Highdown Hotel



My wife and I stayed at Highdown Hotel for an anniversary, we booked a table for an evening meal and over night stay in its hotel at the rear of this complex.
Highdown has been many things over the years including a night club and after our experience there we would of preferred the night club.
On arriving things seems all above board we checked in, got shown our room for the night which was pretty average lay out nothing special. We unpacked and went for a stroll around the beautiful gardens just next door. Now these gardens are outstanding and worth the visit if your near the West Sussex Downs (National Park).
After the stroll we rested before the booked evening meal and started to notice the bangs of doors around the hotel section of Highdown but did not think too much of it.
We went for the meal which turned out to be very little option but their poor served up Calvary where the Yorkshire pudding was excessive in size to almost fill your plate leaving little else. So to say we left still hungry was a fair statement but we took a drink back to our room as after all it was our anniversary.


Then the nightmare began as we tried to enjoy our time together all we heard was BANG of one door then BANG of another and we discovered the walls separating one room from it's neighbour was so thin we could hear the TV in the next room as clear as if in our own.
As the night went on this did not ease as voices got louder, more TV's were heard from rooms around and no one from Highdown was on duty you were left to yourself with no evening service.
It got near midnight when it got so unbearable we got dressed, packed and called a local taxi company to take us home.
I must add we sent in official complaint to receive no reply and notice on other sites of more complaints.
So even thou it has wonderful grounds, a near by amazing gardens this place if your thinking of staying over THINK AGAIN.
