Spent two nights at the Royal Oak at £190 per night B&B. Food and service was lovely but in our room (Room 1) we could hear the conversation (and snoring and music) of guests through the walls, which led to two miserable nights sleep, even with ear plugs. The other guests were not noisy but the sound proofing between the... More

Every couple of months we travel from Oxford to visit my elderly mother in Chichester.As a result, we've tried a lot of the eating places in the area. The others have been good, but this place is excellent! We now come here every time. Why? The parking is easy with a small (free) car park just opposite. The interior decor... More

This was our second stay at The Royal Oak and it was just as good as the last if not better. This time we stayed in Flint Cottage (Room 3) which is just so cute and lovely and well appointed with everything you need. Being at The Royal Oak is just so charming and relaxing. The staff are all really... More

Whilst the Royal Oak is in a great countryside location, lovely in appearance and offers a sumptuous menu, the lack of attention to detail and overly relaxed customer service during our stay left us with a a much less relaxing and luxurious trip than we had hoped for. The welcome The taxi they supposedly booked for us did not turn... More

We are always happy to accept constructive criticism from clients and welcome the opportunity to improve our service. Unfortunately, SJW seems to have forgotten that a) they were staying at an Inn which has no dedicated concierge and b) to say that everything was put right within moments of being reported. We are, however, pleased that the food was very... More

Just had a lovely night here with some girlfriends to celebrate a special birthday. We stayed in Mulberry Cottage and it was just so perfect! It was reasonably priced (given that we were sharing the cost of our one night stay between four) and perfectly private for some girlie gossip and catch up time. We arrived and ordered afternoon tea... More

My wife and I stayed on a Monday night and it was probably quieter than usual, as we always ask or a quiet room that was fine. We had dinner for four of us and the food, wine and service were excellent, as was the breakfast the following morning. The room was very well appointed, clean and had a comfortable... More

This was a gift from our daughter and son-in-law to celebrate our wedding anniversary. On arrival, we were informed that our dinner reservation hadn't been entered into their system - I booked this three weeks ago by telephone. In the event they found us a table. It was obvious on arrival at our room that it hadn't been vacuumed and... More

And a special mention for the service in the restaurant, couldn't fault. A different experience otherwise with some errors that were easily avoided. We arrived one hour after requested check... More

We stayed for one night here after a last minute chase around the internet and got a very good reduced price room. The service however was of an excellent standard and we couldnt fault it. The lady who checked us in and subsequently looked after us for the dinner, breakfast and checkout was an example to anyone wishing to learn... More

We stayed in the best room I guess, so it was likely to be a pleasant stay. We did think some of the other rooms were rather dark and pokey. This room was large with a good size en-suite bathroom with shower over. The two rooms take up the whole of the south facing first floor so very bright too.... More
