Guest Reviews

• Claire (10/5): Great vibe, helpful friendly staff. Very comfortable place to stay - Atmosphere was great. Central location in lovely town Nothing
• Amy (10/5): Would definitely recommend - Such a beautiful little hotel, the pub was vibrant had such a lovely atmosphere, the rooms had such character and the staff were so so friendly. Breakfast was so so nice and the bar made cocktails that were so delicious
• Neil (6/5): Nice bedrooms and staff, but the bed was too short with the wooden frame. - Location and nice bedroom. The bed had a wooden board at the end. As a tall person this was too short for me and led me to have a bad nights sleep. I was not able to straighten my legs and be comfortable. The hotel does not have a lounge to use, but you have to share the pub downstairs which can be noisy. Breakfast is offered at a nearby café. The staff behind the BAR were friendly and attractive.
• Lindsay (8/5): Would stay again but in a different suite. - Very accommodating, clean, friendly and had everything we needed. We were able to park right to property but free parking is limited. Breakfast was EXCELLENT, top quality and cooked well. The only drawback was the bath and shower head, the water pressure was a bit rubbish! We had the roll top bath room which we had to pay extra for and was not very usable.
• Venetia (10/5): -
• John (8/5): COMFY HOTEL ON MARKET SQUARE - GOOD POSITION NEXT TO MARKET SQUARE. LARGE 4 POSTER GAVE BEDROOM CHARACTER. STANDARD BREAKFAST. HOTEL SEEMED A LITTLE RUN DOWN INTERNALLY.
• David (10/5): - Amazing historical building. Great location, rooms and breakfast! Nothing
• Catherine (8/5): -
• Phil (9/5): Overall, perfect for my overnight stay for Goodwood. - Great location to stay for Goodwood events. Didn't eat at the restaurant but the bar was great. Staff super friendly and helpful. Room was a good size, comfortable and clean. Check-in was painless, even when arriving later in the evening when the pub was busy. The electric shower in the en-suite had low water pressure and was a bit tricky to get the temperature right, either boiling hot or stone cold! Also, room was a little on the cold side. Room had a radiator but I couldn't see any heating controls so probably just me not looking hard enough!
• Mark (4/5): Disappointing - Location Accommodation did not reflect the cost.
• George (9/5): We enjoyed the relaxing ambiance of this period Inn! - Superb location - fabulous breakfast. Clean rooms and facilities - relaxing ambiance in a period Inn! Zero
• Jane (9/5): - Beautiful room, relaxed check in and departure. Nothing to dislike at all Nothing . All good
• Marie (7/5): Great location, quite noisy! - Central location and great staff Very noisy in the evening as it is a busy lively pub / no shower in room
• Lucy (10/5): Perfect in every way. - It was comfortable and clean and the staff were lovely. Delicious breakfast. Ideal location for us.
• Graham (9/5): - We had a great stay. No hesitation in recommending this accommodation.
• AdrianBall (10/5): Absolutely superb place to stay, great base for walking the South Downs - Suberb hitoric building in the sublime historic middle of Midhurst. This ancient building is a delight. There was ample outside seating to enjoy the Spring sunshine. Great range of beers and ales. Their cocktails are all expertly mixed. There are only a few rooms, but all are very nicely furnished, very clean, warm and supremely comfortable. There are five or six options for the breakfast (included in room price). We both had the Swan Breakfast, essentially a full English, all freshly prepared and expertly cooked. The level of service is excellent, even when the pub was busy, it didnt take long for one of the staff to come over and offer service. We really enjoyed our stay here. Highly recommended This place is pretty much faultless. My only very minor gripe is that the window in our room wouldn't open.
• Andree (7/5): Great location and lovely people but underwhelming otherwise. - Great location and very friendly staff. Very noisy from the bar below and the road outside the window. W We were unable to have breakfast in the accommodation because we were the only people staying. We were told to have breakfast in a nearby cafe instead, which would be paid for by the hotel. Not ideal and quite disappointing.
