老荊棘飯店及度假村

Fantastic location and facilities, super friendly staff and an excellent spa/wellness centre

Excellent as always fantastic hotel.

Vast hotel, but immaculate and with really helpful staff. Only downside was that check in was after 4pm and the pool closed at 5pm. Breakfast was plentiful, but not very tasty.

Friendly staff, clean room and good breakfast buffet.

Upon arrival there had been a burst water pipe at the property. They swiftly upgraded us to a beautiful 2 bedroom apartment looking out to the golf course. This was spotlessly clean and very spacious with all amenities. The room was also very quiet. The pool area was clean and well maintained with towels and lockers provided. Overall a wonderful stay in a beautifully clean and well kept hotel with friendly and attentive staff.

Can’t fault anything weather for business or pleasure a great place to stay.

All the staff right across the site were amazing, professional and polite. Breakfast was great (not the scrambled egg) Room was clean, only downfall was the finish of the ceiling with cutout patches, uneven and not painted. We were attending a wedding there, venue was great. A special callout to Jordan, Oscar and Mark who have a great sense of humour and helped make it that little bit more special. We would love to stay again when in the area.

Fantastic Hotel with clean and spacious rooms, friendly staff. An amazing Gym, will definitely stay again

Nice room and stay, no aircon though..

Petit déjeuner

Hot, Hot, Hot. No AC, room view was of the LEV from the kitchen. Spirts bar was noisy with staff do distant they might as well of been serving from Mats

A major disappointment was the lack of air conditioning in the apartments. Even at night they remained in the 30 degree C range. Aside from that, the facility is outstanding and the staff were very helpful. I had a family group of 20 staying, and the Old Thorns staff were excellent including setting up a private dinner for all 20 of us.

I stayed when visiting the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Large car park but virtually full due to golf and leisure users. The room was not cleaned! When I arrived back in the room at 10.00pm it was a bit late to request a clean and bed making as I needed to be up at 05.30. The leisure facilities were not used but seemed very popular. Breakfast was buffet style. Satisfactory. I ate in the sports bar. Typical pub style food. I would stay again but overall not as good as anticipated.

Clean, tidy rooms. Good location for goodwood

Great stay

A lovely hotel, staff and food fabulous. Would of been to have air conditioning in the room. Hottest week and fan did very little to cool us down.

Great stay but HOT! We've stayed at Old Thorns a few times but sadly I won't be staying again during summer. There is no air conditioning in the rooms and the fan provided (had to request it) was quite rubbish. Our room, apart from being hotter than the sun, was great though. Massive bed and lots of room around it. Had a few issues, such as the phone not working to enable us to request a fan, lack of fridge and very dusty/dirty up-lighters. We really enjoyed the pool area and being able to read a book on the loungers.

Upon arrival to the hotel we were immediately impressed by the grounds and the buildings. The car park is big so there is no worry about finding a space in which to park. The Reception staff were very friendly and checked us in without any issue. All staff were helpful and courteous in dealing with us during our stay. Our room was spacious, well equipped with tea /coffee making facilities, an iron and ironing board, hairdryer and a tower fan which came in useful during the warm nights. The bathroom was clean and tidy. There was a decent buffet breakfast with both hot and cold options, and the food was replenished frequently. We visited the Sports Bar for food and drinks whilst the Qatar v Switzerland game was on, service was friendly and fast. We enjoyed a carvery meal on the Sunday evening, again the food was hot, plentiful and delicious! We enjoyed a couple of drinks at the The Deers Hut pub which is about 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Great atmosphere there too. We made use of the swimming pool, which thankfully, was warm. Towels are provided so no need to bring your own. You can get locker keys by swapping your room card. Definitely a place to revisit.

Lovely room, lovely breakfast. A great venue for a birthday trip.
