Amazing friendly and helpful staff. One of the best breakfasts we’ve ever had!
Centrally located, a few minutes' walk from Chichester Festival Theater and the cathedral, this beautiful 18th-century building has a brasserie.

It was in a great location and is a nice building. Sounded like it had an interesting history but the waiter was vague about this. Would’ve been a plus if there was some blurb about it somewhere.
Located in Fishbourne, the Woolpack Inn provides the perfect base from which to explore the South Downs and Chichester Harbor, just a 10-minute walk from Fishbourne Rail Station.
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.

The room was tiny and only one person could be in the bathroom at a time. There were no mirrors in the room and the walls were very thin. There must have been student accommodation right next to the room as they were making noises all until the early hours of the morning. Breakfast was ok but nothing special, all a bit dry and stodgy. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. There was no real atmosphere in the hotel although the grounds are stunning.
Perfect location for the wedding we were attending at West Dean.
Room very well equipped- everything we needed . Big mug for the tea and coffee in the room , nice toiletries , hairdryer etc
Excellent breakfast cooked to order in attractive pub
Friendly Labrador
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.
A special place to stay, in the heart of West Dean College. A stunning historical place with modern-day comfort, located in an extraordinary estate setting and breathtaking surroundings.
