Wotton House, a dog friendly country house hotel in Dorking1 / 8

Wotton House

Dorking, Surrey

Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.

A country estate hotel in 13 acres near Dorking, where the dog can swim in the Tillingbourne and join you in the bar.

Wotton House has had 400 years to become itself, and what it is now is a country estate hotel in 13 acres of Surrey countryside outside Dorking, with seventeenth century Italian gardens and a pillared library. It calls itself a dog friendly hotel and backs that up outdoors: the dog can enjoy the gardens and swim in the Tillingbourne, the river that runs through the grounds.

On arrival your dog is given its own bed, bowls and treats. The lead stays on in the hotel's public areas, and the hotel also asks that a pup is not left unattended in your bedroom. Which rooms take dogs, and how many, the hotel doesn't state.

Breakfast is an English buffet laid out in the welcoming bar area, and dogs are more than welcome to join you there; the Bar serves its daily menu and sparkling English wines. Whether the lounges are open to a dog the hotel doesn't state, so raise it on arrival.

The leisure club holds an indoor heated swimming pool, a sauna and steam room, a fully equipped gym and a tennis court. The dog's share is the Surrey Hills around it: Ranmore Common and Denbies Vineyard Walk, one of ours, is 2.3 miles away, and Silent Pool and Albury Heath is 2.9 miles away.
