West Dean College

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 💖

Everyone was really friendly and helpful, the staff couldn't do enough for me, upgraded the room at no extra cost. It was lovely to sit in the bar in the evenings and chat to the locals. The room was cleaned daily and was massive and it wasn't noisy at all despite being in the pub garden, Thoroughly exceeded my expectations and I would stay there again!

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.

Beautiful surroundings, great breakfast, friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable room overlooking the estate. Very clean. Bar on site. A very different experience to your run-of-the-mill hotel, there are amazing artworks all over the college. Free access to the gardens, which are a must-see, they were stunning in July. Will definitely return.
