You’ll never forget summer evenings spent in this property’s delightful garden – a fabulous lawned area where kids and pets can play to their hearts’ content. Family-friendly and pet-approved, this handsome home on the edge of Southbourne accommodates four guests and one canine friend, making it the perfect choice for a small pack. This top-dog retreat is within effortless reach of Southbourne’s pristine coastline, promising long walks on the beach and games of fetch with sand beneath your pet’s paws. With both the New Forest (8 miles) and the UNESCO-listed Jurassic Coast (11.5 miles) close by, adventure-loving pups will find plenty to wag their tails at along this stunning stretch of England’s south coast.

This charming property is arranged all on one level; with everything you need close at hand. Let Fido explore and find the perfect spot to curl up – most likely in the inviting lounge, furnished with soft seating and a TV for cosy evenings in. Along the hall, the dine-in kitchen adds convenience to your stay, ideal for rustling up tasty dishes and slipping a treat or two to man’s best friend. Completing the interior are two restful bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. Outside, the large lawned garden is perfect for ball games and al fresco dining, and two private parking spaces complete the offering.

Grab the tennis balls and puppy treats and make your way down to the coast. Southbourne Beach lies just 1 mile away and, while certain sections hold seasonal pet restrictions, you’ll always find stretches where dogs are welcome year-round. From here, follow the coastal path to reach Bournemouth (4 miles), an invigorating seaside town brimming with dog-friendly attractions, from pier walks and Queen’s Park (3.5 miles) to plenty of welcoming pubs where you can relax at the end of the day.
