Good Points: The Bacon at Breakfast
Bad Points: The evening meal, no toast or bread at breakfast,the noisy rooms, the state of the actual pub.
Further Comments: The rooms are basic, but are well kept and clean,but noise from adjoining rooms until 5.00.am is not right, some people were leaving and rooms at all hours(not to catch early flights) The pub itself was run down, just seamed to be untidy and unkept, The evening meal was mixed, not the full range of the menu,and you had to order from the bar. Our party of 6 was the only customers in the dining end of the bar. Breakfast was good except no toast, they had run out of bread. Staff all tried hard but did not seam to have a leader.

Good Points: Comfy bed and a good shower
Bad Points: small and basic. We were also next to the enterance which was very noisy especially in the early hours. Earlier start for Breakfast would have been nice.
Further Comments: All We needed was a room to change, wash and sleep, which it did. I was informed that the hotel was near to where the wedding was, which unfortunatley was not the case.

Good Points: It was spacious and warm
Bad Points: I did not like the code for the door which was virtually impossible to see at night

Further Comments: I would have liked to have known that breakfast on a Sun is only served 9 - 10 . This was not on the website, and as we needed to leave earlier than this we left with no breakfast. At the time we asked if there was any chance of an early one and were told no because the chef was uncontactable. Eventually there was an offer to collect milk and cereal from the bar the eve before, but as there was no fridge in room, we felt this was not an option.

Good Points: The location
Bad Points: One was given the idea that you stayed in a quaint pub called the wool pack, when in fact you stayed in a faceless annexe
Further Comments: Pub itself fine , the dog totally the star,rooms i think possibly the most basic i'v ever come across, tried to put heater on in room only to find it did not work.... on further inspection found no fuse in fuse spare ? Door into accomadation block had no closer on it result door slammed shut whenever used , not good at 2am.

Good Points: easy to find. Very nice carvery on Sunday and Very nice food overall; had evening meal there. Nice beer. easy and secure access to room with big car park. Bus stop in front of Woolpack Inn so for people who do not want to use a car, this is very useful. Quiet at night. Very close to Chichester.
Further Comments: We wanted to visit some friends, relax and visit Chichester without the trouble of finding somewhere to eat, so the Woolpack Inn offered just what we were looking for at a reasonable price.

Good Points: Easy to find, nice and quiet, plenty of parking
Further Comments: The hotel description was sufficient and accurate.
13 Mature couple - 28/10/07	40%
Good Points: The accomodation was clean but basic
Bad Points: The choice of food was limited and lacked variety. There were few choices for people who did not want chips with everything
Further Comments: This hotel did not measure up to what I expected when I booked online. The annexe was clean but did smell strongly of tobacco smoke even though it was a non-smoking area. The food was hot and presented fairly well although lacked variety. The breakfast at 8am had clearly been on the hotplate for some time although I was offered a freshly cooked egg without requesting it. Although I cannot pinpoint any one fault, the hotel was below the standard I had expected.

Good Points: The Breakfast was very good and the pub itself was quite nice.
Bad Points: The Plastic coated matress and the rather filthy toilet brush.
Further Comments: A generaly adequate hotel accomodation. Some attention needs to be given to cleanliness particularly in the bathroom. The breakfast is really good though and lots of it! For the price paid this hotel is reasonable enough.

Good Points: Staff kept bar open late for when we returned from wedding.
Bad Points: Abrupt manner of some of the staff.
Further Comments: Perhaps due to the construction, but the walls were not adequate to muffle normal conversation or noises in adjoining rooms. The hotel was quite basic but adequate for a single night's stay.

Good Points: Location was good. Bedding was clean but quilts (singles very small)
Bad Points: I booked and paid for one double and 1 single and when we arrived there were no doubles available. Bin noit emptied, milk moldy on try.
Further Comments: Bit dissapointing. Breakfast was not at all good. Must have been made at 7am when breakfast started. We arrived at 8.30 needless to say bacon was hard, sausages looked so greasy none of us had them, the tinned!! mushrooms along with the tomatoes were stone cold. Only the chef!! around no one else to really complain about it. Chef was only doing what he obviously is expected to do. I did ask for fresh toast because what was there was cold cardboard that hadn't been toasted well. Evening meal also dissapointing my scampi was undercooked and you would not expect to eat carrots, greens with scampi obviously left over vegs especially as I requested the lamb but they had sold out.
