1 / 24Winchelsea Haven
Winchelsea, Sussex
A family house for six in the historic town of Winchelsea, with two open fires, a large conservatory, a fully enclosed garden and one dog welcome.
Winchelsea Haven sits in the historic town of Winchelsea, close to its medieval church, with footpaths meandering out across the rolling Sussex countryside for keen walkers. This dog friendly house sleeps six and welcomes one dog, and its fully enclosed garden has seating areas to enjoy the sunshine all day.
The hallway has space for coats and shoes and leads to a cosy lounge with comfortable seating, a Smart TV, a wide selection of books and board games, and an open fire. From the hallway you also reach a light and bright open plan space that brings together a large conservatory with a dining table, a well equipped kitchen and a relaxed seating area arranged around a second open fire, with logs provided to get it going. With two fires to choose from, the dog will be torn between them all evening.
A utility room with a WC completes the ground floor, and upstairs there are two king size bedrooms, a twin that can become a double on request, and a family bathroom. Outside, the fully enclosed garden has its various seating areas, a table and chairs for dining outdoors and a charcoal BBQ, and the dog can potter about while supper cooks.
Winchelsea Beach is only a short drive away, its gentle shelving shore hiding an ancient petrified forest that appears at low tide, and the footpaths of the High Weald, many with a village pub along the way, make for long days out with the dog. Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, 4 miles off, is a haven for birdwatchers, the market town of Rye is 3 miles away for antique shops and afternoon tea, and Camber Sands is a little further.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Winchelsea Haven dog friendly?
Yes, Winchelsea Haven welcomes one dog. The house has a fully enclosed garden at the back with patio seating, so your dog has a secure space to roam freely. Out in the town itself, quiet streets and a large churchyard make for easy, pleasant walks on the lead.
Are dogs allowed at Winchelsea Haven year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and with open fires at both ends of the house and an enclosed garden, it's well set up for a visit at any time of year. If you're planning around a particular season, it's worth confirming directly with the property.
What should I know before visiting Winchelsea Haven with my dog?
The key thing to know is that only one dog is permitted, so if your group is bringing more than one it's worth checking before you book. On the plus side, Winchelsea is a genuinely quiet town that sits off the main roads, so you're looking at empty streets, a large churchyard, and medieval gate walks rather than busy traffic. The beach is about a mile downhill from the house if you fancy a longer outing.
