Dog-Friendly Hotels in East Sussex

Reading time:

2 mins

From the springy turf of the Seven Sisters to our multitude of parks, they’re in doggy heaven. Just think: you’ll be able to seize the day leash in hand and explore the breadth of Sussex with your best pal by your side.

Good thing Eastbourne beach is dog friendly- though you may want to keep them close on the pebbles! After a day of sand and salt, you might want to try out the local top-rated groomers in Eastbourne- such as Pugs in a Tub Ltd (3 minute drive), Muddy-Mutts dog grooming (8 minute drive) or Tia & Duke Dog Grooming (5 minute drive). If you need a top-up of treats, toys or just local pet advice, you can try Pets Pantry (8 minute drive), or Pets at Home Eastbourne (10 minute drive).

When you return from a hard day’s walk, refuel the woof machine with the dog bowl waiting in your room.

However, we don’t believe in keeping you cooped up just because you brought a pet: The Lansdowne has a dedicated lounge for dogs and their human companions, as well as a dog-friendly restaurant where we’re happy to set up a table for you both. Every pet-friendly stay in Eastbourne comes with a complimentary goody-bag too: just a little gift from us.

Lansdowne’s Eco-Friendly Commitments

Nature is very important to us at the Lansdowne Hotel. Every day we are intimately reminded of our place in the natural world by our view of the changing tides.
