A major disappointment was the lack of air conditioning in the apartments. Even at night they remained in the 30 degree C range.
Aside from that, the facility is outstanding and the staff were very helpful. I had a family group of 20 staying, and the Old Thorns staff were excellent including setting up a private dinner for all 20 of us.

I stayed when visiting the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Large car park but virtually full due to golf and leisure users.
The room was not cleaned! When I arrived back in the room at 10.00pm it was a bit late to request a clean and bed making as I needed to be up at 05.30.
The leisure facilities were not used but seemed very popular.
Breakfast was buffet style. Satisfactory.
I ate in the sports bar. Typical pub style food.
I would stay again but overall not as good as anticipated.

Great stay but HOT! We've stayed at Old Thorns a few times but sadly I won't be staying again during summer. There is no air conditioning in the rooms and the fan provided (had to request it) was quite rubbish.
Our room, apart from being hotter than the sun, was great though. Massive bed and lots of room around it. Had a few issues, such as the phone not working to enable us to request a fan, lack of fridge and very dusty/dirty up-lighters.
We really enjoyed the pool area and being able to read a book on the loungers.

Upon arrival to the hotel we were immediately impressed by the grounds and the buildings. The car park is big so there is no worry about finding a space in which to park.

The Reception staff were very friendly and checked us in without any issue. All staff were helpful and courteous in dealing with us during our stay.

Our room was spacious, well equipped with tea /coffee making facilities, an iron and ironing board, hairdryer and a tower fan which came in useful during the warm nights. The bathroom was clean and tidy.

There was a decent buffet breakfast with both hot and cold options, and the food was replenished frequently. We visited the Sports Bar for food and drinks whilst the Qatar v Switzerland game was on, service was friendly and fast.
We enjoyed a carvery meal on the Sunday evening, again the food was hot, plentiful and delicious!

We enjoyed a couple of drinks at the The Deers Hut pub which is about 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Great atmosphere there too.

We made use of the swimming pool, which thankfully, was warm. Towels are provided so no need to bring your own. You can get locker keys by swapping your room card.

Definitely a place to revisit.

The room was clean but the lack of air conditioning really let it down. Although we stayed in a particularly warm spell, I imagine that it would be pretty uncomfortable a lot of the time. It was difficult to sleep due to the heat.

The staff were really friendly but not particularly efficient in the Sports Bar. Many people were queuing for quite some time to get a drink. The vegetarian options in the Sports Bar were extremely limited. The option picked was awful but a refund was given without any issues. The non-vegetarian choices made were ok but nothing special for the prices charged. It put us off dining in the restaurant.

Breakfast was ok and could have been improved by different coffee options, more fresh fruit, and better quality pastries. Labels on items would have helped those with dietary issues/restrictions.

All in all we did enjoy our stay but a few tweaks would have made it somewhere to return to.

Booked here for my son’s wedding unfortunately can’t say it all ran smoothly. Firstly we were constantly waiting to be served both in the bars and for breakfast, the only excuse they gave us was they were short staffed not what you want to hear when you’re spending a lot of money on a wedding.
Overall the wedding went well and was well organised.

Unlike almost everything else at the Old Thorns, the breakfast was really sub standard. Tough leathery bacon, tinned mushrooms and (what tasted like) powdered scrambled eggs. I've had better breakfasts in a Travel Lodge! Also, if it was not included, they charged nearly £17 each for it! Such a shame. The wedding catering we attended was very good by comparison.

My second stay at this hotel which pretty much mirrored the previous stay with a few more positives. I found a perfect parking spot just near the entrance and didn't want to give it up so I dined at the sports bar which was a wise decision as the food provided was top notch. My room was on the 2nd floor just around the corner from the leisure facilities which I took full advantage of using both the cardio equipment and weights. A very powerful shower later had me ready for bed which was comfy and led to a decent night's sleep. The breakfast buffet had great ingredients for both a cooked and continental choice of which I sampled a bit of both. For the caliber of place this is and all you have at your disposal, to get a quality room like mine for under £100 is considered a great bargain and I look forward to being back here again in the future.

Ok stay, wouldn’t return

Stay was overall fine but I would say this is currently a three star hotel rather than four star. Suited our needs perfectly well but if I had paid the full price instead of using some Hotels.com vouchers in part-payment, I would have been disappointed by the actual hotel itself. The room and the hotel in general was absolutely roasting and it would have been more effective to have my two daughters blow on me than rely on the fan in the room.
Buffet breakfast was 3* standard, similar to a Premier Inn.
The in room TV is ancient, zero on demand, certainly no Netflix log in or similar, desperately in need of an update.
The spa was nice but Very limited hours for under 16s which we were not informed of in advance (check in is 4pm and my 14 & 15 year old had to be out of the pool and spa by 5pm. Then only allowed in 10-12 the next day).
Spa was very nice but broken hot beds covered yellow/black tape as you entered the wellness space wasn’t a great first impression.
The saviour was the incredible gym, unlike any hotel gym I have ever used, I wish I had known as I would have arrived earlier to use it twice.

Awful hotel. Low quality rooms and shocking food.

A very disappointed family. We paid £390 for one night. I appreciate dynamic pricing and supply & demand, but I also believe there is a ceiling to reasonable room rates. This hotel charges what it can get away with, without concern for value. We had a basic at best room. There were better rooms available, some even had the luxury of air conditioning, but at additional cost. I couldn’t justify £460. Nor should they. You should not charge whatever people are willing to pay, if the facilities can’t match the premium. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
Our evening meal was awful. Fortunately, the restaurant manager was switched on and recognised the awful quality.
I am lucky enough to travel globally with work and never leave reviews. I felt compelled on this occasion to earn others. Please, do not part with your money.

Waste of money.

Could not book the restaurant on check in . The key didn't work. No ac on the hottest day of the year so we had to run the noisy fan all night, so no sleep. The fan lead was to short so no benefit at all from using it. The room stunk of cigarette smoke on entry and there were cigarette butts all over the balcony floor,which I had to clean up. I complained to the manager,he said he would investigate I gave him my email address,but he never contacted me. Standards are dropping and I would never go back. The hotel is so big it feels impersonal. The drunken golfing fraternity in the bar and the language was not to my liking. Glad when I left.

Hot rooms!

Stayed one night for a family wedding. Mixed experience. Overall a lovely hotel and pleasant staff. But they desperately need air con in the bedrooms. Stayed in a deluxe family room. Whilst I appreciate it was extremely warm weather just one fan in a large family room cannot compensate for not having air con. The windows don’t open far due to being on first floor so next to useless especially with the thick blackout curtains closed. Also no fridge in the room which you’d expect with a 4* resort. So couldn’t even chill drinks to cool us down.
Almost unbearable heat as a result.
Wedding lovely but 2 forgotten guests, one adult one child (albeit a bride error) were asked to pay £250 for food!! They offered to have one course each and both non-drinkers so no alcohol required. Having spent so much money on the wedding, guests staying etc for the hotel to ask this seemed astounding. I understand it was not their fault but that charge seems excessive. A further discussion with the mother of the bride and the charge miraculously dropped to £30 which was far more acceptable! Good customer service goes a long way especially when so much had already been spent at the hotel.
