The Nags Head

This is a very old pub situated on a busy main road with no double glazing, so there was traffic noise all the time. Being a pub there was obviously noise from the patrons, but not excessively on the days we were there and was quiet by midnight. The breakfasts were good, but the one evening meal we had on the first night ( pasta ) was not so we didn’t eat there again. The rooms are basic but comfortable. Of course, due to the age of the building there was no air con and it did get uncomfortably hot, especially the rooms at the back. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

There is a good menu available in the bar in the evening Breakfast offers a good selection and quality Accommodation very good and comfortable, great nights sleep ,there is parking at the rear ( not sure of arrangements) , we traveled by train a easy walk to the Nags Head under a mile It is close to the main attractions in the city as well as easy road access to the surrounding area The staff and owners are friendly and helpful Could not ask for more

Nice stay, old school room on top of a pub and might have a bit of noise outside of the road but overall good stay, staff went out of the way to provide us breakfast the night before as we left early. Parking can be at the car parks nearby for free for the night...

I was very touched by how friendly and helpful all the staff I met were. The food downstairs was excellent. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the tea station was a welcome addition. The reason for 4 stars is the very loud extraction fans that are installed in the bathrooms. They go on when the light is switched on, and I could hear it all night from the neighbour's bath. My guess the light hasn't been switched off. This was unfortunate and very destressing. I have a similar one at home and it is not half as loud.

Very friendly staff. My room was 2 floors up (28 steps) - not a problem for me, but there was no lift. Great central location, 15 minutes walk from the station, or a 2 stop bus ride. Excellent TV with apps allowing catch up, or watch from start if programme started (nearby chain hotel should take note). Very good breakfast. WiFi a bit flakey at top where I was, but not a real problem (might be if wanting to stream video). Room a bit "tired" but I've seen much worse. I don't think there's private parking, but I was travelling by train, so didn't enquire. Good value.

location was good some noise from pub - air con/ ventilation

I wonder if this was a coaching inn back in the day as it's on the way into the city, but it's just outside the walls and on the end of Stane St, the Roman connection to the world eastwards.So it's an old rambling inn with many rooms in nooks and crannies. Our room was adequate, a twin as I booked late.It has a massive dining room downstairs to feed everyone, which it does in some style. We tasted the bangers and mash, with local sausages. The problem came in the morning when I wanted to leave early and hadn't appreciated that I needed to leave by the fire exit. Luckily someone else was going before breakfast and was in the same predicament. Between us we found the fire exit and noted how difficult it would have been to find this in a panic situation. We got to the room called Chilgrove in a short cul de sac instead of Arundel which was next to the exit. When I asked about this later, someone said I should have had the Fire Exit map in my hand when I tried to leave, but that wasn't happening, as my OH was still in the room, sleeping in until breakfast time. That would have been unsafe for him. I wondered later about the green 'crawl lines' that some properties use.along the floor but was told that it was along the ceiling. Not much use in a smoky fire! Apart from this and being on a main road into town with single glazed windows and boy racers rushing though town, I had a really good stay.

Rooms are good size, neat modern. Tea coffee station well stocked. Staff very friendly and helpful. Pub lovely - spacious, lovely conservatory glass roof over one section of restaurant. Garden out back. Public parking out back - access via garden side. Lovely walking around town on raised Roman walls. Town very pedestrian friendly and good selection of shops Cathedral a must visit.

We loved our overnight here. The pub offered everything we could wish for The room was comfy and clean The only warnings I would give for fellow travellers are: It is a pub on a main road so don’t expect peace The parking is NOT free it is town parking so you will have to pay. It is free from 7pm to 7am but steep cost after these hours

Awesome stay - food was great, as was the beer and staff. Breakfast was tremendous, great room, friendly. Went to the Chichester festival which was very good. No discount on the parking, though, and I had to run out by 8am to top it up. Small inconvenience…

Indoor camping at its worst. Filthy trash bin in toilet. Mould around bathroom tiles, shower screen seal was filthy and did not meet side of bath so excessive water spill to floor. Loud bangs late at night from fire door being used as an entry. Noise from above and below until after midnight. The food was good but that doesn’t make up for a dreadful experience compounded by the false excess charge applied to our bill.

