Detailed Reviews
My wife and I stayed one night thankfully. Whilst the bedroom was adequate there are a few missing basics like a box of tissues and a hairdryer we had issues with the bed and bedding. I need three pillows in order to sleep as I have a back problem. When I asked the staff for another - there were two on either side of the double bed, all well used and as flat as a pancake - another one couldn't be provided! I was given a cushion however which I put under the pillows. However, the biggest problem was the mattress. This relates to room 4 so I can't speak of the other rooms. The mattress was out of the Ark and was so uncomfortable neither my wife nor I could find anywhere to get comfortable. The springs and the metal framework were bearly concealed by the mattress cover fabric. Consequently, anything resembling sleep was impossible. I suggested to the staff in the morning that the mattress should be in the skip before any other poor should have to endure what we had to.
Redemption came about in the form of a most excellent breakfast. We had some trepidations beforehand but it was probably one of the best pub/hotel breakfasts we have had in a long while. the service was quick, and the quality and quantity were excellent. We did congratulate the chef for this meal as we felt it deserved a comment.
The only other negative was that the cleaner decided to wash and vacuum the floors in the bar area ( adjacent to the restaurant and on an open plan basis) which was a little offputting with the vacuum noise and the smell of bleach whilst eating.

We must have had the smallest room - ever. Would be too small for one person let alone two. No hanging space - nothing. But it was clean enough. 3 days was about the limit for the room.
Even with the covid rules based nonsense the staff managed to be smily and poilite. breakfast was nice and food too. Location is quiet and if it is too quiet the pub closes early. We used as a base for Goodwood and the Witterings.

Two night stay in a very small room
The room over looked another bedroom no modesty curtains
No where to hang wet towels clothes in bathroom
Room had an ironing board but no iron . Very odd
Beds very well used
Breakfast ok but please wipe clean the menus.ours had old baked beans on the back of it
Table in the dinning room sticky from over varnishing
Therefore napkins stuck to the tables.
few tweaks could be better

We will never stay here again. Extremely distressing end to our stay. Ruined the trip completely. There is no check out system at this pub. The cleaners have keys to your rooms and will enter and clear out your belongings without checking whether you have left the premises. They are unprofessional and rude to customers.
I booked two rooms for one night. The booking was made by phone and the payment taken over the phone. There were no confirmation details sent or given. On arrival we were shown to our rooms, told that breakfast was not served at the pub but could go to a nice cafe nearby. No mention of check-out time, and I didn’t think to ask. The pub doesn’t open until 11.00am so assumed that would be the check out time.
Whilst having breakfast nearby the following morning, the receptionist called me at 10.20am to say the cleaners were in the rooms asking about our belongings! She told me the check out was at 10.00am, so I asked if 11.00am would be possible? She said yes.
We returned to our rooms around 10.40 to find the cleaner had cleared out the rooms, changed bedding etc and gathered all my belongings, makeup, shoes, clothes, toiletries etc and bundled everything randomly into my two bags. With dirty outdoor shoes thrown on top of clean clothes. She had even dismantled my stand up makeup mirror! I was extremely distressed at all of this, and it completely ruined my day. She still attempted to walk into the room claiming rudely that check out was at 10.00am! Who is in charge here, the cleaners!? Regardless of checkout time, the cleaners have no right to enter the room until our keys have been handed to reception. And no right to touch and pack away personal belonging! Besides it had been agreed we could stay until 11.00am. There was no apology, and despite emailing the company a month ago, still no reply!

After looking on the website this accommodation looked lovely, however when I arrived was very disappointed. The first room we was given was very small , looked over the car park and the glasses and cups had lipstick stains and tea stains in the cup. They kindly moved us to another room overlooking the green at the front, however this room was tired looking and the shower needed some TLC. Dinner and Breakfast were average. I will not be going back.

Just reopened, after the lock down and a complete refurbishment, we were delighted with the friendly and efficient service of Chloe and her colleagues. Popular with locals and visitors, the Robin Hood has a cosy bar, a more spacious restaurant and a terrace overlooking the green. We ate fresh asparagus and local fish. Best to book.

Stayed 2 nights last month in room overlooking the front beer garden. It was a very small depressing room with no wardrobe and a large window which would not stay open. We had to ask for something to stick under it and an old block of wood supplied. The bedroom and bathroom had lots of chipped paint and curtains in the bathroom blowing over/onto the toilet. The hot tap was loose and swivelled when attempting to put it on. The bedside lights did not give enough light to read a book so had to use a torch instead. Water glasses dirty on arrival. Only redeeming feature of our stay was an OK breakfast.

We booked the Robin Hood for a birthday/father's day celebration with a party of 13 on a Sunday afternoon.
Our party wasn't simple including vegetarians, vegans and various other complications but the staff and kitchen were great and really helpful. All the food was lovely, with most of the menu options tried, and with plenty of fresh vegetables brought to the table.
A thoroughly enjoyable meal and experience for everyone in a good environment.

We stayed here as a 1 night get away for our wedding anniversary. The location of the Robin Hood is very quiet and tranquil opposite the green. Room was very clean and modern with a decent double bed and shower etc. The food here is top quality with a great variety along with a good selection of real ales and wines. Hospitality 10/10 also, couldn’t do enough for you. Will definitely recommend to others.
