Located in Southbourne, a vibrant suburb of Bournemouth, this gorgeous apartment sleeps six guests and one four-legged chum. You’ll be perfectly placed to explore some of the stunning paw-friendly beaches the area has to offer, including Hengistbury Head (2.5 miles away) and Highcliffe (5.5 miles away). There are also some wonderful woof-friendly attractions nearby, including Dorset Heavy Horse Farm Park (15.5 miles away).
Head up the stairs to the first floor, where you’ll find a stylish open-plan lounge/diner. The space is light and bright, with ample space for you to spread out and relax during the holiday. The kitchen has a quirky American diner theme, with a chic breakfast bar and stools as well as additional diner-style seating in the window overlooking the garden. There is a handy utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer, so you can easily deal with all your dog-walking gear. To the front of the property is a beautifully maintained garden, where Rover can potter around, and a patio area for al fresco dining on a summer’s evening.
Enjoy a peaceful walk on the south-facing pebble beach at Hengistbury Head, where woofers are welcome all year. Afterwards, grab a refreshment at the cafe; four-legged visitors are allowed in the outdoor seating area and there’s a doggy drink station. Marvel at the spectacular architecture at Highcliffe Castle, where you can amble through the pretty woodland and immaculate gardens. When you’re done, stroll down to the beach and admire the fabulous views across to the Isle of Wight. For a fun day out, journey to Dorset Heavy Horse Farm Park. As well as the opportunity to meet the 20 rare breed heavy horses, there are pony rides for the kids and they can feed the animals. Canine guests are welcome in most areas.
