1 / 8The Leicester Arms Country Inn
Penshurst, Kent
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A country inn in the village of Penshurst, Kent, where the bar and the outside spaces take dogs and certain bedrooms are set aside for them.
The Leicester Arms is a British country inn and dining room in the village of Penshurst in Kent, its bedrooms taking their colours from the plants they are named after. The dog friendly inn side of it puts the bar and the outside spaces at your disposal together, and keeps certain rooms for guests who bring a dog.
Daffodil is listed by the inn as a dog friendly room, light and airy in subtle yellow hues, with views onto the village and a writing desk. No two rooms are the same, and all of them have super king beds, and the inn invites you to gaze out over the Kent countryside. Tell the inn a dog is on the way when you reserve and it will set the right arrangements in motion; it does not state a limit on numbers, nor whether a dog can be left unattended there.
Provenance is the point of the menus, with Kentish ingredients sourced directly from local farms and producers and cooking that aims to be accomplished yet approachable. Local ales, fine wines and classic spirits stock the bar, and telling the inn a dog is coming gets a suitable table allocated to you; exactly where the pair of you may eat, the inn does not mention.
There is a terrace and a covered pergola outside, and roll top baths to soak in indoors. Wildpack maps Penshurst Place Circular via the River Eden at 1.3 miles for a walk with the dog, and the inn makes a point of welcoming weary walkers.