Staff were really good - food good quality pub grub - However total exploitation for Goodwood - I expect a price hike but did expect much better facilities for cost of stay - carpets so dirty - Bathrooms a health hazard - Need to invest in accommodation - Parking is public carpark expensive for daily rate - I wouldn't return or recommend the accommodation without improvement

I stayed at the Nag’s head for a few days as part of a trip to experience RAF history, including the Tangmere aviation museum and the Spitfires.com experiences at Goodwood Aerodrome. An unlikely scenario for a retired American Navy flyer, but amazing none-the-less! I wanted to experience a classic English pub atmosphere and the Nag’s Head delivered. I really enjoyed meeting people in the pub each night while drinking Harvey’s ale. Breakfast was amazing, staff was superb, everything was clean. Location is so perfect for walking the historic city and Roman walls. Loved my experience. Thank you!

Our room was outdated - very worn! Extension cords hidden behind radiators (good thing the radiator was not on!). Shower over bath was slippery (mat provided didn’t help either! Grab rail would have been good!). Bathroom floor needed a good clean in the corners. Curtains were unhooked in places! Location fabulous! Breakfast good!

Staff were excellent and very helpful - breakfasts were plentiful and well presented - the beds were very comfortable, but the general cleanliness of the room and bathroom not so good - also the stairways and landings very untidy and cluttered - giving a very shabby look.

Overall good. Great staff in all areas, good quality and spotlessly clean bed linen and towels. Room ok but bathroom decor needed attention….missing chunks of ceiling coving! Would stay again.

I have stopped here now a several occasions and sadly this has been the worst stay, only by the standard of the bedroom, well mainly the bathroom. The ceiling surround was falling off or had fell off, the sink was leaking into a container in the cupboard which needed emptying. The top of the shower head was covered in a thick layer of dust, which i found this out whilst in the shower adjusting the shower head. In the bedroom area there was spiders webs all around the curtain rails, they clearly has been there for a while.

It is everything you'd expect from a traditional pub stay. There is a charming old bar; a bright, clean restaurant; outdoor seating; the same super friendly staff who serve your tea in the morning, make up your bed in the afternoon, are also pouring you a pint in the evening. When they are not accommodating guests, they're cleaning. The place is spotless. As other reviews have said, the only down side is the single pane glass so you can't avoid the noise from traffic. Pack ear plugs or ask for a fan for white noise. Breakfast is cooked to order, our room was clean and comfortable (much nicer than the photos), dinner was as good as any pub we visited. And equally as important, it was right next to city center, so you can walk everywhere in Chichester.

We enjoyed our stay here. Comfortable, clean room and a good breakfast in the morning. What more do you need?

TV remote had dead batteries, which were promptly changed. TV still didnt switch on; a kind member of catering staff came up, fiddled with the power lead, and that solved the problem. However, all channels produced heavily pixelated feed, TV was unusable. lots of dust, someones lighter onntte window sill, but otherwise ok. The staff was super nice and helpful, i even got a hand with my luggage Breackfast didnt quite have what I wanted (fresh rolls cheese etc) and I didnt have time for full cooked one. I had enough to eat though, was offered a cooued b-fast takeaway. I declined this, but the offer made my heart warm. overall, all the staff members were very good and professional, five stars to them

Good location for exploring Chi and good too for a walk to the theatre which we did. Bed and pillows good. Slight road noise at front of hotel. Nice evening meal pre theatre with pleasant and efficient staff.

Very friendly; comfortable stay. The shower pressure very much let down the stay; it was so poor, that showering was a big effort. Decided to not shower again before leaving, as wasn’t a pleasant experience. We had a front room, noisy (traffic wise).

Very friendly staff. My room was 2 floors up (28 steps) - not a problem for me, but there was no lift. Great central location, 15 minutes walk from the station, or a 2 stop bus ride. Excellent TV with apps allowing catch up, or watch from start if programme started (nearby chain hotel should take note). Very good breakfast.

