The Goodwood Hotel

Hotel in Chichester

8.1

Very Good

From $205

Family Friendly HotelSummary of reviews related to the 'Family' categoryThe Goodwood Hotel is not just a conference center but also a family resort that caters to guests with children. While the hotel offers fantastic activities for kids, some guests have expressed difficulty navigating the stairs or finding enough space in their rooms with little ones. Though the hotel is dog-friendly, some visitors were not fond of the canines in public spaces. On the other hand, the children at the hotel are well catered for with plenty of activities, including swimming lessons in the pool, which some guests found overwhelming due to the number of kids present. Nevertheless, families with children found the hotel to be a perfect break away with rooms big enough to accommodate their furry friends, kids' meals that are perfect for the little ones, as well as a children's pack filled with treats that the kids loved. Overall, The Goodwood Hotel is an excellent choice for a family (plus pet) gathering.

Very Good

From $593

Family Friendly HotelSummary of reviews related to the 'Family' categorySouth Lodge is the perfect family-friendly hotel for those who love spending time with their children and pets. The hotel offers many thoughtful amenities, catering to personalised needs. For instance, bath toys are readily available for younger guests while dog bowls are provided in rooms. The hotel is great for family walks with pets, allowing for a super-relaxing experience. The grounds, especially, make it a perfect spot to bring your dogs along, creating an atmosphere that caters to the entire family. However, some restrictions on family rooms could make it less accommodating for some guests with the lack of bedside tables being an issue. Families wanting to use the swimming facilities might find the one-hour restriction in the morning and evening frustrating, especially during peak periods like half-term. Additionally, families hoping to relax at the spa might find this a hassle as it can get noisy and busy. However, the hotel staff was kind to every guest, both young and old, ensuring that every family enjoyed their stay. And if you have fussy eaters, then Heinz tomato soup on the children's menu is an added bonus. If you're considering booking for a family weekend, then South Lodge is a wonderful choice.

Crowne Plaza Felbridge - Gatwick, an IHG Hotel

Hotel in East Grinstead

Good

From $133

Family Friendly HotelSummary of reviews related to the 'Family' categoryThe Crowne Plaza Felbridge - Gatwick, an IHG Hotel is a great option for a family weekend break. The hotel offers interjoining rooms that are perfect for families with kids. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly with great service even for special dietary requirements. Breakfast buffet was awesome with everything you could want for breakfast and delicious dinner in the evening. The hotel has a pool for the kids, but make sure to check the restricted times. If you have a disability, they have rooms available but be prepared for quite a walk. However, spa booking can be confusing with queries from booking.com and emails. Also, be aware that the pool can be closed due to staff reasons, as happened to one guest. Nonetheless, My family and I enjoyed a very pleasant experience with the hotel and would recommend it for anyone visiting the area with their children, even if you have an elderly relative or newborn.
