Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 8 - Middleton-on-Sea, West Sussex

This brilliant, beach-side home is perfect for reuniting with family and friends for a coastal getaway. A private path leads to the beach so you can enjoy sandy sunrises, sunsets over the ocean and salty days. The bubbling hot tub, heated swimming pool (May – end of September) and large garden promise to keep you entertained come rain or shine and give you the warm welcome home you deserve after adventurous days outdoors.

Sleeping eight guests over four bedrooms, this stylish home is a top destination if you have a beloved four-legged friend on holiday with you. Keeping an eye on your canine companion’s antics couldn’t be easier in the open-plan living space. On heading inside, make your way to the contemporary kitchen where you can stash your goodies and pop the kettle on.

A coffee machine and wine cooler promise to see you through from dawn ‘til dusk and the breakfast bar is a great communal spot to gather with a mug or a glass of something. Great for catering for all kinds of nights, this home has a fabulous light, airy lounge/diner with a pebble effect gas fire and garden views through the large windows. A second snug area has a trio of sofas, large TV and games consoles, perhaps a place for younger guests to stay entertained whilst you relax with your beverage of choice.

If nights are balmy, step outside after dinner and enjoy al fresco digestifs on the decking, a dip in the pool or a soak in the hot tub - perfect for unwinding in after long days. Those long days call for peaceful nights and with four delightful first-floor bedrooms, each guest is promised just that. If you’re lucky enough to command the master room, you’ll enjoy an en-suite bathroom with roll-top bath and your own balcony – a recipe for a relaxing morning with an al fresco coffee and a soak in the tub.

For a more energetic start to your day, bounce on the trampoline or challenge guests to a game of croquet. Off-road parking is available for four cars.
