    It did the job. It was a necessary evil to stay there as we attended a wedding.

    The mattress was a bit concave and there were loud lorries and motorbikes speeding past all hours of the night. I had a disturbed sleep. The road was literally parallel and feet away from the building. The breakfast was mediocre. I’ve had so much better. The quality of the vegetarian sausages could have been better. They were greasy.

    very pretty, spacious and clean.

    The breakfast in the adjoining Clubhouse was very disappointing, with thick ham being substituted for bacon, which was unacceptable. The room was right by the road and was very noisy. And at over £150 a night, it was very poor value for what was on offer. I won't be staying there again and won't be recommending it to others.

    The room was comfortable and clean, as was the adjoining bathroom.

    A nice enough place to stay for the price but pack earplugs.

    • Couple
    • Deluxe Suite
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The position of the lodge building is literally right up alongside the main road. We stayed during a very hot July and so needed to have the windows open throughout. (A fan was provided but the room didn't have air conditioning so we did need the windows open.) We found the road noise disruptive to sleep and also to just being in the room. We did close the windows early one morning but we found the road noise was still obvious (albeit less so with earplugs). Its worth noting the clubhouse closed at 6:00pm during our stay, so there wasn't really anywhere to go to spend time/have a drink in the evening. Midhurst town was probably around 20-30 min walk across the Cowdray park, which was a nice walk, but not something you really want to do when you've already walked 15 or so miles during the day! The Polo Suite had basic tea and coffee facilities, but given the clubhouse closes so early, I think these in-room facilities need to be improved, i.e. a nice coffee machine, a fridge with fresh milk and some plates to have a snack on in the evening etc. The cooked breakfast element was very good,but the other bits to breakfast (i.e. cereals, juices) were quite basic. We don't remember seeing any fruit or pastries. The room was clean, tidy and tastefully decorated, however was starting to look a bit tired in places.

    We stayed in the polo suite of The Cowdray Lodge. This comprised of a bedroom, en suite bathroom and seperate lounge, all of which were good size and were clean. We liked the view over the polo pitches and Cowdray ruins. The cooked breakfast element of the breakfast offer was very good.

    The key box facility didn’t work then the key we was given from bar staff didn’t work eventually all was resolved lucky there was a member of staff on hand otherwise we would have been a bit stuck !! The room was not the best the carpet was very stained and the bed was very uncomfortable felt broken also silly things like a complimentary biscuit for one when there is two staying and noisy knocking pipes! This is a different room to what we normally have so was disappointed!

    Breakfast is good although as we have been visiting for several years it obviously has changed ie location of breakfast was busier than usual due to golfing group’s normally on previous the hotel side is separated in another room also less choice of breakfast than before.

    No staff to discuss minor issues with. What staff that were around in the golf club/cleaning team were friendly but ultimately not able to help. Traffic noise from the road.

    Amazing location. Clean rooms and ok breakfast. Location definitely the highlight - nice touches with running/walking maps provided.

    The number given to us for access to our lodge was incorrect, and we had to find someone to let us in, eventually. The room was very comfortable and very clean, but after the recent heatwave, and a very warm evening, we thought that the duvets provided were winter ones, and too hot to use. We slept on top of the bed, and when it got a little cool in the early morning, we had no option but to go under the duvet which was not at all pleasant. Surely a sheet could have been provided instead of the winter duvet. Also, in the bathroom there were no curtains to be able to use the shower, which was a little disappointing to say the least.

    long walk to get any food, local pub stopped serving at 8, like most and petrol station the same. went to breakfast, lovely facilities, but sat for 30mins trying to get attention (think they had all just turned up and not interested - as if they hadn’t started yet) took nearly an hour to get through breakfast (which was fantastic). skip breakfast if you want an early start or fast exit. (once staff engaged - all fine, just took forever to get going)

    clean, fresh, nice location

    The main problem is that the bedroom is extremely noisy; it is on the main road between Petworth and Midhurst and we were woken at around 5 am with the constant traffic.

    It was like a mini cottage but without a kitchen.

    The cooked breakfast could have been better. Sausage was dry and scrambled eggs a little over done

    The accommodation was set in a quiet, very scenic location accessible to most places. Staff were friendly and efficient. I liked the key box check in facility as this gave us more freedom and privacy with stay.

    Some noise from cars, earlyish check out, no dairy alternatives for tea (in room), lights in the hall stay on all night so door lets light through and easy to listen to (very loud) TV sounds (this was fixed by closing the bathroom door)

    The shower water comes out onto the floor. The breakfast space feels very sterile.

    We stayed in the Polo Suite. I was a bit worried as it's road side but actually we weren't disturbed at all. The bed was lovely and comfortable (my husband is 6 ft 4) and the lounge looked lovely but we didn't use it. A great space for a family of four if we decided to bring the children back next time. Breakfast was lovely and the views over the polo field and to the ruins are stunning.
