Bailiffscourt Hotel & Spa

Mock-medieval hideaway a five-minute walk from a year-round dog beach

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A 1920s mock-medieval house built for the Guinness family, set in 30 acres of parkland running down to Climping Beach, with thatched cottages, open fires, four-posters and a spa with indoor and outdoor pools. It suits a coastal country-house break where the dog gets a beach every day of the year. Dogs eat with you in the lounge at breakfast and dinner.

Why it's in the collection

Climping Beach is about five minutes' walk through the grounds and takes dogs all year round. Arundel and the River Arun paths are a short drive inland.

Dogs are welcome everywhere except the spa and the main restaurant. You can dine with them in the Courtyard, the Rose Garden or the lounges, including for breakfast. Dogs stay on a lead in public areas, including the Courtyard and Rose Garden, and can explore the 30 acres and run along the beach.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
