Stayed here one night as I was attending a wedding down the road at Farbridge. The property, room and facilities were all lovely. Comfy bed, nice fluffy towels and the room had everything you could need. Plenty of parking and nice garden. The staff were welcoming, including Ruby the dog, and the breakfast was amazing! And very nice to have my gluten intolerance accommodated for at breakfast too. My only slight negative is the price but it was perfect location and only a 20 min walk to the venue (3 min drive).

Amazing stay in the centre of Sussex countryside

Amazing place close to Goodwod horse and motor racing venues. Great food. We had both lunch and dinner at the hotel. Tastefully decorated rooms with nice en suite facilities. Would have loved to have booked same period next year, but all rooms already fully booked. Lovely landlady / chef owner.

Lovely Surprise

This was a lovely surprise. Stayed one night for a family wedding nearby, having driven past the pub hundreds of times through many different incarnations. The rooms were super clean, looked brand new and had everything we needed, the service was great and the breakfast hit the spot. It's a proper lovely traditional country pub.

From the moment I arrived I felt welcome. I had a wedding cake to deliver the next day and the chef kindly stored it overnight in his walk in fridge. I was shown to my very comfortable room and all facilities explained. Breakfast choices were huge and delicious. Staff were polite and friendly.

A return to Sussex. Like coming home.

This was just the place I had hoped it would be. My wife and I enjoyed the great character, olde ‘worlde’ charm, really good and welcoming service. Quiet rooms. The food was simple (don’t expect Cordon Bleu), plentiful and very tasty. We were told they had lots of walkers and cyclists from the Centurion Way. We’ll be back.

We were tended to by courteous, pleasant staff. We did not require breakfast and the management reduced our bill taking this into consideration. The bedroom was spotless and very comfortable. It was a peaceful night which was undisturbed. The only possible thing missing was that no shower cap was provided! :-)

Comfortable and delicious food

Greeted and had our suitcase carried to the room. Very comfortable and spacious room with all one could need, including complimentery bottled water. Appreciative of having large bath sheets rather than smaller bath towels. Delicious breakfast with plenty of choice, and well presented. We ate dinner there too and that was equally delicious. Excellent service from all staff. Please note that The Selsey Arms is not in Lavant but in West Dean!
