Not worthy of 5 stars….Disappointing dinner, dire continental breakfast, no sign of cooked breakfast menu, rooms tired and in need of something to haul them up to 5 stars, like better mattresses…staff seem tired and probably overworked, in general all overpriced and disappointing. We have stayed before but won’t bother again. Very sad indeed!

Utterly exquisite Hotel. From the outside, looks like any other hotel. Until you step inside! Oh WOW.And to top it all - best Cappuccino I've had ever. And that, in my estimation, says a lot for the establishment.Quality and Care!

Stayed overnight before Goodwood Revival. Cost per night doubled over standard price. Meal was OK but choice of desserts was disappointing. Bill arrived as soon as we finished so end of meal felt rushed. Rooms are tired and probably need an update. Hotel was quiet but rooms were hot and not possible to get windows open .

Stayed here for the night after my sister’s wedding in the area. After spending £220 for a room for one night, I was expecting a 5 star experience. Unfortunately, it was an extremely underwhelming and sub par experience. The room was very dated and not the cleanest, the bed was rock hard, you could hear next door so clearly as there didn’t seem to be any sound proofing, the hot water in the shower was intermittent, the breakfast was basic and didn’t include any warm food (also rubbish if you’re a vegan). I arrived at 11:30pm due to the wedding and there was no night porter so had no clue where my room was. I had to spend ages searching the building and its grounds. Everyone in the wedding party who stayed seemed to have a similar experience. Even a printed out room map for us would have helped, but the owner clearly couldn’t be bothered to go the extra mile. I also had to give the kettle from my room to a family member as there was no kettle in their room and they needed to warm up my nieces milk (she’s only a baby). What shocked me the most was the fact I have now seen the usual price for a room in this hotel is £100 per night!!! As soon as the owner knew a wedding party was staying, the prices were doubled. Considering so much business was brought to the owner by my sister, you’d think he wouldn’t let his greed take over. I definitely wouldn’t recommend staying in this hotel unless you have no other option. I have paid less than £220 a night and stayed in much nicer hotels with better breakfast/facilities. I don’t think any guest who stayed left satisfied which speaks for itself really.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Roundabout Hotel while attending my friends Kerlly and Conor’s wedding on Saturday, August 24th, 2024. This charming countryside hotel was the perfect backdrop for their special day, and I couldn’t have been happier with our choice to stay overnight.From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the warm and welcoming staff, who always had smiles on their faces. A special shoutout to Sue, the manager, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was running smoothly. Her attentiveness made us feel truly cared for throughout our stay.The hotel itself is a gem! The food served during the wedding and the breakfast were absolutely delicious, and we were thrilled to find that our accommodations were just as delightful. The room was incredibly comfortable, and even with many guests staying that night, we hardly heard a thing. It was one of the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a long time!Cleanliness is something I value greatly, and I can confidently say that The Roundabout Hotel exceeded my expectations in this regard. Everything was spotless, making it feel like a home away from home.If you find yourself in the Pulborough area, I cannot recommend The Roundabout Hotel enough! Whether you’re attending a wedding or just looking for a peaceful getaway, this hotel is the perfect choice. Don’t hesitate, book your stay, and I promise you won’t regret it!Thank you to the entire team for making our visit so memorable. We can’t wait to return! 🫶

We were lucky enough to celebrate my wife's special birthday at the Roundabout Hotel. We took the 'whole hotel' package which gave us the run of this fabulous and unique location for us and our 80 guests.Andy and Sue made the entire process from planning to execution very easy and they and their friendly professional staff couldn't have been more helpful.The food was delicious, the various rooms ranged from comfortable to absolutely fabulous and this unique setting in the West Sussex countryside made the whole day very special.Thank you Andy, Sue and the entire 'Team Roundabout' !

Just had a lovely stay here following a visit to the Nyetimber Vineyard. The staff are excellent and really go the extra mile to help their patrons. Nothing was too much bother.Our room was clean and tidy with an excellent shower and hot water on demand. The food again was excellent - I had the best Ploughmans Lunch I've had for years which had really generous portions. Dinner was spot on to with the Haddock and Chips hitting the spot. Yes the cooked breakfast is extra and this is mentioned in your booking so shouldn't be sunrise if you read before booking, but the Continental I had was plentiful and very nice.A lovely hotel in a quite location, comfy bed and great staff - you can't ask for more.Highly recommenned !

Very well situated for site seeing in the West Sussex area. Would definitely stay again and explore some more.||Kind Regards |Joy Grover

Stayed at the Roundabout Hotel after a wedding no one on duty at 11pm to show us rooms. I was in an annexe courtesy bus driver helped me. Rooms dated but clean. No cooked breakfast unless you paid £14 a disgrace. Many of the wedding guest stayed at this hotel £169 for a shabby single room double more. Prices high as they charge more if going to the local Wedding venue. Wonderful wedding day but disappointing Hotel. I would not recommend this hotel.

One year ago we booked the Roundabout Hotel for friends and family to stay after my Daughters wedding yesterday. When my Daughter rang last year she was told “ she would get a better deal for everyone as we had nearly booked the entire hotel. “We were told that we could not do a group booking, that everyone had to ring separately and book their own rooms.When i called up I booked two double rooms for one night and was told that the cost was £229.00 per night, so two rooms were £458.00.We arrived at the hotel after the wedding which was one mile up the road around 11.30pm. There was no member of staff onsite and we found out that there is nobody onsite after 11pm, so we felt quite unsafe.The hotel was very tired and there was a 4 centimetre step up into the bathroom which was very dangerous, if you woke in the night and tripped you could bang your head on the basin opposite. Our room was quite clean and the bed comfortable but you could hear the people talking in the next room, just like they were inside the same room as us. Also there were no toiletries as advertised.Came down for breakfast to find out that it was just a continental breakfast and if you wanted cooked it was £13 extra!We paid £229 per room for one night, but looked online and average price is £99.00. For a comparison I tried to book another night for tonight which is a bank holiday weekend and I could book it for £109.00. In my opinion because they knew it was a wedding they charged us an extra £120.00 EXTRA per room.
