At The Selsey Arms, travellers consistently praise the friendly, accommodating staff, comfortable and generally spacious rooms, and very good food—especially generous breakfasts—alongside a convenient countryside location near Chichester with ample parking and a relaxed pub atmosphere.
Reviews commonly describe rooms as quiet despite the nearby road. Cleanliness is widely commended, with a few notes about bathroom upkeep and a one-off complaint about breakfast crockery and temperature. A couple of guests mention creaky floorboards causing noise from rooms above. Overall, a straightforward country-pub base suited to short stays in the area.

Stayed here one night as I was attending a wedding down the road at Farbridge. The property, room and facilities were all lovely. Comfy bed, nice fluffy towels and the room had everything you could need. Plenty of parking and nice garden. The staff were welcoming, including Ruby the dog, and the breakfast was amazing! And very nice to have my gluten intolerance accommodated for at breakfast too. My only slight negative is the price but it was perfect location and only a 20 min walk to the venue (3 min drive).

Pleasant two night stay at a comfortable and friendly pub. We only ate breakfast at the property but this was excellent and with friendly service. Very convenient for Chichester - 10 minute drive to the large car park by the Festival Theatre. Traffic noise from the road was not noticeable as the rooms are set back from the main road behind the main building. The pub is opposite the Centurion Way - a footpath along the old railway line between Chichester and Midhurst.

We were tended to by courteous, pleasant staff. We did not require breakfast and the management reduced our bill taking this into consideration. The bedroom was spotless and very comfortable. It was a peaceful night which was undisturbed. The only possible thing missing was that no shower cap was provided! :-)

This was a lovely surprise. Stayed one night for a family wedding nearby, having driven past the pub hundreds of times through many different incarnations. The rooms were super clean, looked brand new and had everything we needed, the service was great and the breakfast hit the spot. It's a proper lovely traditional country pub.

Appreciative of having large bath sheets rather than smaller bath towels. Delicious breakfast with plenty of choice, and well presented. We ate dinner there too and that was equally delicious. Excellent service from all staff. Please note that The Selsey Arms is not in Lavant but in West Dean!

Pleasant two night stay at a comfortable and friendly pub. We only ate breakfast at the property but this was excellent and with friendly service. Very convenient for Chichester - 10 minute drive to the large car park by the Festival Theatre. Traffic noise from the road was not noticeable as the rooms are set back from the main road behind the main building. The pub is opposite the Centurion Way - a footpath along the old railway line between Chichester and Midhurst.

We chose the Selsey Inn for it’s location adjacent the Centurion Way and because breakfast was included. The staff were very welcoming and the room was comfy. The food was excellent and the portions were generous. The pub itself was quiet, we were there Thursday and Friday. The only downside was the floor of the room above Room 3 was very creaky.

Second time staying, and I imagine we'll be back again. The room was comfortable and well equipped. The surroundings are beautiful. And the food was excellent. We had breakfast and dinner twice and very impressed.

All in all, the visit and stay at the Selsey Arms was a lot better than I anticipated, given the price range. The rooms, staff, and dining experience was again above expectations. I would certainly recommend this as a go to when looking for a stay down in the Chichester area. Handy for the local open air museum, Good Wood, and also Tangmere Air museum.

Comfortable bed and easy access. Lovely bedroom and well appointed room, the shower wasn’t amazing but everything was clean. Friendly staff and lovely breakfast included in the price. Perfect if you’re in the area for a wedding (2mins drive from Farbridge) or if you’re there for any other reason.