• Caroline (9/5): - We had a leaving do at work so it was close for me to walk to work in morning so excellent location for me i plan to stay again in the near future and come down to bar for a drink and food I was disappointed i didnt get to have breakfast as i hax to be at work fir 6 am
• Paula (10/5): - A really warm welcome on arrival, the room was really lovely. We had both dinner and breakfast and both meals were delicious
• Johnstone (9/5): - Staff were amazingly helpful and polite and everything was done with a smile The breakfast form was filled out the night before serving , and although certain things were missing after asking for extras etc it was still on top form and delicious
• Amy (9/5): Comfortable stay with lovely staff! - Staff were extremely friendly. Food was great - I had the in house breakfast but also had dinner one night downstairs. Room was cosy, clean, nicely decorated. Worked perfectly as I was attending a course nearby. Bathroom was a little less nice, but I think goes with the age of the building.
• Paul (8/5): -
• Alison (10/5): - Friendly , helpful staff , excellent menu , delicious food , comfortable bed
• Denise (8/5): Suited us for meeting up with family. - Quaint historic building overlooking the church. Only stayed one night. Room could have been cleaner (paintwork/windows)
• Lesley (3/5): It was really disappointing. Felt like a lot of money for a pretty grim room. - Really comfy bed, and friendly staff. Staff tried to be really helpful, but if I'd known before the morning that breakfast was going to be in the deli across the road I would have made different plans. (The deli was great by the way.) The room felt dirty, needed a good clean and probably a new carpet. Light bulbs missing.
• Thomas (10/5): - Right nice place to stay! Very old pub with rooms, quaint, and the food was all excellent! Ita not a luxury place, I’d give it an 8.4 overall, but the price was right and we loved it.
• Philippe (4/5): -
• Simon (9/5): Lovely hotel. Lovely staff. Great value. Would/will stay again. - The situation and the super helpful staff. Great breakfasts. There was no dinner service for all three nights we were there. The chef was sick. Real shame but a problem that couldn’t be sorted.
• Jo (8/5): Pleasant - Accommodating, friendly.
• Aimee (7/5): A lovely location -
• Michael (6/5): - Property was in a good location Beds were very small and not that comfortable. Breakfast took a long time to arrive, but was good quality.
• David (10/5): Highly recommended! - What a little gem! Room was great, staff were amazing (really welcoming and friendly, particularly one young fella!) and food (dinner and breakfast) were excellent. Thanks to all at the Swan Inn! Nothing!
• miles (10/5): Very enjoyable.would stay there again - Location, staff, cleanliness and the convenient position in the heart of Midhurst
• Andrew (10/5): -
• Devinder Singh (8/5): - Reakfast Pub is noisy
• Stephanie (9/5): -
• Jeanie (8/5): -
• Philip (5/5): Comfortable but noisy room - poor breakfast. - Room was comfortable, clean and spacious, although the bathroom was rather cramped. The breakfast was very disappointing - none of the usual cereals, pastries, juices, fruit or toast provided. Particularly disappointing given the quite high price for a room above a pub. As expected, there was noise from inside and outside the pub until after 11.30 p.m. Should have double glazed windows to reduce the inevitable noise.
• Glindon (10/5): -
• Gemma (10/5): - Beautiful old building with spacious, airy rooms and a good breakfast! We’d stay again!
• Susan (5/5): Location good, we needed to be in Midhurst. But I would not recommend and I will not be back. - Great central location. Warm welcome. Kind offer to assist with our luggage was a good touch too. My friend enjoyed her pasta/ fish meal. Breakfast was good. Room was far too cramped, and dark. Obviously had small windows (as a very old property) but room painted in very dark colours too. Overall affect I’m sorry to say was very gloomy. Looking for a charging point I saw how behind the bed (headboard end) hadn’t been cleaned for a long time…. Very limited vegetarian menu. Very Slow service at dinner - although helpful (? Over stretched) young woman.
