1 / 8The White Horse Inn
Pulborough, West Sussex
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A modern British inn at the heart of Sutton in the South Downs, with eight bedrooms, an AA Rosette and dogs in the bar and the garden.
Sutton is a village in the rolling countryside of the South Downs National Park, and the White Horse sits at the heart of it, a modern British inn with a welcoming bar, a restaurant and an elegant garden terrace. The dog friendly inn part is specific: the pet friendly garden rooms take well behaved dogs, and Sutton itself is a starting point for countryside walks.
Those eight bedrooms are individually designed, with hand-crafted beds, 400-thread count linen, heated limestone floors and fog-free mirrors. The hotel doesn't state the number of dogs, or whether one can stay behind in the room, so settle both on the phone.
The kitchen has an AA Rosette for Culinary Excellence, with menus built on Sussex produce bought daily from farmers, fishermen and growers, lunch out on the sunlit terrace and a full English breakfast included in a stay. Well behaved dogs can be in the pub and bar area with you, and on leads in the garden; where you can eat together the hotel doesn't mention, so raise it when you book a table.
The inn is also an AA Inn 2024, listed in The Good Food Guide and a TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice winner, and families can take interconnecting rooms. Wildpack's map puts Petworth Park 2.8 miles away and Littlehampton Beach, the nearest beach for dogs, 9.1 miles out.
