Nestled in the sleepy hamlet of Colworth in a peaceful spot in the owner’s private grounds, you’ll be barking mad if you don’t fall head over heels for this idyllic bolthole that’s the ultimate romantic couple’s retreat. Find plenty of stick-throwing opportunities along the plethora of footpaths from the doorstep with your four-legged third wheel.
Wipe off mucky paws in the hallway before leading the way into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The neutral colour palette and homely touches give the space a true warmth which beckons you to hunker down on the comfy sofa and tired pups to curl up in their special blanket at your feet. Catch the latest blockbuster on the Smart TV before rustling up tasty treats and filling up your dog’s water bowl in the stylish kitchen; enjoy your feast seated around the dining table as your pup snoozes. Head upstairs to sleep in the en-suite double bedroom that ensures a dreamy rest before tomorrow’s walkies. Outside, playful pups can roam to their heart’s content on the enclosed lawned garden as you enjoy a glass of something chilled on the deckchairs.
There are plenty of scenic footpaths carving their way through the Sussex countryside, beginning from the doorstep to discover with your four-pawed pal. Those with a nose for nature will have a ball exploring the RSPB Pagham Nature Reserve, 5 miles away. Leave no stick unfetched by treating your pup to an afternoon bounding through the dune landscape of the sandy West Witterings Beach, 11 miles away, which boasts tail-wagging views across to the Isle of Wight. Take the lead to Chichester, 4 miles away, to meander around the quaint cobbled streets with your canine companion to sniff out the best local treats.