• Laurent (6/5): -
• Julie (8/5): Excellent food, staff very helpful and location to the town - The location, historical history, food, friendly and competent staff The noise from the bar but appreciate live music is offered on a Saturday night
• Machlien (10/5): Nous avons dormi à l'hotel avec 3 amies, la gérante était tellement aimable et le service parfait. - Le service était vraiment top et les managers tellement sympathiques. Un hotel charmant avec une belle ambiance. Nous avons tout aimé :-)
• maureen (8/5): Perfect stay for us! - Perfect location in lovely town Breakfast was very good staff very friendly and efficient
• Howard (10/5): Wonderful old hotel in beautiful town! - Wonderful hotel in beautiful old English town! Parking is a challenge but we were lucky! Staff greeter was exceptionally friendly and helpful. No elevator (lift) so prepare for spiral stairs! Food was absolutely first-class as was the service. Highly recommended 👌
• Tim (10/5): Great overnight stay. - A great overnight stay in a friendly pub. The room was spacious and very clean and the inclusive breakfast was excellent. The cooked breakfast was one of the best I have had. The staff were great and very helpful - nothing was too much trouble.
• helene (10/5): - All of it
• David and Amanda (8/5): Nice old style Inn. - Nice bar area, very friendly staff. Parking is tricky nearby.
• Ann (8/5): - Very helpful staff when we had to change date of arrival at short notice. Kitchen unavailable for breakfast following morning but were advised to use café across the square and just give them our room number and order/eat breakfast there. No fuss at all
• David and Amanda (9/5): I found it lovely and would stay again. - The staff were lovely, the food was great and the rooms were pleasant. We were in room 2. My aged parents were in room 6 and found the decor too dark. They also found the Prime TV extremely difficult to navigate which meant I had to keep popping into their room to help.
• Philippa (10/5): - Friendly staff, lovely room, great breakfast and pretty location. Can recommended.
• Michael (7/5): -
• Simon (3/5): -
• Jeromy (8/5): I would certainly happily stay here again. - Character full old building, very comfortable bed. Very helpful and courteous staff who did their best to sort out a couple of issues which arose promptly and efficiently and satisfactorily. The kitchen was not open during our brief stay so we were not able to enjoy their food however alternative arrangements were great. The gaps around the window were not a problem for us but could be for others as we were there in high summer and had the window open but if traffic noise was an issue and you wanted the window closed it would not keep the sound out.
• Muir (10/5): -
• Lydia (10/5): Great place! Fabulous stay for Goodwood! Definitely recommend - Lovely pub in the perfect location for Goodwood! Lovely atmosphere, great friendly staff, great breakfast! Definitely recommend Nothing we didn’t like
• Jamie (4/5): - Bed ok, room clean but no normal tv and no hand soap
• Malcolm (8/5): Good value - rooms clean and well equipped. - In the centre of town but opposite the church and it’s courtyard so pretty quiet.
• Bryony (10/5): -
• Linda (10/5): -
• Alexander (8/5): Good place to stay for a night in Midhurst - Very central. Helpful staff. Good breakfast. Had to park few hundred yards away in a local car park (£6.60 for 48hrs). No food offering on Tuesday evenings. We got the last room (6) at short notice, hence rather compact and quite dark. Room 2 would have been much nicer.
• richard (6/5): - Very pricey for an okay hotel. Room okay - not great - en suite so small. Breakfast was okay - missing cereal and other breakfast nicities but cooked breakfast was good.
• Cameron Charles (9/5): -
• Paul (10/5): Will be returning in the Autumn, for another break ! - Great position in midhurst , decor is so right! Lively atmosphere . Nothing
• fiona (10/5): You won't be disappointed! - Everything... great welcome, great staff, efficient but not intrusive. The dinner was exceptional...excellent, interesting octopus starter, delicious and expertly cooked mains...both steak and fish were cooked and seasoned perfectly, and a strawberry parfait to die for. Very impressed by our whole experience. Nothing...the hotel is in a good position...plenty of parking nearby. The room was comfortable and very pleasant. Nothing not to like.
