The Goodwood Hotel

Everything was very good as we were there for a family wedding and everything was perfect for the day.

Despite reserving a room with a cot for a baby, we were allocated a room on the first level. There wasn’t a lift so we had to carry our pram up and down the stairs to access the dining and leisure facilities. On the weekend we stayed they were doing essential maintenance on the pool so we only had a few hours of use. However this was communicated to us prior to our arrival so did not come as a surprise. The hotel interiors were average and nothing “wow” factor about them. Our view was also of the car park but others may face slightly better views. The food was the highlight of our stay. We dined in both the Farmer, Butcher & Chef as well as the Goodwood Bar & Grill and enjoyed both occasions. The quality of the meats made the meal. We also visited the motor circuit and aerodrome which are free to explore and was a memorable day out.

Where to start? No information in the room about restaurants or spa. It was available online, but there was no information about wifi. Of the three advertised reataurants only one was open for two of the nights we stayed, which made few concessions to non-carnivores. The hotel pool seems to be public, while a childern's lesson was going on hotel guests had one lane, unusable if there's more than one guest wanting a swim. Spa lockers didn't work. Shampoo and soap wasn't replenished, used wine glasses weren't removed from the room. The room's window didn't open and close properly. Apart from that....
