Your intrepid seadog will go mutts for this spacious first-floor apartment that’s just a scamper away from Brightlingsea Harbour. The property is ideal for a couple and their beloved hound who want to bask on Essex’s Sunshine Coast. The balcony provides a lovely outdoor area for you to unwind from the comfort of the apartment or you can sit and watch the boats coming and going while enjoying a spot of lunch in a dog-friendly cafe on the harbourfront.
Store sandy plimsolls and dog collars in the handy utility room before bounding up the stairs to the comfortable open-plan living area. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need to prepare a romantic meal, while the lounge area is the perfect spot to relax, stroking your pup’s head as you watch a movie on the TV. Leading from the lounge is a balcony with a table and two chairs should you wish to enjoy some al fresco dining outside on a sunny day, with Fido sat contentedly beside you enjoying the view too. The master double bedroom is your sanctuary after a busy day and has ample storage for your belongings.
The waters and sandy beaches around Brightlingsea provide plenty of opportunities for memorable days out. While Brightlingsea Beach has a seasonal dog ban in place, canines are allowed to roam lead-free on large sections of Jaywick Sands Beach (10 miles) all year round. There are some lovely walks along the seawalls, giving your inquisitive pet the opportunity to sniff out the diverse flora and fauna that can be found in this picturesque corner of Essex. Set next to a babbling stream, National Trust property Bourne Mill (10.5 miles) welcomes dogs on leads.
