This luxurious little hub for two promises the perfect place to stay for a romantic retreat filled with dog-walking excursions. An exceptional base for pup-loving couples, this Christchurch property welcomes two dogs and benefits from an enclosed courtyard space where canine companions can stretch their legs first thing in the morning and late at night. Situated next to the owner’s home and within walking distance of both the beach and the New Forest, you’re certain to sniff out some unrivalled adventures when holidaying here.
The annexed property is entirely open plan with French doors flooding the accommodation with light and boasting direct access to the outdoor space. Your beloved doggos will no doubt find a cosy spot to curl up in with their favourite beds and blankets, perhaps close to the coal-effect stove for that extra bit of warmth. You can put your feet up and watch TV from the sofa or settle into the double bed for a restful night. In the morning, a small but functional kitchenette provides everything you need to refuel with a hearty breakfast, including that all-important coffee machine.
Pack up tennis balls and a picnic filled with dog treats to set out for the day. Leave no stick unfetched in the vast and vibrant parkland of the New Forest National Park (3 miles) yet be sure to keep a close eye on your energetic bow-wows when approaching the wild ponies and deer that graze here! Offering your four-pawed pals the chance to run free and chase wildlife to their heart’s content, Mudeford Sandbank (3 miles) is the section of Christchurch’s beach where dogs are welcome year-round. A gentle stroll back to the property leads you past the cliff-top Steamer Point nature reserve and the impressive Highcliffe Castle (1 mile).
