West Dean College
West Dean Chichester , West Dean, PO180QZ, United Kingdom – Excellent location – show map
As something of a history buff staying in such surroundings was quite special, the evening reception gentlemen were particularly helpful---it was a really foul evening weather wise and allowed me to leave my car in the "reception" car park rather than battle the elements walking from the regular one. Only wish I could have stayed a little longer (in better weather) to appreciate the grounds fully.

Set in acres of West Sussex countryside, West Dean College is just 6 miles from historic Chichester and 13 minutes’ drive from the heart of the South Downs National Park. The Sussex Coast can be reached after 20 minutes by car. The rooms in this characterful and quirky period property are mostly traditional in style, although the college includes a variety of room types, with some more modern and contemporary options. Many rooms feature garden views and bathrooms offer either a bath or a shower, with complimentary toiletries and towels. The rooms are either located within the main house or in cottages or the vicarage which are all within the grounds. You can expect a peaceful stay as rooms do not have TVs or phones in the rooms, we do however have excellent Wi-Fi should you wish to bring a laptop or tablet. In the mornings, West Dean College serve breakfast between 8-9am on weekdays and 8-9:30am at the weekend. The breakfast will be served in the college dining room among the students. Guests will receive free entry to West Dean’s famous and beautifully landscaped gardens. An array of activities can be enjoyed onsite, including walks through the stunning arboretum, croquet, and tennis. The outdoor heated swimming pool is open during summer. The Goodwood Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival are within 5 miles of the West Dean College. Gatwick Airport is 45 miles away and Heathrow Airport is less than 60 miles away.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.
