Hotels in Selsey

Selsey is not a town built around large hotels — its accommodation has always leaned towards holiday parks, static caravans and self-catering cottages, reflecting its history as a family seaside resort rather than a conference or city-break destination. Visitors looking for a more conventional hotel stay will generally find better choice a short drive away in Chichester, which has a wider range of options from budget chains to boutique and coaching-inn style hotels, all within easy reach of Selsey via the B2145.

Within Selsey itself and the surrounding Manhood Peninsula villages, the accommodation on offer tends towards guesthouses, bed and breakfasts and holiday cottages, many of them family-run and geared towards guests visiting for the beach, the RNLI station or the birdwatching at Pagham Harbour and Medmerry. These smaller options often suit visitors better than a hotel would, since they tend to be closer to the seafront and the harbour trails than anything in Chichester. For those who do want proper hotel facilities alongside a beachfront stay, Seal Bay Resort's static lodges and its indoor leisure facilities offer something close to a hotel experience while remaining on the doorstep of Selsey's beach.
