Take your best furry friend with you on an Isle of Wight adventure at this fabulous cliff-top apartment, which has incredible sea views. Up to four guests can spend special time away with their favourite pet here. Relax inside the stylish property near Ventnor or unwind on the balcony together, taking in the sweeping coastal vistas. Head off on bracing walks across the Ventnor Downs with your happy hound by your side or let him run on sandy beaches and splash in the shallows.

Make your way into the immaculate apartment to find bright, airy accommodation to suit you and your pup. Enjoy the space offered by your splendid lounge, with its doors opening onto the balcony. Watch a DVD, play on the Xbox and let Fido pad in and out on warm days. Prepare tasty treats for him in the kitchen, which also has sea views, and serve homecooked meals to the rest of your group at the table. Find a handy washing machine in here for those beach and doggy towels, and luxuriate in the comfort of your two inviting bedrooms, each with an en-suite shower room. Take your pal for a last stretch of his legs before heading off to bed. Wake up to another glorious holiday morning and plan your next dog-friendly day over breakfast on the balcony.

Venture just over 1 mile from your apartment to Monks Bay, where four-legged beach-goers are welcome all year round. Play on the wide sands here when the tide is out. Stroll along the esplanade at Ventnor and pause for a cup of tea in a renowned cafe where happy hounds are as welcome as thirsty walkers.

The cottage is well located and the rooms have been well positioned ensuring the best use of views. Lack of parking is a problems, and for us the lack of a garden with our small dog was an issue.
