1 / 18The Lakehouse Apartment
Rudgwick, Sussex
A five star one bedroom apartment for two at Rudgwick in Sussex, overlooking a lake, with a private patio, shared grounds and one dog welcome.
The outside here is two things and only one of them is yours. A secluded private patio with a table and chairs, looking over the lake, belongs to the apartment. A few metres on, the walled garden and the swimming pool in it are shared with the owners, who live nearby. There is no enclosed garden of the apartment's own, so past the patio a dog is on the lead. The Lakehouse Apartment looks out over that water at Rudgwick in Sussex, five star, one bedroom for two, dog friendly, one dog.
One more thing to weigh before booking: it is a first floor apartment and a set of exterior steps leads up to it. For a young dog that is nothing. For an old one, or a heavy one, it is the fact that matters most in this listing.
What you get for both of those is a view very little else offers. The kitchen looks over the lake, the open plan lounge and diner takes the same outlook across it and the Sussex countryside, and the dining table sits in front of French doors you can throw open. The king bedroom has the view as well, the shower room is a large walk-in, and a separate laundry room takes the wet things a dog brings back.
Footpaths leave the doorstep and link into the Wey South Path and the Sussex and Surrey border path, which between them are the best walking in this corner of the county. One dog gets field, wood and greensand ridge straight from the bottom of those steps.

Is The Lakehouse Apartment dog friendly?
Yes, The Lakehouse Apartment welcomes dogs — one dog per stay. It's a five star one bedroom apartment in Rudgwick, Sussex, with a private patio overlooking the lake and footpaths leaving straight from the door into some great walking country.
Are dogs allowed at The Lakehouse Apartment 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 paths — including the Wey South Path and the Sussex and Surrey border path — offer year-round walking from the doorstep.
What should I know before visiting The Lakehouse Apartment with my dog?
There are two key things to consider. First, the apartment is on the first floor and reached by a set of exterior steps, which could be a real challenge for older or heavier dogs — it's the most important practical detail in this listing. Second, while there's a lovely private patio for the apartment, there's no enclosed garden of its own, so beyond the patio your dog will need to be on the lead.
