Situated within some stunning surrounding countryside, this excellently refurbished bungalow has been given a new leash of life with many contemporary features creating a truly fabulous getaway for those looking to relax in style with their wet-nosed pal in tow.

The bright and airy atmosphere combined with some stunning contemporary features makes the fabulous open-plan living, kitchen and dining room a space you and your pup can call home. Relax on a comfy sofa and enjoy the latest blockbuster on the Smart TV hung on oak batons whilst Rover curls up on the stylish pouffe by the window. After a long walkies, the adjoining kitchen/diner allows you to refuel in style, with plenty of room for your pup’s bowl. You won’t be able to resist the cosy, calming call of the king-size and twin bedroom, both as high quality as the rest of the bungalow. Rover wouldn’t turn his tail up at the stunning family bathroom either. The enclosed rear garden with a large lawn and outside seating is the perfect safe space for your pup to really sniff out their surroundings.

Sway is a quaint and tranquil little village situated in the ever-popular New Forest National Park, boasting a fantastic array of picturesque walking routes that your pup will go barking mad for, such as the Sway and Setthorns Loop right on your doorstep (0.5 miles away) showcasing the best of the New Forest’s landscape, finishing at Sway Train Station. Fetch a seaside adventure a little further afield along the stunning coastline close by and let your four-legged friend jump through the tide at Avon beach 9.5 miles before a walk together along the promenade stretching out towards Highcliffe where they can lead the way to the colourful beach huts or water sports activities.

Stayed for a midweek break in March with our dog. Excellent bungalow in very quiet road. Close to the pubs, cafe and shops and great walking nearby. Rooms are a really good size, bigger than expected from the photos and was immaculate. Garden very safe and secure for our dog to explore. Would definitely stay again!!
