The room was fine (if a little pricey), but the reception and check-out were unfriendly and left an unpleasant feeling. 
I would not recommend this hotel because of that.

Unpleasant reception 

We had a 3 night break in Selsey.  The Seal is a great place to stay, near the the High Street and the sea. We had a clean and comfortable room, the food in the restaurant is good value for money and the staff were all friendly and efficient and made us feel welcome.

Great place to stay

Me and my partner went here for our anniversary as it’s where we had our first date, our waitresses were lovely, however the manager was unbelievably rude and unprofessional, I ordered soy glaze salmon and pork bites, both were overdone and flavourless the salmon tasted of absolutely nothing there was also no glaze in sight, the pork bites were rock solid, working in the industry too I’m aware that this happens and it’s absolutely fixable, but when the manager came over to speak to me after I hadn’t touched my food other than to try it, she borderline told me off like I was a child, she may have been a lot older than me but I am infact not a child. She argued with me and my partner for some reason and told me she hoped I’d order something I actually liked, and that I should’ve said something sooner, I do understand that I couldn’t said sooner , I didn’t because not only did I not want anything else but I also was nervous as complaining is not something I do and I find it incredibly uncomfortable as an autistic person who struggles socially, she made this 10x worse and would stare at me once I was clearly finished speaking. Was very bitter once she finally removed the food we hadn’t touched and refused to look at us when giving us the bill. Shame that the manager is the least professional person serving as she lets the rest of the lovely staff down.

Rude manager

We ate at 5.30pm on a Sunday after 18 holes of golf. We chose roast dinner with extra cauliflower cheese. Top notch awesome quality food. The bar staff are amazing and work really well as a team and the kitchen service was brilliant. Staff very friendly, efficient and helpful. Whole building clean and tidy despite being very busy on a bank holiday. Highly recommend

Great food and brilliant service

We walked into the seal at 11.45 am on 8/04/2024 and spoke to the grey haired bar manager.  What a rude unhelpful person he is.  He spoke to us like we were from another planet stretched his arms out to his sides and tried to usher us like cattle to where he wanted us to go. He then disappeared without answering the initial question.  We had walked in the back door and we walked straight back out.  He’s not a good indication of what to expect from the Seal

Rude bar manager

I placed and paid for my booking and  informed them I had an assistance dog. The owner Kiki refused to allow me to stay as I had an assistance dog and was fully aware she was breaking the law and discriminating against my disability and didn’t care

DO NOT STAY - discriminates against disabilities

We turned up as a walk in but were given a table no problem shown the specials board which we did pick from I had the mushroom soup which was delicious very tasty followed by the sea bass in lobster sauce with samphire this meal was out of this world not a thing wrong with it best fish meal I’ve had we will definitely be back when in the area just surprised it wasn’t busier thanks you to all the lovely staff

Perfect meal

My wife and I stayed at the Seal for 3 nights this September.  We had never been to Selsey and went because my wife’s mother grew up there.  We booked the Seal and really enjoyed it.  The room was very nice and the people were so helpful and friendly.  It’s a real local place with great food and a fantastic pub.  Everyone we met was great and we really enjoyed socializing at the pub.  I would highly recommend the Seal is you are staying in Selsey.  Loved every minute of it and would definitely go again.

Fantastic stay at the Seal

Had the most amazing starter and meal for my wife’s birthday for got to book another place where I was taking her but glad I did because we came here things happen for a reason the all the girls in the restaurant was amazing can’t fault anything about the evening food and staff 10/10

Absolutely amazing

Very nice rooms with drink making facilities, comfy beds and a very decent shower. Easy card access to the rooms from the side entrance, very polite and helpful staff. The food in the restaurant was excellent with decent portions, couldn't fault our stay.
