Just came back from a 3 night stay and I can highly recommend it.
We booked the room with the king size bed in the old part of the building. We did have to get up a small flight of stairs which also had another mini set of stairs inside the room which made it very quirky but might not be great for the older folk. We didn't have aircon in our room and it was super hot and I imagine it's because it's a grade 2 listed building but they did provide a large fan which did help.
We booked the room with breakfast included but just like most of the reviews that I had already seen this was very hit and miss. Full English was available but came out luke warm and not very well presented, so ended up opting for other options instead.
The spa was lovely, like I've already mentioned it was very hot at the time of our stay so made full use of the sun loungers. It was very much like a holiday abroad little dip in the pool to return to the sunbed to dry out, sunbathe and read a book. It was Perfect! Even tried to book another night as we didn't want to leave but they were fully booked.

Staff were incredibly helpful and polite throughout our stay. Room was impeccably clean and breakfast was lovely. Only slight issue was staff were sometimes a little slow getting to us to order cooked breakfast meaning we had to miss out on the one day because we had an impatient toddler. We also had dinner on our first night and it was lush.

The hotel looks great at forst impression, the room was clean and very nice. On closer inspection the hotel could do with a little maintenance to bring it to a good standard, for example the patio needs weeding, several lockers in the spa do not work and there are cracks and broken glass in the restaurant windows.

I would say we were disappointed with the restaurant. The food was not great, not cooked to the request (asked for medium rare steak and got it basically eaw in the middle; the duck breast came out with the skin not cooked/crispy), the black forest gateau was dry and chewy at the same time. I would have put it to the bad day, but the next morning the cooked breakfast was also below expetatikns, with most of the food being served barely look warm and the scrambled eggs looked very questionable. Long story short I came home with very upset tummy.

If you are staying in the hotel I would suggest to eat somewhere else.

Lovely stay overall but breakfast needs improving

Lovely hotel that we have stayed in several times. We are pleased the price is reasonable as this matches its current way. Good points- tranquil and gorgeous grounds, lovely rooms and friendly check in, can use spa on the day of check out which is great.
Negative points- breakfast buffet was almost empty and needed a major refill which took quite a while, very limited gluten free offering at breakfast. Spa needs a refresh.

Nice hotel that needs to rethink a few things

Hotel and rooms are comfortable, the car park is poorly laid out and there are either steps or cobbles to get over to access reception. Tried to get a bar meal in the evening, was told only food is in main restaurant, I wanted quick comfort food and not silver service, so went somewhere else for all 3 nights, spoke to some other guys there who all did the same. Would’ve been happy to use pizzeria if it was open. Breakfast was good, but again I wanted something quicker as pushed for time as restaurant doesn’t open until 7am, not sure £18:50 for breakfast is good value. Above or near my room (205) there is a pump (or similar) that runs for a few seconds repeatedly day and night. Gym was well equipped

Nice property convenient for Haslemere. The first room I was given wasn't very practical for my needs as I had a lot of luggage working away and had to negotiate numerous flights of steps. It also proved to be very noisy however, I moved to a quieter room for the rest of my stay which was excellent. Super friendly staff and nice location. Made use of the gym which is good although sweat towels would be appreciated. Lovely breakfast but sadly didn't make it to the spa. Fridges in the rooms are a huge must especially as it was so hot along with a tidy up of the back parking area but all in all, a nice stay and I would definitely return.

The staff are polite and the rooms clean.

Unfortunately, we were given a room with a disabled shower room and toilet. If you’ve ever tried washing your face in a sink that sits at knee level, it’s not a great look and bad for your back and forehead.

The sauna/gym/pool are good.

It was a shame that you couldn’t sit outside for a drink and to eat as there appears to a known wasp issue and short of wearing protective head gear and carrying a can of Raid, this was impossible.

Otherwise, good locality to Goodwood, for which I’m grateful.

Comfy bed,good grounds,poor gluten free breakfast

We had an enjoyable time here but the hotel is just coming into new directors which I think it needs. The spa area was lovely but needs a bit of refreshing. The grounds are stunning. Our room was wonderful! The bed was super comfy and I loved having the option for a bath.
The real let down was the breakfast for me as I’m gluten free. It was very limited options for me! I had a full English (minus the hash brown and sausage as they had gluten). However, there was no gluten free bread so I couldn’t have toast which is poor. There was also no gf cereal, cakes or pastries. It was disappointing. We would come back if it’s a reasonable price and the breakfast offering improves.

The best part about this stay was the complimentary gym and pool with sauna…the room was a little small but clean. The restaurant for dinner was a very small and expensive menu with no light options and no flexibility on making amends to dishes. Breakfast was disappointing with no yoghurt and compote for most days and I was only asked if I preferred my eggs other than scrambled on the last day.

No alcohol available!

The venue does not have an alcohol licence. This was lost about 5 weeks ago according to staff. Not great when you want a night cap and not advised beforehand. Nothing else around to have a drink.
The staff were very warming and the service was good.
Booked dinner for the second night of the stay. Food was good, service amazing. But they only emailed that day to say about no alcohol available.
Room was ok. The premium room had no heating in the bathroom and was freezing cold. There was also a door to a small patio area for the room, but the door was broken so unable to use.
Whilst the staff were great i would not recommend the hotel.

