How often can you say there’s a gate to the beach at the bottom of the garden? At this charming apartment on the Sussex coast you’ll be slap bang next to the sea – there’s no better place to spend a holiday with your family and dogs. This ground-floor property in glorious Pevensey Bay has space for up to four humans and two doggy pals.
The decor in this sunny flat is inspired by the seaside, with cool sea blues and tasteful nautical-themed art. The spacious living area has a well-equipped kitchen, dining area and sofas for relaxing on in the evenings. Enjoy morning coffee with a view on the raised decking area, with a sea view that’s bound to delight young, old and waggy-tailed guests alike.
The adjacent beach is the obvious place to spend time; watch the dogs bury pebbles in the sand while you think about going for a dip. You’ll find a dog-friendly 16th-century pub less than 1 mile away where you can enjoy a pint in the large beer garden on sunny days. The castle ruins at Pevensey (1.5 miles), which can be visited with dogs on leads, give you a fascinating insight into the area’s history. Eastbourne (5 miles), a popular resort with antiques shops and a pier, can be seen from the end of the garden – you can walk there along the coast or take the train from Pevensey Bay. Bexhill-on-Sea (8 miles) is another great option, or head to Hastings (12 miles) for clifftop walks on the West Hill.
