Pet Friendly Holidays Sussex

This hidden gem lies secluded in a stunning location with panoramic views of Bewl Water literally on its doorstep. A thoughtful conversion of a former hop picker’s cottage, it provides contemporary accommodation of a high standard. Guests can enjoy the comforts of a glowing wood burner when evenings become chilly, and on warmer evenings, twin terraces provide the opportunity to sit back and absorb the lakeside view after a day’s cycling or walking along the plethora of footpaths, and being able to enjoy a sundowner as the setting sun changes the glowing colour of Bewl Water before your eyes. The surrounding Bewl Water is the largest stretch of water in the south east, so you can spend a day fishing, sailing, canoeing or wind surfing. If dry land is more your style, bring your own bicycle (or hire one) and cycle around Bewl - the village of Wadhurst is within easy reach, where pubs, restaurants and shops abound. Many notable National Trust gardens and houses are within an easy drive, including Scotney Castle, Sissinghurst, Chartwell, Batemans, Knole House and Bodiam Castle. Brighton, Rye and Camber Sands are also within easy reach of this little jewel of Sussex heaven. Beach 22 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 2 miles.

Situated in the grounds of the family farm (non-working), they are only 100 yards from the village of Compton with village shop and tea room with free wi-fi access. Enjoy peaceful walks along a bridle path leading to the South Downs Way, 2 miles designated as a National Park. The historic cathedral town of Chichester lies 10 miles away, with its cobbled streets adorned with tea rooms and restaurants, and the ornate cathedral. Scenic boat tours can be taken around the harbour. Goodwood and Fontwell races or polo at Cowdray are all within a short drive. Portsmouth, with shopping and leisure facilities, within easy reach.

If you are looking for a peaceful and picturesque getaway in the countryside, look no further than Woodland Lodge in Sussex. This lovely property is located near the village of Rustington, the most north-westerly settlement in the county of Sussex. Rustington is a timeless, unspoilt rural gem that offers a wealth of history, heritage, and natural beauty.
You can easily spend a day exploring Rustington village, following the Ruston Borough Heritage Trail to uncover the rich history and learn how to read the buildings, streets, and public spaces for the stories they have to tell. You can also visit the local shops, artisans’ workshops, and galleries, where you can find unique gifts, pottery, woodcuts, prints, and more.
For a refreshing break, you can enjoy a delicious coffee, tea, or cake at one of the village’s cafes. You can also sample local produce and products at the Farmers Market, which runs on the first Saturday of the month in the Parish Hall. If you are feeling adventurous, you can venture out to the stunning coastal scenery around Rustington, where the coast of Sussex turns from facing east into the English Channel to face south into the Atlantic Ocean. There is a beautiful beach with a promenade, a children’s play area, and a sailing club. You can also walk along the South Coast Path, which offers some of the most dramatic and breathtaking landscapes on the path.
For a cultural and historical experience, you can visit Rustington Museum, which explores the village’s history from the Stone Age to the modern day with artefacts from throughout time. You can also admire the high tower of the Church of Saint Peter and Paul in Rustington, which dates back to the 12th century and contains some of the finest stained glass windows in Sussex.
Woodland Lodge is the perfect place to enjoy all that Rustington has to offer, and to relax in a comfortable and cosy environment.

The Pig Shed is a fantastic, luxurious studio apartment finished to the same high standard as the adjoining Burnside Cottage B&B. It has been awarded a Gold Green Tourism Award. Perfectly placed in the far north of Scotland between John O’Groats and Dunnet Head, The Pig Shed is a simply outstanding base from which to explore. Called The Pig Shed because the building was once home to a crofter’s pigs. It is now -you’ll be pleased to hear! - a luxury studio apartment that enjoys a sea and island view.
Set in the amazing big-sky landscape of Caithness you can see the Pentland Firth and the island of Stroma from The Pig Shed (and on a clear day you can see the Orkney Islands across the firth.). The accommodation is simple but brilliantly executed. Entering The Pig Shed there’s a helpful vestibule area which leads to the shower room and the main studio living space. The open-plan living space is beautifully finished and well-equipped for a self-catering holiday. It’s a place where a week or more would be very comfortable for a couple with dogs. Entering the main open-plan space there’s the kitchen/dining/living area first and the bedroom beyond over by the large rural and sea view window.
The local area is a treat for those visiting and staying at The Pig Shed. The Gill’s Bay ferry to Orkney is only half a mile away, so you can be over on the amazing islands within ninety minutes from The Pig Shed. Iconic John O’Groats is nearby and its neighbouring headland Duncansby is worth a visit – amazing seabirds and sea stacks. The Castle of Mey is a short drive away and so too is another RSPB hotspot, Dunnet Head. Dunnet Beach is only eight miles drive away and as well as being a beautiful stretch of sand is also an amazing surfing beach.
The towns of Thurso and Wick are only a short drive away and beyond the NC500 will take you to more outstanding places to see and visit. We urge you to book The Pig Shed and relax with the knowledge that you have booked a gem of a place to stay in the far north of Scotland. You’ll look forward to returning to The Pig Shed after days out exploring, and you’ll likely want to book again in the future as it’s such a welcoming, comfortable, and astonishing place to spend a short break or longer stay.