Although the premium room was nice the walls were so thin we could hear the people in the next room as if they were in our room with us. The 'spa' looked tired and old was full of raucus children just as you would expect at holiday camp and also people who were not staying at the hotel. No treatments were available and we were told they were all booked up until end of april.
Parking was awful and we were expexted to park in a remote overflow car park full of shipping comtainers. We left without staying as they couldnt offer us an alternative room and were also told we would have to wait for the refund to be authorised by a supervisor. Extremely unhappy with service and ameneties as we travelled a significant distance to get there.

Firstly I would like to say that the staff are working extremely hard but are understaffed or had sickness during our visit. Our check in was 45 minutes late, the room looked nice (502) but bed was uncomfortable, there was no soundproofing in the room at all therefore heard neighbours coughing, talking, walking around and flushing the toilet all throughout the stay and the night. The spa is very dated with need for refurbishment. The jacuzzi was cold and the poolside muddy. The restaurant service was slow due to lack of staff, although the staff were incredible. Some small improvements could really take this hotel up to standard.

Overall a great stay

We stayed for 3 nights in a Lodge suite, the room was new and clean, however some signs of neglect around the shower room floor and cobwebs in the skylight windows, but overall good condition throughout, very quiet due to the position of the bedroom, no immediate neighbours either side, which was amazing given we were travelling with a toddler and were probably a bit noisy very early in the morning. The hotel has been refurbished fairly recently. All staff was friendly, the breakfast was very good, we ordered room service on one of the nights and the food was alright but it was a bit unclear how/to whom you order, more clarity would help.
The pool area was good, pool water temperature was warm, the spa was fully booked, so we didn’t try it but it seemed busy.
Waitrose 4 min drive away, convenient for some shopping.
Plenty of parking.
Some little issues like our room was never added to the breakfast list, so we had to explain every day, the room service instructions as mentioned above and some cleaning issues, but nothing that couldn’t be fixed easily, overall I would stay again.

Zero duty of care or concern for their staff or other hotel guests. Used IHG hotels for a long time and used to be good, although cleanliness and customer service has really gone downhill recently.

I’m a 54 year old black British professional person. I stayed here with my 8 year old daughter for one night as an end of term treat. First, I booked a suite and upon arrival was “upgraded” to a room on top of the restaurant. I asked the receptionist to book a table at the restaurant as I thought the restaurant would be full. That night the restaurant was virtually empty but the staff member kept asking me if I booked and I had to repeat my surname several times. We were finally served and it took two hours for us to get out of there. The service was extremely slow. We had to head for the door to get our bill. Then my daughter could not sleep because of the noise coming from the restaurant and bar. The noise did not stop until we’ll past 11 pm. Then the spa. First the spa is very old and in dire need of refurbishing. We were told by Eden (a lovely polite girl) that we needed to hire dressing gowns and £15 each fur the day. I have never heard of such a thing. The following day at the spa we had a different girl from Eden who spoke to to me in such condescending terms I was left shocked. Terrible manners. If there is any sophistication at this place it was not afforded to my daughter and I by that girl at the pool. All in all I found it cold, passive aggressive and full of inverted snobbery. I wish them the best of luck but wild horses would not take me back there.

Smart looking, separate buildings, interesting

Didn't miss the turn into entrance. Parking was easy. Recommend overflow , left near the pizzeria, lovely polite looking view. Reception easy to find and fast informed desk. Stayed in main block, well numbered. No lift/elevator I don't think (needs confirming)....work renovation at entrance of block was a little off putting but room very spacious, clean looking, towels , irons, kettles ect all in good order.. window view not up to much but Surrey area obviously has nice views all over... Breakfast was a little confusing if paid with room and also a bit extra unnecessary cost but a good continental (get there before 9am) full breakfast was light on doubling up on eggs sausage type thing though....WiFi and location was ideal.. bar is quaint with fire place.
All staff smilingly getting on with there shifts... Some making more efforts than others.
Steam Room and poolside in condition for its age..bright large window views..warm water..bubble bath continuous meaning no jumping up or out to reset it again... Sauna was out of order unfortunately. Changing rooms clean, reception girl at spa polite and informative, well tidy, the walk to spa from hotel was mainly gravel so maybe a path or hardened waypoint would be advised.
Check out easy too. Kind regards.

An honest review.

Room was nice even though it wasn’t finished eg holes in ceiling, no plug socket near kettle. The walls are very thin in the Tudor building.

Worst part was the unfriendly and unprofessional staff. The girl at check in did not provide a warm welcome after our two hour drive to get there, she was extremely stuck up and rude. Treated us like peasants. They give you a map to go and find your room. We were in 501 and they hide the sign behind a door frame. The Eastern European women at the Tudor restaurant was also rude, unprofessional and looked down at us, and again no warm welcome, cold natured with a natural inability to crack a smile.

