Top South Downs Planetarium and Science Centre Hotel Reviews

The Cottage

8/10 Good

"We were very comfortable and happy with our stay. Parking was assigned to us directly outside the house. The accommodation is on a very busy road, but walkable into the city."

Northlands Farm & Lakes

10/10 Excellent

"Brilliant place to stay, being able to walk around and meet to the donkeys, alpacas and the goats was great for the kids. A very pet friendly property and I can’t wait to return and stay again"

The Chichester Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great place to stay. Staff couldn't be more helpful."

The Bulls Head

10/10 Excellent

"The room was basic but very comfortable with a lovely shower room. Thoughtful extra touches such as a toothbrush beaker. Hospitality tray well stocked. Breakfast was pre-ordered freshly cooked using local produce. But what really makes the Bulls Head is the staff. Always friendly helpful and cheerful. The door of our room was sticking to the point that I had to ask staff to help closing/locking it. Which they did promptly and with a smile. But this was obviously a temporary problem which will have been fixed by now."

Little Orchard Bed and Breakfast Chichester

8/10 Good

"This property is in an excellent location for Chichester centre and for Goodwood Racecourse. The owner was lovely. Friendly and approachable. Cleanliness is a priority for us and this accommodation was first class. Breakfast options were varied to suit all tastes and we loved the fresh fruit (not always the case in many places we have visited). It was a relaxing environment to start the day, especially chatting about Art. We have learned so much about Sculpture and certain Sculptors after our visit! 😂. The only thing to mention for future visitors is the lack of a fan in the room (we had a spacious luxury room overlooking the back garden). Due to the heatwave, it was quite unbearable during our 4 night stay despite having taken our own small fan. We would never book anywhere abroad without air conditioning and sadly, Uk is now facing such extreme temps."

Travelodge Chichester Central

8/10 Good

"central location, close to amenities ; friendly, helpful staff"
