Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Southbourne

a beautiful home in a stunning location. Mandalay had everything we needed for a weekend away. Very spacious accommodation with extensive outside space. Great value for money. we loved it.

Dave and Emma are the perfect hosts. They were so accommodating of our needs and super flexible in helping us to prepare for our stay and celebration. The property is beautiful, it’s peaceful and you feel right at home. Our teenage son and family children loved the games room as a ‘den’ to escape to whilst we enjoyed sitting on the deck with food and drinks. Dave and Emma have thought of everything, if they don’t have it then you don’t need it. The kitchen amenities were just fantastic, everything was there, clean and easy to use. The mobile signal wasn’t great this weekend and broadband struggled a little, but being surrounded by our favourite people, it didn’t matter too much. We would love to stay with our families again to enjoy this beautiful property. Thank you Dave and Emma again, so so much!

We hired this for a few days with family to celebrate my nans 70th birthday. Absolutely beautiful house and gardens and the facilities are amazing. We live locally so knew about the area but loved having a swimming pool, tennis courts and snooker table for all of us to enjoy. The lounge was bigger than we thought and comfortably sat all of us. We also received a helpful guide a few days before our stay which gave us all the information we needed. Overall a really lovely stay, thank you!

We had such a wonderful time! The house was perfect for our stay, really spacious, comfortable and clean. The hot tub was great and the house was so close to the beach (less than 5 min walk). Aimee and Paul were really helpful and responsive when we had questions. I would highly recommend booking a stay here!

Conker Lodge was just right for our stay. It was very comfortable, quiet and extremely well equipped. The garden was beautiful and a lovely space to sit and relax. We would highly recommend.

An absolutely gorgeous place to stay. The location was wonderful, you felt like you were in the middle of nowhere, despite there being a pub next door! Lots of walks or cycles from the door, yet 2 minutes from a main road. The house was beautifully decorated and great bedrooms, lovely linen and comfy beds, with fantastic bathrooms. Everything you needed to cook for yourself and great recommendations of things to do and places to go. We had ponies outside our garden! Paul was a great host, responsive and helpful, really welcoming and very kind regarding checking in and out. We were there to celebrate a few things and felt it was absolutely the place for that. The pub next door under new owners was very friendly but did not disturb us at all. Thank you Paul, we had a great stay and would highly recommend it.

We have just returned from the most amazing week staying at the bolt hole. The house and location were just perfect and exactly what we needed for our two young energetic boys and dog. We spent plenty of time in the stunning garden and relaxing in the hot tub. Thank you so much Claire and Buster for making us feel so welcome and especially for allowing us to meet all of the animals. Freddie and Bertie will keep these memories for life and they are already missing playing with the dogs ( especially Fred ) and saying hello to Bernard every morning through the gate. We will definitely be back to stay again in the future.

This was our third stay at The Coppice and once again it didn’t disappoint! The annex was spotlessly clean, and very comfortable, with everything that you could need for a relaxing break. Close to the sea and lots of dog friendly restaurants and cafes. We highly recommend this accommodation!

Had a lovely three night stay in Acorn hut. Spacious and very private outdoor space with a hot tub for relaxing. Bathroom facilities were clean and shower was great. The hut itself was cosy with everything you need for a few nights away. Big enough for my partner and I as well as our large greyhound. The host was lovely and helpful with advice about places to go and the surrounding area. Would definitely recommend a stay here for anyone looking for a peaceful spot.

Fabulous place to stay, had all we needed. Beautiful area of the country.

We were looking for somewhere in the New Forest area to celebrate our wedding anniversary with family. This house was perfect for us all, 8 adults and 5 grandchildren. The house is in a beautiful, quiet location which is exactly what we wanted. The house has everything you need and more, fully fitted kitchen with massive island and dinning table. All rooms were spotless as well as the many toilets and bathrooms. We stayed in the master bedroom which is very tastefully decorated. The swimming pool was a big bonus, perfect size and depth for our Grandchildren and very warm. It also had a padlocked gate to keep the little ones out when playing in the garden. Our host Katie was brilliant from start to finish keeping us updated on the stay and very responsive to messages. She provided a welcome food pack of sausages, bacon, bread and essentials which was really appreciated. Katie even took the time to let our grandchildren help her feed her horses. Can’t wait to return!

