The Selsey Arms staff were friendly and helpful. We arrived in the middle of the D Day celebrations at the venue and were immediately included. The room was clean and tidy and was all we asked for a nights stay. The bed was comfortable too. Breakfast at the Selsey Arms is really good and the staff couldn't do enough for you. I would thoroughly recommend the Selsey Arms to all my friends and family.

friendly staff and good food and a good selection of beers
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.

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.

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.
Very helpful and accommodating since we had a trailer attached to our car so needed a secure place of sufficient size to park it safely over night. Night security were alerted to keep an eye on it. Coming to near Chichester to pick up a trailer we had purchased was our reason for the visit to the area and we made the most of the journey but having a wonderful nights stay at West Dean College with enough time to enjoy exploring the beautiful grounds on arrival and a lovely breakfast before leaving for home. We will definitely come again.
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.
The surroundings are breathtaking, the building and the rooms exotic. As a place to stay West Dean College has all the necessary amenities without the flummery.
