1 / 8The White Hart
Petersfield, West Sussex
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A village inn in South Harting, in the South Downs near Petersfield, with dog friendly bedrooms, a doggy welcome box and a canine menu.
South Harting is a South Downs village a few minutes from the A3, with Chichester and Portsmouth within easy reach, and The White Hart is its old village inn, full of character and charm. This dog friendly inn suits walkers well: the inn calls itself a watering hole for anyone on the South Downs Way, and keeps local walking guides for taking a dog out before heading back for a drink.
Dogs stay in whichever bedrooms the inn has designated for them, two per room at most, and a doggy bed, blanket, bowl and welcome box of tasty treats come with the room. Leaving a dog in a bedroom while you go out: the pages don't say, so ask when you book.
The canine menu is the fun part: dinner bowls for hungry dogs, chews and lollipups, dog ice cream and an alcohol free beer, and a hydration station where a bowl of water waits afterwards. Food for you runs all day, from early breakfast and coffee through to dinner and cocktails, all home-cooked. The inn doesn't state which rooms a dog may eat in, so square that when you book.
The guest rooms keep Egyptian cotton sheets and en-suite bathrooms, and the inn's own guides send you out into the countryside. Harting Down, 4.1 miles away, is on our walk list, and East Head, 12.6 miles out, is the nearest beach for dogs we show.
