Blackbrooks Garden Centre

Blackbrooks Garden Centre in Sedlescombe is a large independent destination garden centre north of Hastings, with a well-stocked plant area, gift and home retail, food hall and on-site restaurant. Dogs are welcome inside the stores and restaurant, so you can keep the whole crew together whether you're browsing seasonal stock or stopping for lunch.

The dog policy is straightforward: keep your dog on the floor and away from the food counter and if barking starts, step outside for a reset. It's a practical setup that works well for most dogs used to retail environments.

Free parking makes it an easy stop for a longer browse or a midweek errand run with the dog in tow. It's the sort of place that turns a plant-shopping trip into a proper outing, with plenty to see and no need to leave anyone behind in the car.
