Lovely quiet pub.

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.

Friendly and well located pub

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.