Me and my boyfriend spent two nights here the cabin was super cute and the outdoor area was lovely. Easy drive to national park where there was a village with cute pubs and tearooms. Beautiful scenery. 20mins from the coast which was lovelyyy!! Forrest right out the back of the cabin which you could then walk to a pub in 20mins or so ideally good to have a car but if your looking to have a relaxing stay and not leave this is perfect. BBQ set up and hot tub was lovely. Very peaceful.

Had an amazing stay for my daughter’s 2nd birthday can’t recommend it enough caravan was spotless and the site was amazing

We stayed at Sam’s place to celebrate my husbands birthday. From the start Sam was responsive, friendly, answered questions and gave some fab advice. When I made a request she did everything she could to make it happen. The caravan itself is in a lovely peaceful part of the park with easy walking distance to the woods for the dog to have a run and also to the beach where we wandered to the pub and then back for an ice cream. Sam clearly explained how everything worked, where everything was & what she was doing to make things perfect for her guests. Her guide for things to do was really helpful so our days were filled and never dull. I would call this caravan a proper family home, it does everything it’s suppose to so you can just relax and enjoy your holiday. When I had some sad family news, Sam went out of her way to make sure we were ok and that we didn’t need to rush out the caravan on check out, so if you want a proper family home from home that does what it says - visit here! 🩷

We had a lovely stay at Stag cottage and fully enjoyed the huge garden during our stay. Communications with Cindy were excellent and she was really quick to respond and keen to ensure our stay was the best it could be. It was most definitely a lucky find and we would stay there again in a heartbeat. 😊🦌❤️

What a wonderful peaceful location, with an abundance of wildlife visiting the enclosed garden with the star attraction being the red squirrels. The lodge was spotlessly clean, well maintained, quality furniture and very well equipped. Alison was an excellent host and we will definitely be returning. Sylvia, Nigel & Willow the dog.

It was a pleasure stopping at Sharon and Jon’s Shepherd Hut. It was part of their lovely house in an idyllic secluded area of Dorset, with easy access to the coast. Would highly recommend for those looking to get away.

My parter and I stayed at Ginny’s house the whole week with our little dog and we absolutely loved it. We felt immediately at home and the house has everything you need for a week away. Short walks from the high street and the beach. We are Really happy and looking forward to go back soon. Ginny was very friendly and very helpful throughout the week, I definitely recommend it.

Matthew’s place is the upper end of 5*. Pristine presentation, crisp linen, blankets and pillows. This is a boutique home. Matthew’s communication was regular, and with the right information at the right time. This is what you need to know now, and then next and next. Anyone who has not been to the New Forest, it is an eye opener. Absolutely stunning. Bieulieu is stunning with great walks and the New Forest is cycling Mecca!

We had a great few days in Southbourne. The flat is very smart and there are great sea views from the balcony. It's a fairly quiet neighbourhood most of the time but the beach is popular with locals when the sun comes out. The two pubs nearby are ok for a quick drink, but it's worth the 5 minute drive into Christchurch to find nicer watering holes and eateries. We had trouble finding a parking space a couple of times but even when we had to park on the sea front, we could still see the car from the flat. Tanyth was very proactive with communications, checking in with us prior to arrival and during the stay. We had no issues but I am sure she would have responded quickly if we had.

A truly special place. The pictures actually don’t do justice to how spacious it is, and how immaculate and well thought out it is, and the Wind in the Willows theme works perfectly in the peaceful surroundings of the riverbank. It’s a really calming and cosy place, and sitting eating breakfast by the riverbank was a joy. The spa bathroom is an extra treat on top. Chris and Judy were extremely proactive and we arrived fully informed with local recommendations and everything was easy to check in and out. We met Judy on the second day who very kindly greeted us and gave us more tips on things to do nearby. We hope one day to return!

Place was immaculate inside Clean tidy and looked after and bonus milk for a cuppa on arrival. Only down side about whole experience was upstairs Tennants were very loud and heavy footed on floor But on saying this I'd recommend this place for a break away walking distance to beach and multiple places for food and drink 👍👍👍

We had a lovely stay, hosts were so lovely and place was perfect for our little dog. Hot tub was completely secluded and outdoor seating was a lovely touch for having meals in the sun! Would love to come back someday, thank you for a great stay!

An ideal base to explore the area around Bournemouth, shops and eating places within a 2mins walk. Beach 5-10mins walk, a dog friendly beach nearby. We did a lot of walking but there are regular busses to get around the area. We would happily stay again if visiting the area.
