1 / 23Knoll House
Fittleworth, Sussex
A four bedroom house for seven at Fittleworth inside the South Downs National Park, with a large enclosed garden, a wood burner and one dog welcome.
Fittleworth is a village of sandstone and brick in the wooded country between the Rother and the downs, and all of it sits inside the South Downs National Park. Knoll House stands in it, dog friendly, sleeping seven, four bedrooms served by three bathrooms, a large enclosed garden and one dog welcome. Footpaths leave the village in every direction and none of them requires a car first.
Seven is an unusual capacity and this house handles the awkward version of it, a family that no longer divides neatly into couples. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms mean the morning does not turn into a rota. A wood burner covers the evening, games cover the hours that need filling, and a garden large enough and properly enclosed, which at one dog means the animal has an acre of attention and a lawn to itself.
The single dog in a house of seven ends up as everybody's project. It gets walked three times because three different people volunteered, fed twice by mistake, and by the third day has worked out which of the seven is the soft one. That is a good week for a dog, and the enclosed garden is where it retreats to when the house becomes too sociable to bear.
At 2.1 miles Petworth Park is the outstanding walk in reach of this door, seven hundred acres of Capability Brown parkland with a deer herd in it and open access on foot. Beyond it the greensand ridge runs west in woods and heath, and south the chalk of the downs proper begins. A dog gets parkland, forest and open hill inside one short drive, and mostly does not need the drive.

Is Knoll House dog friendly?
Yes, Knoll House welcomes one dog. The house has a large enclosed garden where your dog can roam freely, and footpaths leave the village in every direction without needing to get in the car first.
Are dogs allowed at Knoll House year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the property directly to confirm availability for your dates. What we can say is that the surrounding area — including Petworth Park just 2.1 miles away — offers brilliant walking whatever the season.
What should I know before visiting Knoll House with my dog?
The property accepts one dog, so it's not suitable for households bringing multiple dogs. The garden is large and properly enclosed, which is great for letting your dog off lead safely, and Petworth Park's 700 acres of Capability Brown parkland with a resident deer herd is almost on the doorstep — worth bearing in mind if your dog has a strong chase instinct.
