The Goodwood Hotel

Chichester, West Sussex

Yes. Dogs can stay in 12 dog friendly rooms.

A hotel on the Goodwood Estate near Chichester, with twelve ground floor rooms for dogs and 11,000 acres of West Sussex countryside outside.

On the edge of the South Downs National Park, The Goodwood Hotel sits in 11,000 acres of West Sussex countryside with miles of walking straight from the doorstep. Guests with dogs get one of twelve ground floor rooms, and indoors a dog can go almost anywhere with you: a dog friendly hotel with a very large estate attached.

Those rooms either open onto an inner courtyard or sit near an exit, and the hotel asks that dogs are a year old or more. A bed, bowls, bags and treats are provided. The hotel doesn't say whether a second dog can come along, so settle that when you book. Dogs walk the estate on a lead, and designated areas in the grounds are set aside for them to explore.

The Goodwood Bar & Grill runs all-day dining with a menu that highlights Goodwood Home Farm's organic produce, and Farmer, Butcher, Chef builds its menu around the beef, pork and lamb reared on that farm, with its Butcher's Boards. The hotel says dogs can come along when you eat, though it doesn't say where, so check that when you reserve a table. The hotel cannot provide dog food, so bring your dog's own.

The Health Club, the treatment rooms and the function rooms are the places dogs do not go. The hotel has a heated indoor pool, and the estate has two 18 hole golf courses. A walking map is kept at reception, and Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve Walk, one of ours, is 4.2 miles away, with our nearest dog friendly beach, Bognor Regis Beach, 6.3 miles off.