I don't think there's private parking, but I was travelling by train, so didn't enquire. Good value.

Good breakfast and pleasant staff. Very busy pub with wall-to-wall football screens and general bar drinkers hubbub. Avoid Goodwood room - very small, extremely noisy road outside, especially as window didn’t close properly, no wardrobe for hanging, only coat hooks & only just enough room for two single beds pushed together. Well used bathroom but good shower despite flooding the floor due to poorly designed shower screen. Cracked sink, toilet roll is behind the toilet, black mould. And yet, for the same price, Amberley room was spacious, quiet, modern, fully furnished with a better designed, bigger and updated bathroom. So two of our party were well happy, two were extremely envious!

Nice room and restaurant. Lots of character. Unfortunately we had a room overlooking the main road with no double glazing so we were awake very early this morning with the traffic and also there are no bedside lamps so you have to get out of bed to turn the light off and then hope you don’t walk into the wall! Apart from that, the room was nice and it was a lovely big bath. I would stay again

bit dated, small room, kettle located on windowsill not ideal for safety

Checkin warm and welcoming. Room (Flittleworth twin) - warm, clean, fluffy towels, comfortable, carpet looked new. Needs coat hooks, extension lead on socket, poss some pix to break up the walls. Bathroom - looks newly tiled but sink cracked and taps need replacing. Hot tap on sink was not working properly and dangerously hot. Terrible dribbling shower. Hot water tank room (off bathroom) very noisy. Kitchen extractors outside window very noisy until after closing. Take ear plugs!!! Breakfast - lovely staff and food freshly cooked. Simple but nice selection of fruit, yogurt and cereals. Couldn’t hear the pub downstairs despite it being a Saturday night. Bonus! Overall - would stay again but not in that room.

Great breakfast & room was spacious & clean. Furniture shabby chic but bathroom only had bath & tap shower adaption with no screen or curtain. Road noise woke me early as historic property has no double glazing. If it had a proper shower I would have added a star.

Great staff, very atmospheric place. But it's a Victorian building, so not very sound proof. We heard bot the pub and the street outside quite well, so we're glad the pub closed at 12.

Really nice pub and great food. Centrally located. The room we had allocated seemed one of the smaller rooms available based on the photos and from seeing a friends room they had, which was a shame - Rooms where very clean and updated, bath and panels could do with replacing to match the rest of the bathroom suite. Our room had a double bed but one side was up against the wall and just a small bit of room on the other side making it not easy for accessibility. Breakfast was great and the service from the staff was outstanding. Would stay again but would hope for a larger room.

I had an excellent stay at the Nags Head. A nice little touch was that all the rooms are all named after towns nearby. I had to extend my stay so was given another room for the last night. Both rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable, the first room was a twin with what looked like a newly refurbished bathroom with a good shower over the bath. The second room was a double which was equally as comfortable. The hotel also has free WiFi for those work addicts who stay over. I had breakfast every morning during my stay and was very pleasantly surprised to find a cooked breakfast on offer. We arrived on a Sunday evening, right in the middle of a Sunday Carvery, which we indulged in. The Nags Head is in a good location just off the end of East Street, so 30 secs walk and I was in the middle of town and the shops. I found both the morning and the evening staff all very friendly, helpful and very accommodating. The place itself has a bar down stairs and a large restaurant area as well and the building has plenty of character and also has a heritage award. Would hugely recommend and I would definitely visit again.

I had to cancel for family emergency not getting my money back so poor service

Me and my husband loved our stay here. We were happy we found this property on such short notice. My husband wanted to get away for the weekend before starting his chemotherapy the week after and wanted to do something different and this was just perfect. He feels relaxed and ready to start his treatment. Thanks to all the staff at the nag's head pub you guys made our weekend feel special.

I really enjoyed my stay and they were so helpful. My flight from Scotland got me to Chichester (via Gatwick!) by 9.50am on the day of my arrival and I had an important Zoom meeting at 10. Not only did they let me into the premises they gave me access to my room and I made my meeting exactly on time, even with a coffee and biscuit from my room. Breakfast the next day was excellent as well so no complain, only gratitude.

