Luxury dog-friendly cottages in East Sussex
From rambles along the South Downs to playing fetch at Camber Sands, a stay in one of our luxury dog-friendly cottages in East Sussex promises adventures aplenty
Weekends together are better when the whole family's involved, four-legged friends included. In our curated collection of luxury dog-friendly cottages in East Sussex, there's hampers of tasty artisan treats on arrival, cosy dog beds settled right by the fire, and secret gardens that'll set tails wagging. So, round up your pack and make for a beautiful private home in the country, to places where dogs can spend their days in the woods, chasing each other’s tails and making impish plans to bury sticks.
If you're setting out to explore East Sussex’s wild landscapes with a faithful companion in tow, this curated collection includes, paws-down, the best kept secrets on the dog-friendly travel scene. With the sun on your face, take to the sand at Brighton, Hove, or Eastbourne, letting the dogs race ahead for their morning dip. Or spend the afternoon meandering through Ashdown Forest, before returning home to a bottle of Beaujolais in the balmy hot tub while the pups dream of foxes by the fireside.
