About Polly

A true home from home

My ethos at Polly's Dog Hotel is to give every doggy guest a true, loving, relaxed holiday. My spacious home gives guests a restful, calm environment, with space to play and a secure garden. I believe dogs have choice, so I'd never make one do something it feels uncomfortable with.

There are no precious spaces or areas they're not allowed in. They can roam, get muddy, make a mess and generally enjoy themselves — this is their holiday after all!

I'm overlooking the Downs, with direct walking access, so adventure is right on the doorstep.

Zero & Dracula

My own rescue dogs

I currently share my home with two rescue dogs from Raystede, Zero and Dracula — delightful, friendly and little mixed breeds who both love having doggy friends to stay. Guests are always welcome to meet them and explore the house and garden before their first stay.

Why choose Polly's Dog Hotel

Bespoke care for every dog

Individual focus — I focus entirely on the comfort and needs of each guest, and take a limited number of dogs so I can tailor their care.
Family discount — a discount applies for more than one dog per family.
Licensed and fully insured.
Flexible — flexible drop-off and collection times, with no restriction on length of stay.
Free meetings — dogs and guardians need to visit the hotel before a booking is confirmed, so I know every guest will be comfortable during their stay.
Vet care — veterinary care is available 24 hours within 20 minutes, with a local vet just 5 minutes away.
Certified — canine first aid certified, and happy to accommodate unneutered dogs who are well-mannered.
Real rest and play — dogs get to sleep and relax as well as have safe, happy, sniffy walks, plus fun mental enrichment.
Updates on demand — photos and videos can be sent to guardians as many times a day as they'd like! I just can't promise you won't get too jealous…
