The Angel B&B

Nice olde inn in a the lovely town of Midhurst. Room was comfortable & free parking. But at £259 a night B&B you would think the breakfast would be ‘special’. Far from it- there is NO breakfast. The kitchen was closed but this was not mentioned when we booked. They could not even rustle up a sausage. Very disappointing

What a fantastic hotel. The staff, Mott and her sister Nann are extremely attentive and want you to be happy with your stay. We booked just one night as we were attending a funeral locally. We arrived a bit too early so our room wasn't quite ready, but Mott was more than happy to show us to a lovely room that was available. This building is extremely old, so the floorboards do creek a bit but that just adds to the whole quaint and quirkyness of this amazing hotel. Breakfast was continental but there was so much to choose from, we didn't go hungry. Great hotel, lovely staff and excellent location for Midhurst and surrounding areas. Will definately be staying here again.

Fantastic! I've stayed in hotels everywhere I've paid a lot for hotels but this one is awesome. It's daft things like proper pillows. Enough pillows. Cottenham buds. Water by the bed, earplugs just little things make it awesome. I will actually find an excuse to stay here in the future. It has a bar as well. Food next door is brilliant I'll review that to.

The scarcity of accommodation in this locality means that - choose your own metaphor here - you can pay an arm & a leg, or through the nose(bag) to stay in this tired establishment. Earplugs come free with rooms that face the road but no bottled water or flannels, and take a look at the pipe on the bathroom wall that passes for a shower in the "honeymoon suite". Bring your own device if want to stream TV, as their ancient screens only provide Freeview circa 2005. Breakfast was Ok with sausage & bacon sourced from a superior butcher, but given that 1 egg is hard to scramble, it would have been nice to have been offered an option for 2 when fried. Stay here when there's no Polo at Cowdray Park or racing at Goodwood, and there's a small chance that you might feel that you paid for something worthwhile.

We were disappointed to find that our booking had been mistakenly noted as 'lunch'. But the real issue was the inability of the 4 members of staff to offer us and our children an alternative, whether or not to consult 'Sue' (?) or even to apologise to us... In the midst of their confusion they shared that afternoon tea is made a day in advance, so I guess that it might not have been all that fresh anyway. We went to Madeline's Deli instead - superb - separate review.

Yesterday evening was the worst hotel experience we have ever had. We were physically threatened by the owner of the hotel, he threatened to phone the police to have us removed from the hotel (despite it being his misunderstanding!) and what was supposed to be a relaxing night away was completely ruined. I did see a similar review on here about this owner and wish I had listened to it and we never booked here - don’t make the same the mistake! We had booked with the hotel a few weeks ago to use a buyagift voucher with them after viewing the hotel on the buyagift portal. Our booking was confirmed (twice!) but once we arrived and had got keys and checked in, I received an angry call from the owner saying that they don’t accept vouchers, had never accepted vouchers and that we had to leave. He didn’t once listen to me trying to explain the situation and was very aggressive & obnoxious. I should say at this point that the staff on the front desk were very helpful and tried to explain the situation to the owner (who wasn’t on site), but he wouldn’t listen to either of us. After some time we managed to get buyagift to confirm that they would reimburse the hotel for the room, but we were then threatened to have the police called to remove us from the property. I still can’t believe I remained calm as I’m typing this, as we felt completely victimised. We didn’t have anywhere else to stay and by this time it was nearly 7pm (took 3+ hours to resolve) so thankfully the owner actually listened to his staff member and accepted an email was sufficient. The owner had obviously lied to us about never having used vouchers, as it ended up they had a portal with buyagift to log in to collect the payment!! I can only assume this is a tactic they use to try and scare people into paying more money. Either way, it ruined the whole experience- we were on edge the whole time we were there because of the physical threats and were in genuine shock in how we had been treated. Even other guests and the staff who were aware of the situation said how ridiculous the owner was behaving. The unfortunate thing is it’s actually a nice quaint hotel and the front desk staff were really good, just completely let down by the owner. I am writing this review to alert others to the behaviour of the hotel owner, in the sincere hope that this hotel is avoided so nobody else has to go through what we did.
