East Beach Hotel

Eastbourne, East Sussex

Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.

A Victorian hotel on the Eastbourne beachfront overlooking the English Channel, with 32 rooms and walks with the dog straight from the front door.

East Beach Hotel is a Victorian hotel standing right on the beachfront in Eastbourne, 32 rooms in a building overlooking the English Channel. The walking is the reason to bring a dog to this dog friendly hotel: the seafront sits directly opposite, and a stroll up to Holywell goes from the door, with tea and cake at the end of it and views to the top of Beachy Head.

Dogs are no afterthought here. The hotel's own line is that every member of the family deserves a comfortable stay, the dog included, and it sets out to suit both of you. There are 32 rooms in the building, though which of them take dogs and how many may come the hotel does not say, so pin that down at booking.

Breakfast gets the day going, and the restaurant and bar do food and drink in a relaxed room, with a sun lounge for sitting still and watching the water. Where a dog can be while you eat the hotel does not say, one more question for the booking.

The sun lounge and the outdoor terrace both look over the sea, and Eastbourne Pier is nearby, with the town centre about fifteen minutes on foot. Wildpack maps South Downs Way: Eastbourne to Alfriston at 1.3 miles, and Birling Gap, the nearest beach it lists for dogs, at 4.6 miles.
