1 / 8South Lodge Hotel & Spa
Horsham, West Sussex
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A country house in 93 acres of woodland near Horsham, where the ground floor dog friendly rooms give you easy access to the grounds.
There are 93 acres of woodland grounds at South Lodge, a country house near Horsham in West Sussex, and a dog can walk them on a lead. The grounds are what make this a dog friendly hotel worth the drive: they carry on into the wider countryside paths.
A dog bed, two bowls, poo bags, a treat and a towel for mucky paws come with the room. Some of the rooms take dogs, up to two of them in a room, and the ground floor ones have easy access to the grounds for when nature calls. The hotel doesn't mention size or breed limits, so raise it when you book.
Your dog can come along for all-day dining in the bar, the lounges or the terrace. Dogs don't join you in the restaurants, which are worth an evening of their own. The Pass holds a Michelin star and sends out a tasting menu from the heart of the kitchen, and Camellia cooks produce pulled from the hotel's walled garden.
The spa runs to three pools and at least 14 treatment spaces, with a botanical sauna and a salt steam room in the thermal suite, and it was named Spa of the Year at the AA Hospitality Awards in 2023. Walks start at the door: dogs head out on a lead through the grounds and onto the wider countryside paths, and the staff have plenty more to suggest. Wildpack's walk at St Leonard's Forest and Crabtree is 3.4 miles away, and Shoreham Beach, a dog friendly beach on Wildpack, is the nearest at 12.6 miles.
