This Hampshire retreat offers comfortable, contemporary accommodation that is perfect for a solo escape or couple’s retreat with your loyal canine chum by your side. Ideally situated in the village of Brockenhurst, a superb selection of dog-friendly shops, delis and restaurants can be accessed from your doorstep, making both dining in and eating out a real pleasure. And, surrounded by the beauty of the New Forest National Park, you can easily swap village streets for wooded trails whenever you please, walking betwixt ancient trees as your pup excitedly sniffs out all the exciting new scents.
A first-floor apartment, this modern townhouse features a large, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The ideal base to return to after days of play, you can pick up local ingredients from the village and cook up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen, complete with a dishwasher. On grey days, an indoor dining table provides a lovely setting for meals at home, while on sunny days, you can make use of the rooftop terrace, accessed from the bedroom. When you’re ready to rest feet and paws, the lounge area has a sofa and TV. Rounding off the apartment is a shower room with shower and WC.
One of the best destinations in the UK to holiday with your dog, the New Forest National Park comprises a mosaic of lowland heaths, ancient woodland, beautiful grasslands, pastoral countryside, and salt-kissed coast. Although there are many ways to explore, one of the best is on foot, with many walking trails and circular routes spinning off from Brockenhurst itself. A particularly popular walk from Brockenhurst is the walk to Blackwater Arboretum (3.5 miles by car), known as the Tall Trees Trail. Of course, you are also very well-placed to sample the nearby amenities, including a wine bar with wine-to-go downstairs!