Great pub in a very good location. Lovely friendly staff. We were greeted by Tom, who helped us with our luggage.

I found the staff very helpful and supportive to the questions I had. They provided an excellent service, a comfortable room and a super breakfast.

Comfy room, slightly noisy as it was Xmas parties. Great breakfasts, particularly the smoked haddock. Polite, friendly staff who kindly posted my accidentally left behind pyjamas home. They arrived here in Falmouth before I did! Thank you & Merry Christmas!

I always stay here when I'm in Chichester, as it's ideal! Perfect location, really friendly, kind & helpful staff members, super comfy bed and a cracking breakfast!

The team were really helpful and attentive, the room exceeded my expectations and the breakfast was really good. Booking again for next week's business trip, much better than branded hotels fitter me!

Good location for exploring Chi and good too for a walk to the theatre which we did. Bed and pillows good. Slight road noise at front of hotel. Nice evening meal pre theatre with pleasant and efficient staff.

Friendly and helpful staff. Good location - near the centre of Chichester, easy to get to station and buses.

Fab stay! Great location for Christmas shopping! Super friendly attentive staff and lovely room! Busy pub with restaurant,great vibes and a fantastic carvery. Breakfast which was included in the price,was delicious,with a choice of cereals,yogurt and fruit and also a variety of cooked dishes! Would definitely recommend a stay here and I hope to return again! Thank you!

The convenience to the town centre & staff were really friendly

Not the most modern room but a comfortable bed, good shower and tea/coffee in your room. Great location, super nice staff and low room price. Plus a really good breakfast included. Can’t go wrong!

Great location steps from main shopping area, breakfast all freshly made. Would recommend booking evening meal before visiting as get booked up.

We had an 8.30am appointment at Chichester Hospital on Tuesday 9th, so this hotel was very conveniently situated for getting to the hospital early and we were able to have a light breakfast before we left.

I was made to feel very welcome, my room had all I required and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent. The Nags Head is ideally placed to explore Chichester and the staff gave me plenty of useful advice about best value parking. Highly recommended

Rooms are good size, neat modern. Tea coffee station well stocked. Staff very friendly and helpful. Pub lovely - spacious, lovely conservatory glass roof over one section of restaurant. Garden out back. Public parking out back - access via garden side. Lovely walking around town on raised Roman walls. Town very pedestrian friendly and good selection of shops Cathedral a must visit.

Great location

Breakfast was fantastic with lots of options. Staff were happy to look after my bag on check out day.

Good service & the breakfast was excellent!

Great breakfast , even better Sunday carvery

Room was pretty tired, door barely opened and it took a few minutes fumbling the key to get in. Also this is the first time I have ever been served instant coffee at breakfast in the morning, which is pretty poor!

The breakfast (full English)!was worthy of the Ritz. Beautifully presented, clearly prepared With a minimum of oil, all the ingredients of a great breakfast and a very satisfying meal. Top marks.

Comfy room, slightly noisy as it was Xmas parties. Great breakfasts, particularly the smoked haddock. Polite, friendly staff who kindly posted my accidentally left behind pyjamas home. They arrived here in Falmouth before I did! Thank you & Merry Christmas!

Great pub and restaurant with a large outside area. Great food and we enjoyed our evening dinners outside. Our double bedroom had all we needed. The breakfast is not the best, but good enough considering it was included in the price. In general, we had a great time there after our sunny times in Wittering and I’d recommend it.

Excellent service. They went beyond the call of duty when I asked for ice for an event my daughter was helping organise at the cinema just 100 yards or so away. The answer was would a bin liner full be enough! Fantastic food and A class breakfast. Only downside is no black pudding!

Awesome stay - food was great, as was the beer and staff. Breakfast was tremendous, great room, friendly. Went to the Chichester festival which was very good. No discount on the parking, though, and I had to run out by 8am to top it up. Small inconvenience…
