The Woodstock House Hotel - Guest House  

The Woodstock House Hotel is in a great location for West Dean Gardens, Goodwood, Chichester etc in the lovely hamlet of Charlton surrounded by fields and the South Downs. Rooms are nicely situated around a very pleasant courtyard garden, good breakfasts (excellent local sausages) are served, and it's very close to The Fox Goes Free pub which serves excellent food (may need to book at busy times). On the down side The Rose Room was a little cramped, we couldn't find a hairdryer (luckily we'd brought one in case), and power points were rather inaccessible: over all, despite its plus points, the hotel felt a bit over-priced.

The staff were welcoming, making us a pot of tea (free!) on our arrival to drink in the lounge. While the lounge was cold on our arrival, loads of logs slung into the wood-burner soon warmed us up.

The double room we thought we had booked was a twin room (room 4). It was quite small, and the en-suite shower/basin/toilet room was tiny with rather battered decoration.

Lovely location, attractive building. Room clean, comfortable and warm. Good breakfast.

Staff were monosyllabic. No communication beyond what was absolutely necessary. Downstairs sitting room and dining room was a bit chilly.

Comfortable, warm, pleasant beautiful environment, lovely secluded garden,

Breakfast a bit limited, could do with a bit more choice for the amount paid.

Friendly welcome, good breakfast

Decor was a little tired, probably slightly overpriced

Great breakfast

A friendly relaxing environment adjacent to an excellent country pub

Convenient, comfortable, quiet

Room 2 - poor shower over the bath

Pretty breakfast room overlooking garden.

Location in a village, only a few hundred yards from a pub that served food. Outlook from dining room/sun room onto pleasant courtyard garden.

Lack of facilities. It was much more "Guest House" than "Hotel". We were hoping for a meal on the evening of our arrival but were told that it "wasn't worth their while". The bar was not open, although we read on the literature in our room that it could be opened "on request". Our room was cold. Heating came on for 1 hour before breakfast, but not early enough for us both to bath/shower in comfort and also for 1 hour in the evening - although, on our final evening it did not come on at all. The public areas were cold. There was not a proper shower in our en suite. The shower head connected to the bath supply would not run at an even temperature but would have surges of very hot or very cold water.

Comfortable hotel in a quiet village. Good breakfast and friendly staff.

Towels weren't changed in a four night visit. Hotel website refers to evening meals being available at weekends. Not so!. However, not a major problem as a very good pub almost next door.

A warm welcome, a very comfortable room, and peace and quiet
