1 / 8South Lawn Hotel
Lymington, Hampshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A country house hotel between the New Forest and the Hampshire coast near Lymington, with a dog paddock, a doggy dining area and a sausage at breakfast.
Between the wild beauty of the New Forest and the Hampshire coast, ten minutes from Lymington, South Lawn Hotel sits in its own countryside grounds at Milford on Sea. Dogs aren't just allowed here, they're adored, and this dog friendly hotel keeps a dog paddock at the back for a proper run around.
Well behaved dogs stay in designated rooms by prior arrangement, two at most per room, so tell the hotel about your dog when booking. Welcome treats and water bowls are ready, dog towels come on request and there are always spare bags at reception, with dog waste bins on site. Easy outdoor access is part of the offer, and some ground floor rooms and suites open straight onto a private terrace and the grounds; ask the hotel which of the designated dog rooms those include. Its pages don't mention leaving a dog by itself in the room, so check that in advance.
Doggy dining is popular here, and the hotel keeps a special area for anyone eating with a dog, with fresh bowls of water, comfy spots to settle and a complimentary sausage at breakfast. At The Cedar Tree the menu runs from local favourites to global bites, with traditional Sunday roasts, and afternoon tea of sandwiches and cakes comes by pre-order.
South Lawn holds VisitEngland 4-Star Silver status, and 57 en-suite rooms range from house doubles to three-bedroom suites, most with garden views. The sea is close for your dog: Wildpack's map has Milford on Sea Beach as the nearest dog friendly beach, 0.6 miles away, giving onto the Solent Way coastal path, while Keyhaven Marshes Coastal Path, on Wildpack's map, is 1.3 miles off.
