The allowance here is four dogs, in a village cottage with two bedrooms, which puts the first question where it belongs: where do four of them go when they come through the door. You do not arrive into a hall at Gore Cottage, you arrive into a room, a breakfast area with its own table and chairs, before the lounge has begun. Dog friendly at Eastry near Sandwich, sleeping five, an enclosed garden behind it.

Lounge and diner run as one from there, the original inglenook built into the wall with an open fire set in it, and kitchen and bathroom sit behind. The washing machine lives in a cupboard in that bathroom and a shed outside holds a freezer and a second fridge, which describes a cottage arranged by somebody who ran out of kitchen and kept going. With four dogs in a building this size, a bathroom at ground level is most of the argument.

Above are two doubles, a separate WC and a wide landing with a bed on it for a fifth person. Behind it the garden is enclosed, a patio with table and chairs on it and a shed at one end for bicycles. Four dogs will establish a circuit of that garden inside ten minutes and then use it all week.

This is a Kent village between the arable and the coast, with Sandwich just outside it, a medieval port the sea walked away from and left inland behind its walls. Richborough and its Roman fort lie 3.1 miles off, a wall and an amphitheatre in open ground. Four dogs get flat country with footpaths over most of it, and Sandwich Bay when the week wants sand under it instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Gore Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Gore Cottage welcomes up to four dogs, which makes it one of the more generous allowances you'll find in a cottage this size. It's a two-bedroom village cottage in Eastry, near Sandwich in Kent, with an enclosed garden behind it — a real bonus when you've got a full pack in tow.
Are dogs allowed at Gore Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and nothing in the property details suggests otherwise. If you want to confirm availability for specific dates, it's worth checking directly with the owner or booking platform.
What should I know before visiting Gore Cottage with my dog?
The cottage has an enclosed garden with a patio, which gives dogs a secure space to roam, though four dogs will likely have mapped every inch of it within ten minutes. There's no traditional entrance hall — you come straight into the breakfast area — so it's worth having a plan for muddy paws after walks. The good news is there's a ground-floor bathroom, which is handy for rinsing dogs off after a day at Sandwich Bay, and the surrounding countryside offers flat walking with footpaths across much of it.
