1 / 8The White Horse Inn
Chilgrove, West Sussex
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A boutique inn in the South Downs foothills at Chilgrove, where dogs get water and treats and the pub takes them for lunch or dinner.
The White Horse Inn stands in the foothills of the South Downs at Chilgrove, a Butcombe boutique inn with rooms tucked away within the property, moments from the Goodwood Estate. Dogs come in for lunch, dinner or a drink at this dog friendly inn, and it runs dog meet-ups, charity walks, themed evenings and training sessions as well.
Dogs are accepted in some of the rooms on request, so say so when you book. The number of dogs depends on their size, so check the limit at the same time. Fresh water and treats greet them. A dog must not be left unattended in a room.
Lunch, dinner or just a pint works with a dog beside you in the pub, where roaring fireplaces and cosy nooks are the setting. The menu runs from pub classics to contemporary plates on local produce, with cask ale, craft beer, cider, wines and cocktails. A complimentary breakfast can be added to the stay.
Rooms are recently refurbished with vintage furnishings, showers or free standing tubs and British bath products, and the Signature Plus has a private terrace for a glass of wine over the Sussex countryside. The dog's walking is close: Harting Down, 0.2 miles away, is one of ours, and the inn points walkers at the Centurion Way as well. Wildpack's nearest dog friendly beach is East Head, 10.3 miles off.
