West Dean College

About

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. Some rooms are more modern and contemporary. Many rooms feature garden views and bathrooms offer either a bath or a shower, with complimentary toiletries and towels.

In the mornings, the West Dean College serves breakfast in the refectory of the college, which is internationally renowned for conservation and creative arts.

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. Heathrow Airport is less than 60 miles away.
