1 / 8Brandshatch Place Hotel & Spa
Dartford, Kent
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A Kent country house in 12 acres of parkland, with treats for dogs on arrival and the lounges, bars and terraces open to them.
Built in 1806 and standing in 12 acres of parkland and gardens at Fawkham, Brandshatch Place is a country house with thirty-eight bedrooms, a spa and the Drawing Room at its heart. It counts as a dog friendly hotel because dogs are allowed in the rooms where people actually settle: the lounges, the bars, the terraces.
A selection of rooms is set aside for dog friendly stays, up to two dogs in one, chosen for easy access outside, and there are plenty of treats on arrival. The hotel wants your dog's name and breed beforehand so the welcome can be personal, and expects good behaviour and a lead in the public rooms. One gap worth a phone call: the hotel doesn't mention dogs left alone in a bedroom.
Dogs don't go into the restaurants, the health club or the spa; what they get instead is the bar, where morning coffee runs through elevenses and afternoon tea to late-night digestifs, and the lounge, with doors onto the terrace. The Dining Room does a modern British menu and a traditional afternoon tea of homemade sweet and savoury treats.
That spa holds seven treatment rooms, a sauna and steam room, a relaxation room and a 13-metre indoor pool, with a gym and training zone beside it, and the Master Suites come with canopied wooden sleigh beds. Dog walking happens outside: Lullingstone Country Park and Shoreham Circular is 3.5 miles away, Trosley Country Park and the Coldrum Stones 3.9 miles.
