It was the most surprising and special stay I‘ve ever been to. Sleeping in the college was like in a Harry Potter Movie and walking across the gardens feels like you‘re literally Alice in Wonderland. If you love a magic get away in the middle of nowhere, you will never forget this place — take your time to inhale the atmosphere, read literature in the library, play chess, dip in the pool or have a hot bath and go for stunning walks surrounded by flowers and animals ✨✨✨ coming back for sure!! Thank you so much 💖

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.

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.

Friendly and comfortable. Our room was a good size. There was a very quiet fan which was useful as the room was very warm. The shower was powerful with loads of hot water. There was a great choice at breakfast and, like dinner which we had there both evening during our stay, the food was freshly cooked and hot. It was a great place to stay for visiting the Weald and Downland Living Museum and West Dean Gardens.

The location is lovely, so is the pub and the food! My only regret is loitering in Chichester during the day and not heading to West Dean earlier to enjoy it fully. Great size rooms and all very comfortable.
