An inviting coastal cottage with an enclosed lawned garden, set a bones throw from the sandy shores of Felpham in West Sussex. This airy hideaway is a wonderful escape for small families or couples and their tufty-pawed pal. Cultured canines can admire the elegant medieval archways and historic stained glass windows adorning Chichester Cathedral (8.5 miles) before curling up for a snooze by the flickering wood burner while the humans toast with a tipple.
This charming abode features a bright interior with soft neutral tones, large social spaces, and polished wooden furniture. Towel off sandy paws in the hallway then step into the homely lounge/diner. Throw another log on the fire and flop onto the sofas with a post-adventure snack. In summer, throw open the patio doors to let the balmy breeze drift inside. Grab a bottle of fizz then mark your special occasion with a celebratory supper at the elegant antique-style dining table. Keen cooks can whip up an evening spread with their furry sous chef pottering by their feet in the crisp shaker kitchen. Slip into the soft sheets of two homely bedrooms. Choose from a nautical-inspired en-suite king and an airy twin. Leading from the twin is a light-flooded conservatory. Gather the pack for a leisurely breakfast spread or step outside to bask in the morning sun. Gear up for some ball-chasing antics on the enclosed lawn before venturing out for the day.
Fun-loving dogs can crash through waves and scamper along the pebbly shoreline of Climping Beach (4.5 miles). Settle in to scoff a delectable brunch with the dog-loving locals in the heart of Chichester (8 miles) then set noses twitching with a saunter through the fragrant grounds of West Dean Gardens (15 miles).
