Find the Cheap Arun District Hotels

We only had a short one night stay in this hotel but were impressed by the hotel and staff. Our stay was at the start of England’s second lockdown so there were several queries we made with the hotel via messages. before arriving. The replies were prompt, helpful and friendly. We stayed in the Ginerva room and found the bed very comfortable. The bathroom was modern and spotless. It was very quiet and we got a good night sleep. The lady who welcomed us at breakfast was lovely and made us feel very comfortable. We chose the cooked breakfast and it was cooked to perfection using locally sourced ingredients. This is definitely a hotel e would recommend to others. It’s location is semi rural with easy commute to other areas of Sussex.

We stopped off at the Coach and Horses with some friends for a one night stay whilst on a short road trip. We had visited Bognor Regis earlier in the day and so arrived at the hotel late afternoon. The hotel is part of the Coach and Horses public house and is easy to find located on the A27. We drove here and there was plenty of (free) parking for patrons. We checked in, in the bar area of the public house and met the owner who seemed very friendly and helpful and after being allocated our rooms we moved to the adjacent (separate) accommodation building which is of much newer construction. Entrance to this building requires a room pass key giving a good level of security. The interior is very clean and contemporary in its decoration, our rooms were located on the first floor and this is reached by a flight of stairs. Our room was a good size, very clean and decorated with light brown walls with a darker brown feature wall behind the bed and a shining white ceiling and windows looking out over the green fields at the rear of the property. The room was furnished with an ornate wooden double bed with bedside cabinets, a table and two chairs, a dressing table with mirror, wardrobe and flat screen TV. A small chest of drawers was also available and complimentary tea and coffee facilities were provided. The room had free Wifi. The bathroom was all tiled and had a bath and shower, basin and toilet and ‘built in’ hair dryer. There was a ledge above the sink giving lots of space for our own toiletries and a heated towel rail, which is always welcome. An electric shaver socket was provided and a small collection of complimentary toiletries were also provided. Everything about the room looked relatively new being both clean and well maintained, it was very welcoming. Being at the rear of the property, there was minimal road noise from the busy A27 and we slept well that night with the windows ajar. Our host was welcoming enough, quite friendly and helpful really and later that evening we dined in the public house (subject of another review), after having an early evening walk along Worthing seafront. We thoroughly enjoyed our (short) stay at the Coach & Horses and would most certainly consider a return visit if we were in need of accommodation in this area. We would not hesitate to recommend this to others.

The fire alarm activated on Wednesday evening and early Thursday morning (0610). On both occasions I went to the reception to try to get a status update. On both occasions the reception was unmanned but I could see from the public side of the reception desk that the Fire Alarm panel was showing an alarm activation. All fire doors were in the closed position, having been automatically closed once the fire alarm had activated. On both occasions when the manager returned to the reception desk they confirmed that it was a false alarm activated by someone using the shower in one of the rooms. The fire detection system does not appear to be fit for purpose if it falsely activated when someone takes a shower. The manager I spoke with today following the 2nd activation said that they had spoken to a guest and told him to make sure the windows in his room were open if he took a shower. We won’t be staying at this accommodation in the future due to the level of disruption experienced during our stay, together with my concerns over the fire detection system. This is disappointing as the accommodation, although basic, was very clean and reasonably priced.
