Take two of your best furry friends with you to enjoy the exceptional comfort of this luxury holiday home at Highcliff in Dorset. Also sleeping 12 guests, the sumptuous, six-bedroom house could be perfect for a special group stay or celebratory break. Your perfect pups will adore the enclosed garden at the house, which also has an indoor swimming pool. Stroll less than 500 metres down to the beach, with sections where your canine companions can bound all year round. Return to gaze across the sea towards the Isle of Wight, while they doze quietly in a corner.

Usher pups and people into the reception hall. Settle in the lounge in front of the Smart TV or make your way into the chic kitchen, also with a Smart TV, to feed your happy hounds and organise dinner for everyone else. Lay the table for lively holiday meals in the dining room, then relax in the sunroom and pool room. Also at ground-floor level are a WC, utility room and a double bedroom with an en-suite wet room. Bid your four-legged friends goodnight before heading upstairs. Choose from a bedroom with two pairs of children’s bunks and an en-suite shower room, and three bedrooms, each with two double beds, fabulous views and an en-suite shower room. There’s also a king-size room, with a balcony, en-suite bathroom and some limited headspace, on the floor above. All the bedrooms have TVs. Wake up to magical vistas and set tails wagging by letting your faithful friends out into the lawned garden. Light the BBQ out here too. There’s plenty of parking at the house.

Stretch furry legs with trips into the New Forest, just 1.5 miles away. Highcliffe Castle Beach is also great for dogs as they can run free here without restriction – just watch them closely on the cliff paths.

The property is advertised as having 'five balconies all with far reaching views across The Solent'. In fact there are only 3 balconies and none have a full sea view, because this is obscured by a large clump of trees directly opposite the property. Our party feel that 'Island View' is an optimistic name for the property!

A great property with enough space for a number of families to have a great time. The enclosed safe gardens to the rear mean that children could be left relatively unsupervised while the indoor pool provided some great family fun. A double bedroom on the ground floor with wheelchair friendly bathroom and shower also gave a further benefit to some.
