Across reviews of The Elmer, guests consistently praise the exceptionally friendly, accommodating staff and the tasty, freshly cooked food, especially breakfast, while noting this is a lively pub setting that can bring noise from the bar at night.
Rooms are generally comfortable and of decent size, with occasional comments about temperature and minor wear in places. Cleanliness is usually rated highly, and several find it good value. The location appeals for walks to the beach and access to Goodwood, making it handy for short stays. Overall, it suits travellers seeking a relaxed village base near the coast.

We chose the Elmer as it was convenient for a 'get together' with people we had not seen for a long time. The meal we had was very good and the staff were very pleasant, in fact all the staff were very nice and made us feel welcome, so we had a great time. The room was a bit 'faded' but everything was clean and tidy and the room was warm. Two issues, the first was the lighting in the corridor that only illuminated when you got near the sensor, that was a bit off putting, the second was the step from the landing on to the stair. Although marked with a white band was a little tricky when holding a bag and could be an issue for some people. The front bar seemed to be full of local characters and a noisy game of pool. Well it is a pub so expected. So that's it, our review of the Elmer. We will stay there again.

They say that the heart of a village is its local pub. The Elmer is a wonderful establishment in all facets, pub, restaurant, hotel room. The team at the Elmer to a man/women were incredibly friendly and helpful, nothing was too much. It is a dog friendly pub and they treated our dog as a VIP. The food is wonderful. Fresh ingredients and delicious and the breakfast cooked fresh and one of the best we have ever sampled. Thank you so much for your hospitality and kindness. We will be returning for sure.

I'm looking to relocate to the area so a few days at the Elmer was perfect for me to get a feel for the place. I stayed in the twin room which was a good size with storage and a lovely shower room. Plenty of safe car parking available at the back. The Elmer was clean and fresh, with tea/ coffee making facilities and TV in my room. Comfortable and quiet. Great value for money, lovely friendly staff, and a 5 minute walk to the beach. There's a convenience store right next door, which was handy for bits and pieces. I'll definitely be coming back and staying here. Special thanks to Wayne, Rachel and Angela who made me feel really welcome.

The Elmer is a very unassuming pub/restaurant and hotel with the most amazing staff who produce a fantastic atmosphere. We stayed for two nights and hadn't booked in advance to eat either night - both Friday and Saturday were very busy, an engagement party on the Friday and a Charity Race Evening on the Saturday. We were fitted in both nights with no issue at all. The Elmer is clearly the hub of the community, the staff knew everybody by name. Our room was clean and comfortable with an ensuite shower and perfect for a short stay. Breakfast is cooked fresh to order, our only comment being that we wished it had started earlier - but we didn't waste that time waiting, we went for a lovely walk along the beach first which is just a stone's throw away. We would definitely return to The Elmer and recommend it too.

We absolutely love the Elmer. We have stayed before and as previously, we were treated wonderfully by everyone. It’s a dog friendly pub & all the team spoilt out dog rotten, and he enjoyed the stay more than us. The room is clean and functional but the food & especially the breakfast nothing short of magnificent. Fresh and local produce making for a delicious meal. Elmer is a beautiful village and the pub is at the heart of the village. The Elmer is a credit to the village. We will certainly be back.

The staff were really helpful and friendly, even accommodating our family for breakfast that were not staying at the hotel. A couple of things I feel needed mentioning, we were in room 5, the room was not very warm (quite cool in fact), Great hot water for bath, Bed was really hard and uncomfortable (sheets were lovely and soft), TV remote did not work and there was no milk for tea.

The beach is in walking distance we had a really lovely walk along the coast. We'd definitely recommend The Elmer and happily return again.

The beach is in walking distance we had a really lovely walk along the coast. We'd definitely recommend The Elmer and happily return again.
This was a return visit to The Elmer - the staff are amazing, so friendly and helpful, they are the reason to stay here - nothing is too much trouble. We had a very enjoyable dinner and breakfast the following morning. The weather was very hot and a member of staff went out of her way to find us a second fan for the room.

This is a lovely & friendly pub/restaurant. Nothing is too much for the stall to help with anything. Food is very tasty & fresh. They allow dogs too. Will definitely stay again!! Lovely walks & right near the sea.

I'm looking to relocate to the area so a few days at the Elmer was perfect for me to get a feel for the place. I stayed in the twin room which was a good size with storage and a lovely shower room. Plenty of safe car parking available at the back. The Elmer was clean and fresh, with tea/ coffee making facilities and TV in my room. Comfortable and quiet. Great value for money, lovely friendly staff, and a 5 minute walk to the beach. There's a convenience store right next door, which was handy for bits and pieces. I'll definitely be coming back and staying here. Special thanks to Wayne, Rachel and Angela who made me feel really welcome.

The Elmer is a very unassuming pub/restaurant and hotel with the most amazing staff who produce a fantastic atmosphere. We stayed for two nights and hadn't booked in advance to eat either night - both Friday and Saturday were very busy, an engagement party on the Friday and a Charity Race Evening on the Saturday. We were fitted in both nights with no issue at all. The Elmer is clearly the hub of the community, the staff knew everybody by name. Our room was clean and comfortable with an ensuite shower and perfect for a short stay. Breakfast is cooked fresh to order, our only comment being that we wished it had started earlier - but we didn't waste that time waiting, we went for a lovely walk along the beach first which is just a stone's throw away. We would definitely return to The Elmer and recommend it too.

Dining
Food earns strong praise for quality, freshness and generous, cooked-to-order breakfasts; several also enjoyed dinners and a broad menu. One review reported a disappointing dish, but this was not a common theme.

I defy anyone to find friendlier staff than those at The Elmer - nothing is too much trouble and you are made to feel welcome from the minute you step through the door. The food in the restaurant is really good - particularly useful to know as there's nowhere else nearby to eat! We had a wonderful walk along the beach before dinner. Our only 'gripe' is that the towels in the bathroom are very small - and this is a very minor moan. Highly recommend The Elmer - this is a return visit for us and, hopefully, not the last one either!

We absolutely love the Elmer. We have stayed before and as previously, we were treated wonderfully by everyone. It’s a dog friendly pub & all the team spoilt out dog rotten, and he enjoyed the stay more than us. The room is clean and functional but the food & especially the breakfast nothing short of magnificent. Fresh and local produce making for a delicious meal. Elmer is a beautiful village and the pub is at the heart of the village. The Elmer is a credit to the village. We will certainly be back.

The staff were really helpful and friendly, even accommodating our family for breakfast that were not staying at the hotel. A couple of things I feel needed mentioning, we were in room 5, the room was not very warm (quite cool in fact), Great hot water for bath, Bed was really hard and uncomfortable (sheets were lovely and soft), TV remote did not work and there was no milk for tea.
