Head to a pub-with-rooms where you can walk the High Weald and Winnie the Pooh’s Ashdown Forest before returning to tell the resident spaniel about your adventures. Or enjoy a break at a Victorian luxury Sussex spa hotel overlooking the sea in Eastbourne.

There are those that simply offer a friendly place to rest those paws, and those that go the extra mile with dog bowls, treats, blankets and toys. Here are some of the top dog-friendly hotels in Sussex.
