Ashburnham Vacations from $1,404

Had a relaxing stay here in a beautiful room facing the golf course. Lovely breakfast too.

We had an okay stay here, but it didn’t quite live up to other Marriott experiences we’ve had. On the plus side: free parking was convenient, check-in was quick, and the room had plenty of handy plug sockets. Breakfast was decent by UK standards, with friendly service — though bread options were poor, and the waffles were so sweet even our daughter couldn’t eat them. The room itself was just “ok.” It felt dated, a bit stuffy on arrival (the window barely opened), and the bathroom had some scale and mould in the corners. The duvets, like in many hotels, were far too thick for comfort. We tried the pool and spa but were disappointed — the pool was very cold, the jacuzzi was bubbly but also cold, several spa areas were closed, paint was peeling in the changing rooms, and one of the two escalators was out of order. On the positive side, the showers were well stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and gel. All in all, not terrible, but not worth nearly £170 per night. The place has clearly seen better days and would really benefit from a refresh and better maintenance.

Beaverbrook is beautiful. But service (despite plenty of staff) is simply too inconsistent/ poorly trained for the price. Examples include a waitress in the deli being harsh with our 4 year old for sitting in her knees to reach the table, being told to wait 2 minutes for our table but being forgotten for 20 minutes, a room which was much too hot (an resulted in an uncomfortable night) despite having asked for it to be turned down (and told that it had) and promises of things being sorted which weren’t. All left a slightly sour taste.

Beautiful location 5 miles to the north of Chichester. Popular pub with great food and lovely staff. Comfortable accommodation.

Stayed here as was convenient, price is decent, bed comfy, only thing I would recommend is the shower head to be sorted so I can change the direction as I’m a amputee I sit on the shower tray floor it was hard
