Top South Downs Planetarium and Science Centre Hotel Reviews

The Cottage

8/10 Good

"Close to centre"

The Goodwood Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and well-equipped room (lacks bedside plug sockets for phone charging) and nicely air conditioned. Great staff, especially on reception and in the bar. Note - Goodwood is known for petrol heads and sadly no electric car charging available in the car park."

Harbour Hotel Chichester

8/10 Good

"We stayed in the cottage which was lovely and the staff are great with allergies so near perfect with the exception of having no air conditioning but they did provide fans ."

The Nags Head

8/10 Good

"Clean and well serviced in the rooms. There was a wedding party when we were there that was very noisy and although they had a great time it was difficult to hold a conversation in the restaurant in the evening, that's why I gave good rather that excellent."

Little Orchard Bed and Breakfast Chichester

8/10 Good

"This property is in an excellent location for Chichester centre and for Goodwood Racecourse. The owner was lovely. Friendly and approachable. Cleanliness is a priority for us and this accommodation was first class. Breakfast options were varied to suit all tastes and we loved the fresh fruit (not always the case in many places we have visited). It was a relaxing environment to start the day, especially chatting about Art. We have learned so much about Sculpture and certain Sculptors after our visit! 😂. The only thing to mention for future visitors is the lack of a fan in the room (we had a spacious luxury room overlooking the back garden). Due to the heatwave, it was quite unbearable during our 4 night stay despite having taken our own small fan. We would never book anywhere abroad without air conditioning and sadly, Uk is now facing such extreme temps."

The Bulls Head

10/10 Excellent

"Good room, quiet and simple with comfy bed and a good shower. Food in the pub was great too. We hope to return"

Northlands Farm & Lakes

10/10 Excellent

"An amazing stay at a beautiful venue. Chalet has everything you need and is very clean and cosy. It is a very cool place with lots of things to do for the kids. Highly recommend it!"
