Absolutely loved this special place. Arrived after a long day of walking on the South Downs way - greeted by welcoming staff. Had the most amazing room in the vicarage with crisp white sheets and gorgeous bath with French doors out onto the garden. Wonderful dinner in the refectory surrounded by residential art groups then adjourned to the lovely bar. Next morning used the pool. And visited the gardens. Amazing

I stayed with my best friend in a twin room. The room size was excellent! Lots of space and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed using the spa very much and the steam room was ace. Staff throughout were friendly and lovely 😀. The breakfast was the best hotel breakfast I’ve had; the poached pears were superb!! Lots of choice and freshly made items. There is a walking route around the grounds and as a hotel guest you can also have a drink in the Kennels on the main site too. The highlight was a short drive to the Aerodrome cafe at Goodwood too and exploring the Goodwood site there as well. We took a short drive into Chichester too which is very close and opted to eat out there instead of the onsite restaurant which was easy; there’s a great Camra pub I’d recommend!

Caroline was very friendly and accommodating. Excellent communication and a very clean and comfortable room. What's more, we were in a local village for a big funeral, and the locals were all saying the food at the Elstead Inn (rooms are located in a barn to the back) all commented on how good the food was.

It's located near the station, so not only easy to find out, but also it was easy for us to go on a one-day trip every day during our one-week stay. The members of the staff are all friendly! It was a lovely stay!

What a fabulous house and grounds! Fascinating history!

What a fabulous house and grounds! Fascinating history! Service was excellent - food was very good. Wonderful to be able to listen to the musical performance. Marvellous to sleep with an open window. The room was good but only one pillow. No tea/coffee facilities in the room. Unable/ difficulties in climbing into the bath to have a shower. The sides of the bath were too high. This is my responsibilty as I should have thought about this when I made the booking!

This is an awesome place to get away from it all.

This is an awesome place to get away from it all. It’s an art college with hotel rooms. The pluses were that it has a great relaxing vibe, no TV in the room, a beautiful landscape, great staff, and it’s a lovely building. If you lock your phone away you really can get away from it all. The minuses were (in our room - can’t talk for the other rooms) a pitiful shower, a double bed (who has double beds any more), the set meal times have limited food choices, and you can’t nip out for supplies because you’re 20 minutes in the car from anywhere. But we plan to come back and unplug for a week!

Its a beautiful house in magnificent grounds.

Its a beautiful house in magnificent grounds. There's a buzz of creative activity about West Dean which is what will entice me back to attend one of their many courses. We ate in the local pub, as we only stayed one night: a very pleasant but not too long a walk away. Look out for the peacock on the roof of a house in the village, he'll certainly make his presence felt. Our room was lovely, the bed extremely comfortable, all our needs anticipated with a hair dryer, iron etc, and the ensuite bathroom very luxurious. I couldn't have wished for more. Take sturdy shoes as the grounds are extensive and worth a look.

Really enjoyed the outdoor pool for daily swim, although changing facilities very basic & rather a trek from the main house. An evening meal was available, but not taken. Disappointed in cooked breakfast choice, although cold buffet bits were good. Comfy room. Helpful staff. Lovely grounds. Ideal for a quiet escape. There were 'student activities' happening, but they did not compromise our stay.

We enjoyed the evening meal at The Partridge Inn better than the Selsey Arms. We were there to visit the Weald and Downland Museum on our 55th Wedding Anniversary on the 29th., so it was very convenient. Had a great day, but very tiring.

West Dean College is in a beautiful location with spectacular views. The gardens are amazing and truly worth a wander around. The main college building has various items on display and details the history of the college, which was informative and interesting. The rooms are clean and basic but very comfortable. We enjoyed a little tipple in the bar after a long walk around the property and gardens before heading out to supper nearby. Breakfast was varied. An enjoyable stay.
