Top South Downs Way National Trail Hotel Reviews

The Railway Hotel Worthing

10/10 Excellent

"Staff are absolutely amazing, best place to stay in Worthing!"

The Castle Inn Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, friendly staff and great food at reasonable prices."

Ardington Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This would have been an all over 'excellent' save for one issue immediately resolved by staff. The window catches in the ground floor room I was given which overlooked the garden could not be shut and locked to secure the room from the outside. As soon as I reported this, however, I was immediately offered another secure equally good room so it was resolved - the cleaning staff must have known but had not alerted management who were unaware till I drew it to its attention. That literally was the only thing, it was dealt with at once and my stay was quite wonderful. The food was first rate, they accommodated my dietary needs and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is a stone's throw from the sea with a beautiful outlook on to a square and close to all amenities, buses, theatres and cinemas though the weather was wonderful so I did not avail myself of the theatres! I would recommend it to anyone wanting to visit the south coast and stay in the lovely town of Worthing rather than somewhere like Brighton. Worthing's air is flushed clean daily by the sea breeze and as a location it is really looking up."

Findon Manor Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are super friendly and helpful. The breakfast provided is first rate - the Hollaindese sauce in particular was spectacular! Our room was cosy with all the necessary amenities. The property itself is a traditional manor so it is a little tired in places but beautifully decorated. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

The Windsor House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed for two nights with my husband, comfortable room, clean and friendly staff. We loved the breakfast."

Seaview 2 Bedroom House Sleeps 4 - Pets Ok -wifi

8/10 Good

"Good location for exploring the area - very close to bus stops and a free car park a few mins away. About a 25 minute walk into Shoreham centre. Host was very responsive and helpful - we had a few issues with the TV/wifi but he was able to assist. Property is clean and pleasant for a short stay. We would stay here again."

The Coach and Horses

10/10 Excellent

"Good place to stay . Friendly and nice food . Very helpful in the morning with a take away breakfast bap and coffee . Thank you."

Bex Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"Nice little place in good location."

Merton House

10/10 Excellent

"Mark and Helene made the stay, as short as it was, as good as a home from home. Would certainly suggest trying Merton House as a useful venue away from the seafront to explore the Downland hinterland."
