Dog-friendly The Bell in Ticehurst, East Sussex

Overview

The Bell in Ticehurst stands as an exceptional launching pad for exploring the treasures of the East Sussex and the South East, and what's more, your furry companion, Fido, is more than welcome to join the adventure. This canine-friendly haven is centrally located in the heart of the village and boasts a rich history dating back to the 16th century. Following a meticulous renovation, The Bell in Ticehurst has artfully revived its quintessentially English charm, transforming into a truly enchanting property.

Guests and their four-legged friends can take their pick from a selection of exquisite bedrooms or indulge in the luxury of lodges set within their private gardens. The lodges, complete with a snug fire pit, provide an idyllic setting for roasting marshmallows and drying off those inevitably damp paws after a delightful countryside stroll.

The on-site restaurant is led by visionary & Head Chef Mark Charker who crafts menus using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. The cosy, unique & inviting restaurant offers great food and an extensive selection of wines and beers, with options to complement each dish. The restaurant gladly welcomes furry friends for both breakfast and dinner, and you can also choose to dine with your pup in the cosy bar, or in the garden on those sunny days.

For those wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, The Bell proves to be an ideal dog-friendly holiday destination. Positioned just a 30-minute drive from Hastings, Tunbridge Wells, and Rye, it offers a tranquil retreat amidst the picturesque landscapes of the South East.

Must be the luxurious lodges, with their enclosed patio and fire pits to snuggle up with Fido in the evenings!
