Dog FoodThe Chatsworth Hotel Dog Friendly Review
The Chatsworth Hotel in Eastbourne holds an acceptable C Roch Rank for dogs and their owners. It is dog friendly throughout the hotel, meaning most rooms welcome your dog rather than a single designated wing, and the hotel shares its pet policy before you book so there are no surprises on arrival. Up to two dogs per room are permitted, and practical touches such as a dog bed, real food and water bowls, and dog food for sale show a stay built around the basics done properly.
Day to day, your room comes equipped with a dog bed and proper food and water bowls, with dog food available to buy on site if you run short. A dog-walking service is offered, which is useful if you need to step out without your dog, and you may leave your dog alone in the room during your stay. The fee is £20 per night, which is fair given the facilities included, and you may bring up to two dogs per room, making this a reasonably practical base for a dog friendly break.
The main restriction is a weight limit of 44 lbs, so this stay suits smaller and lighter dogs rather than large breeds. There is no garden for dogs to use, no dedicated dog space, and no dog wash or shower area, and dogs are not allowed in the bar, restaurant, terrace or lounge, so shared indoor and outdoor spaces are largely off limits. There are no green spaces or parks mentioned nearby, and the hotel does not provide poop bags, toys, or free treats, nor does it arrange grooming or a third-party sitter. This hotel suits an owner with a small, manageable dog who is happy with a straightforward, no-frills stay focused on the room itself; owners with larger dogs, or those wanting communal dog friendly areas and nearby walking spots, should look elsewhere.

This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry.
