    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.

    THis is a unique and very special place, hard to compare wit anywhere else because it is a beautiful building, run very efficiently but with friendly staff. Breakfast, in a canteen setting, was excellent, the room was fantastic and I loved every minute except for leaving!

    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.

    Great manor with lots of history…room are very basic and not worth the money. Would only recommend for a day trip without staying at the actual manor. Wouk’s recommend only fkr a visit not a overnight stay

    A beautiful location, the freedom to walk in the gardens and parkland is a huge bonus. It is peaceful. My room was great - comfortable, clean and warm. The building itself is fabulous. I didn't leave the site. I ate in the restaurant for all my meals and was impressed by the choice and the different dietary options on offer. Pleasant and efficient staff at reception to answer any questions, likewise the catering staff and the housekeeping staff. I look forward to staying again.

    The surroundings of West Dean itself are beautiful although the hotel was disappointing. We had a tiny room and shower and the facilities were very limited. Not what we were expecting. The grounds were stunning but the hotel lacked atmosphere.

    If you are looking for a relaxing, peaceful, scenic and beautiful place to stay, the West Dean manor house and extensive and gorgeously landscaped gardens and grounds are the place to go. Just need to have a car. Great full breakfast, but must go out for lunch and dinner. Also enjoyed the heated swimming pool. Beds very comfortable. Be warned though, no AC, no TV. Not generally needed, and windows open. Lots of places to explore (by car) for day trips.

    I love the location because I am an ex student from West Dean, and I wanted to catch up with some people and it was the easiest place for me to stay while I was there. The food is excellent, although there is less available than pre pandemic when there was a wonderful salad bar. It is lovely and quiet and the atmosphere is warm and friendly.

    As a retired academic I was immediately comfortable both with the surroundings and the facilities provided. The price compared favourably with local hotels and the staff were very helpful. A most interesting building with some fascinating artefacts set in a beautiful location.

    This is the third time we have stayed at West Dean and we love it. The location is fantastic and having unlimited access to the gardens and parkland is priceless. The staff are helpful and friendly and the atmosphere is enjoyably unique.

    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.
