Lythe Hill Hotel, Restaurant & Spa

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.

We stayed overnight as we were visiting my brother and his family in nearby Petworth. We didnt have time to try out the spa facilities but the receptionist offered it to us and unfortunately we had to decline, but will definitely try out the spa and pool next time we stay. 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.

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.
