The Highdown Hotel is situated on a hill around 1 mile from Goring-by-Sea Rail station. Unfortunatley mainline trains only stop at Worthing some 6 miles distant and it is necessary to 'go back' on a local service. However this minor inconvenience is more than compensated for when you arrive at the Hotel. The Highdown Hotel caters for all but is perfect for couples wanting to 'get away from it all.' It has a charming 1920's Manor House feel and is situated right on the downs for long walks with spectacular sea views and very good facilities including a seperate tea room outside and an indoor childrens playzone. Behind the hotel are the immaculate Highdown gardens laid down by original owner of the property - open free to the public. Our one-night stay meant we could only eat breakfast at the Hotel and it was without doubt the best we've had in a UK hotel. They also offer carvery meals in the evenings and we were extremely disappointed that we had to be elswhere and could not sample the reasonably priced menu. I cannot recommend the hotel highly enough and it put other hotels we have tried to shame which have been at best average and more expensive. We will be going back soon!!!

rooms very nice, clean etc but as for the food we were really disappointed, the carvery was almost unedible with regards to the meat, the beef was tough as old boots, i have eaten in their restaurant before on their valentine special which was excellent food, maybe they have new chef, but otherwise hotel rooms very nice.

twenty six of booked the whole hotel and we had a xmas dinner dance for forty people in the private function suite. All the rooms were ensuite, clean and very comfortable. The four poster bedroom was especially nice. We had an excellent evening meal with entertainment and all the staff were very efficient and friendly. The highdown hotel has a lot to offer for everyone, charming quaintness, situated right on the downs for country walks, spectacular sea views and very good facilities with a indoor childrens playzone that i wished i was 5 years old again. I can only highly recommend to all that they give this hotel a try as it made a nice change from some other hotels we have tried which been average to awfull !!
