Retreat to this gorgeous waterside lodge with your nearest and dearest, plus your favourite canine friend. Sleeping two guests, the one-bedroom hideaway, which comes with a hot tub, nestles beside a lake within leafy grounds near Hareplain, 2.5 miles from Biddenden in Kent. In an ideal location for exploring the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with your four-pawed pal, the enticing abode is also close to beauty spots and attractions where pup pals can join you.

Make your way into this gorgeous cabin to find a warm welcome for pups and people. Find dog towels and even a bed for your chum to ensure he feels right at home. Head through to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner to pull the glass doors back onto the deck so you and your happy hound can wander outside or take in the scenic lake views. Prepare romantic dinners for two and feed your furry friend over in the kitchen area too. Settle on the sofas to watch TV or tune into the wildlife cameras situated in the grounds as your cheerful chum stretches out. Settle him for the night then amble through to your sumptuous king-size bedroom, which comes with a fabulous free-standing bath and en-suite WC. Open the doors in here and relax in the hot tub. Take your energetic pal for a stroll around the grounds in the morning. Return for breakfast on the deck; later on, grill supper out on the patio BBQ. There is access to a shared utility cabin.

Plan a trip to the National Trust’s impressive Sissinghurst Castle Garden, 3 miles away, where four-legged walkers can explore the grounds. Take a trip together on the Kent and East Sussex Railway where waggy-tailed passengers are also very welcome.

Amazing stay and everything we wanted it to be. We stayed in the Boathouse which was of a very good size, very clean, comfortable and everything had been thought of to make our stay as relaxing as could be.

We stayed here on our mini-moon with our dog and had a great time. The views and location are wonderful and the cabin itself is well kitted out and very relaxing. The immediate area around the cabin was great for the dog to explore while we were in the hot tub and the surrounding areas also brilliant for walking with a few pub stops! The owners areRead more attentive, whilst also making sure you have your own space. Massively recommend. Hide

The Boathouse was amazing. Everything you could need was supplied. Even a pot of mixed herbs and spices to aid in cooking. The owners have truly tried to think of everything. The cabin is so comfortable and the peace and quiet and view over the lake are just so relaxing. We will definitely be back.
