How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 47 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 7.8/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: September 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.

Pet-friendly summary
Beauport Holiday Park sits on The Ridge West on the northern edge of Hastings, and its self-contained caravans make an easy, low-friction base for a short break with a dog. Each van has its own front door, with parking alongside it - no corridors, no lift and no reception to walk a muddy dog back through, which is usually the thing that makes or breaks a stay with a nervous or elderly pet.
The park welcomes dogs, and so does the on-site bar and restaurant. That is worth knowing, because it means you are not stuck eating in the caravan every night or leaving your dog alone while you go out for dinner - which matters more here than at most parks, because the rules do not allow a dog to be left alone in a van at any time. The food is rated as good value and the staff are warmly spoken of.
The house rules are published in full and are stricter than most: dogs on a lead everywhere on the park, never left alone in a caravan, kept off the bedding and the seating, and out of the play areas, with owners expected to clean up and a limit of two pets per family. The park also reserves the right to ask a persistently antisocial dog to leave. Breeds listed under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 are not accepted at all, which rules out an XL Bully, Pit Bull Terrier, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro or Japanese Tosa. No pet charge is published, so check that when you book.
The main thing to be aware of is cleanliness between changeovers. More than one guest has arrived to find a strong dog smell left in the van by a previous occupant, in one case strong enough that they cleaned it themselves before settling in. Cleanliness comes up in the general reviews too, and the vans vary a good deal - some guests report a clean, modern, well-equipped unit with clever storage, others one that felt tired and basic. Reviews also note the play area is small, the pool is not open year-round, and noise from the country club can carry late on weekend nights.
Best suited to dog owners who want an inexpensive, practical Hastings base with parking at the door and somewhere on site to eat with their dog, and who will not be thrown by a van that needs airing out on arrival. It earns a 4.4/5 paw rating - a genuinely dog-friendly setup, let down by inconsistent housekeeping.
