This small-but-perfectly-formed couple’s retreat is a wonderfully romantic spot for a relaxing break with your loved one and pet. Spend satisfying days exploring the valleys and ancient woodlands of the South Downs National Park with your four-legged pal, followed by evenings having long soaks in the outdoor bath at your dinky accommodation. The hand-built shepherd’s hut has room for two lovers and their beloved canine companion seeking a restorative stay in the scenic Sussex countryside. Wheels attached to the outside of this rural hideaway create the appearance of a wagon, while its cheerful turquoise exterior immediately lifts your mood on arrival. Enter the stable door to the gloriously quaint interior, which has lovely wooden units, quirky vintage furniture and sweet mullioned windows. A complimentary breakfast hamper filled to the brim with local produce awaits, with other goodies are available in the farm shop 150m away. A pizza oven, fire pit BBQ are on hand for prepping culinary feasts to enjoy while your pet lets off steam in the enclosed lawned garden. After dinner, fire up the wood burner to create a snooze spot for your pet while you snuggle down with a film or a book. You’ll be in a gloriously remote spot 1.5 miles from a doggie-welcoming gastropub where you can look forward to a drink or a meal with your pet in tow. Wonderful walkies start right from your front door. The glorious Saddlescombe Farm, 1 mile away, is a National Trust hamlet comprising pretty chalk grasslands and lovely sea views – dogs on leads are welcome. Brighton, the popular seaside town, is just 7 miles away, while the coastal resorts of Shoreham-by-Sea (7.5 miles) and Worthing (12.5) are also attractive options for dog-friendly day trips.
