I have just returned from very brief stay at The Chatsworth Hotel Worthing and have to say that I was amazed!

I booked over the internett, through an agent and it cost me £81.00 for a twin room (with a cot) for 1 night, including breakfast.

From the moment I made contact with the Chatsworth Hotel (from the train station asking for directions) they bent over backwards to help.

Upon arrival we were able to check into our room early (2 hours early) as we had travelled with a baby. Equally we requested a late check out and this was no problem, thanks to the helpful staff.

A cot was supplied and this was a good as new and very clean. Great care was taken to provide the baby with cot sized linen beautiful folded and done to demonstrate their consideration for even the smallest of their customers.

From our room we could see the sea, admittedly I had to turn my head 45 degrees but I was unaware that the hotel was so close to the sea and that I was able to see the sea from our room. So this was another bonus.The hotel was close to all the other amenities ie shops and restaurants.

We had room service bring our breakfast to our room (this incurred a small charge) but we were informed of this when making the arrangement, so no hidden cost there.

The breakfast arrived on time and consisted of a good quality sausages, bacon (well coked and not burnt), a fresh egg that was perfectly cooked and still warm, with fresh grilled tomatoes and mushrooms. Nothing out of a tin there. The toast was brown, warm and plentiful with real butter and lots of marmalade or jam. So an amazing ten out of ten there! I have to say I am not easily please and was amazed that even I could not find fault (as was my daughter who is very used to my complaining). For the baby they did a special order of scrambled egg with white bread. The same care was demonstrated once more and there help and ‘product’ once more was faultless.

The hotel itself was clean and adequate with good facilities for a 3*.

I was impressed to observe, when using the toilets off the bar/restaurant area, that there was a disabled toilet and a baby changing area!

So if you want small friendly, not expensive, very helpful staff who really do try and look after you GO THERE.