• Stephanie (8/5): - Lovely, quirky old property in Midhurst which is a very pretty town. The bed was very comfortable. The shower could get very hot so you need to be a little careful. It is a very old building so these things are to be expected. Breakfast was very good. All staff are friendly and helpful. I would stay again.
• Humphries (9/5): Comfortable friendly hotel that met our needs completely as a base for a family wedding. -
• Judy (4/5): - The bed hurt my back a lot, as it was not firm enough and my lower back needs support. Even now it isn't fully recovered. The older maid seems to know how to open a suitcase lock and change the combination, so now I cannot get into the two backpacks I had locked. I have certainly never experienced that before! So the young maid who was there when I left got no tip from me. I didn't mean to hurt her feelings, but assumed tips may be shared.
• Barry (10/5): -
• Elizabeth (10/5): -
• Burns (6/5): -
• Sarah (10/5): Brilliant stay! We will be back - The owners and all the staff were fantastic and made our stay amazing! They couldn’t do enough for you. The food was brilliant and the chef is very talented. The location was perfect! No parking but managed to get a space each time I had to move the car just have to be a bit patient.
• Mike (10/5): Fab weekend away - Great atmosphere beautiful village
• Stephen (10/5): Fun - Stylish Nothing
• Daniel (8/5): -
• Noreen (7/5): It was pleasant - Comfy bed, nice staff room ok Upstairs landing a bit dark and dingy.
• Peter (9/5): A brilliant stay enhanced by the quality of the food. - We arrived to have lunch in the bar/restaurant and enjoyed a really excellent selection of starters to share. We didn't need any further dishes as the starters were good and generous. The breakfast choices were standard but also excellent. We could also have a latte and not just the usual black coffee. We also had dinner one night with fantastic seafood and met the chef who told us they will present game dishes later in the year. We especially appreciated Jonty's welcome and help with recommending other restaurants and locations. As the inn is based in the historic centre we enjoyed the location and the architecture around us. Our room also had a four poster bed. The Inn does not have its own parking understandably and the car park is about 3 minutes away which was ok as the weather was good. The staircase up to the rooms is a bit tight so small cases are a good idea.
• Suzanne (9/5): -
• NikkiTD (8/5): Fantastic breakfast! - Nice room with a view, friendly staff and great breakfast. Limited parking options and getting big bags up the stairs is a challenge.
• Natalia (10/5): - Fantastic breakfast, really impressed by the food and the owner was lovely. Very comfortable stay
• Susan (7/5): It was enjoyable - Clean, staff friendly and close to amenities.
• Candida (8/5): The staff are very friendly & welcoming. Breakfasts were delicious & our evening meal was exceptional- great fis - A lovely traditional inn with modern facilities in a perfect location for the family wedding we were attending. Highly recommended. Nothing

Delicious food in lively bar. The staff are exceptional - so friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome.
• Sharon (10/5): Great -
• Anna (8/5): Loved it - Amazing service. Room was cold
• michael (7/5): -
• Toni (8/5): -
• Marian (7/5): -
• Luke (8/5): -
• Michael (8/5): Lovely pub in the middle of Midhurst in need of a little tlc. - The food was excellent and all the staff were very friendly and made us feel relaxed and welcome. Cocktails were fabulous, got our weekend off to a great start. Slightly disapointed that we weren't in the room that we thought we had booked. Although we were in the four poster room, which I didn't like, the bed was very comfortable. I understand this is an old and quirky property but this room was a little tatty and in need of fresh decoration. Also there was mould in the bathroom, the smell wasn't very nice. Could do with a good clean and the grout requires renewing.