But worst was the divering old pensioner they have at breakfast time, before you get seated for breakfast you have to stand in the dining room amongst the guests having there breakfasts waiting for him to finish his chats with the other pensioners then he’ll shuffle over to you and ask how many for breakfast, then he’ll wander off to tell off a waitress, then shuffle back to you and ask how many for breakfast then before showing you to your seats he’ll point and explain what all the food is and where it is then you can sit down, then as it’s a buffet, get back up and try and navigate through the tiny dining room.
You’ll have to wait in line for everything, tea, toaster, hot food etc.

Probably will try this place again as the over half liked it but in a few years so all the current disinterested staff have moved on or been sacked.

Everything was great with the exception of the heating in our room. It was very warm. We tried to adjust the room stat, but eventually we turned down the TRV stat on the radiator.
The room was very clean with large tv. The bathroom facilities were clean and modern. There was tea and coffee and kettle in the room with plentiful supplies.
All in all, excellent value for money and will definitely stay again.

Great Hotel!

The hotel is currently going through a renovation. I stayed in a newly refurbished room and it was lovely. I have stayed here a few times in the past also prior to this. I can say that the updates are looking great and I’m looking forward to staying again in the future.

We arrived for a one night stay on 4th February to outstanding views and a beautiful location. Checked in to reception with friendly staff. Unfortunately it all went downhill when we arrived in our room. A very large cobweb greeted us on the ceiling which had clearly been there for a long time. Bath panel left on floor and shower unusable as hose was broken. Walls very grubby!!! We were there for a function and as they are having renovation work done in the function room the toilets were outside up a ramp in the dark. I have emailed hotel and still waiting for a reply!!! We paid £225 for the night but we would have had better facilities in a premier inn for cheaper!!!

Mixed Feelings

Our main complaint was a very poorly prepared room. No toilet paper, tissues. Light next to bed didn’t work bathroom door didn’t shut properly. TV didn’t tune in to BBC and to top it of no phone to ask for things to be rectified so had to walk outside to reception in pouring rain, down unlit slippery steps. I found the strong smell of paint not good.
Spa was fine but had to ask for steam room, sauna not working. Food was good as was bar and catering service.

A memorable New Year's Eve

We had a brilliant New Year's Eve at Lythe Hill. The evening was great fun, but the staff made it super special. There was a mix up on our room but, without fuss, we were upgraded to one of the newly renovated lodges, which my girls loved, check in and out was easy and friendly and all the event staff were helpful and cheerful. I'd really recommend both the hotel and the events as we had a memorable start to 2023!

Good food and service but needs updating.

Food and service were really good. Spa was ok but changing room in need of updating- none of the lockers worked. Room was ok but tired, scratched doors, veneer on dressing table chipped off, plaster chipped off on wall.

In need of better upkeep

My three night stay was mostly excellent. General facilities, staff friendliness and service, and food, all very good. In parts it looked like the facilities needed some care and upkeep. It is understood that the hotel has very recently come into new ownership. Perhaps the previous owners were holding back on investment. My stay coincided with the recent heatwave and my room was unbearably hot. However, the windows were only able to open about one inch. This needs to be addressed and consideration given to fitting air conditioning. The hotel is a gem in a beautiful location. Much more could be made of it rather than cutting corners. Hope the new owners invest wisely.

Facilities are nice, but lack ventilation. We arrived on a warm summer evening, and our room was boiling. Tiny windows and little fans did not help. It was very difficult to sleep in the stifling heat, lying naked on top of our beds. So do not visit in the summer!

Not as good as advertised

The hotel did not live up to my expectations based on the previous reviews. The bedroom was small but comfortable the public areas were clean and airy.
It’s my opinion that the hotel was mainly for weddings and functions rather than casual guests. The restaurant was poor, the food was not cooked or presented as described on the menu.
The reception staff could not be bothered to say good morning when we walked past to breakfast but were happy to talk with the wedding guests.
The rooms were expensive and I would recommend looking elsewhere as there is plenty of choice.

Generally good.

Overall a nice hotel. Facilities in the room were good apart from limited power sockets.
Bathroom was tired and needed updating. It was large with 2 sinks and walk in shower. The shower worked ok, sinks were old and drainage needed attention. There was no electric shaver point.

Great location and amenities, however, there is always room for improvement. Staff were friendly and helpful, the gym, the pool and the dinning experienced were all great but its lacking something . . . I am sorry but despite the hospitality, the one thing missing was connection. I didn't feel connected despite the conversations I had with various staff. Its not a negative thing but something to improve. We visited the neighbouring areas in Surrey and there was that genuine helpful connection with their customers.

First choice

This is probably my 6 or 7th stay, although this the first in over two years.

It remains when the price is right, one of the best hotels that I stay in.

Rooms are big and beds great.

Main building is beautiful.

Gym and spa are good too.

Nice breakfast to top it off!

Stay was good. Room was lovely. However, the bathroom could do with some TLC ... ceiling had black mould, the seal on the shower screen could do with being replaced as water leaked all over floor when in shower. There is also a hole in the wall behind main door to room that needs repairing. Otherwise staff were lovely, and the food delicious.
