The place
Tucked away in Milford on Sea, Lymore Orchard is an enviable 15-minute walk from the sea and contained within its very own fenced kingdom. The cabin is a spacious getaway for two (and a four-legged friend) — with plenty of room to relax in the wood-clad surroundings. You run the risk of losing time here, disappearing into a book, cooking something fancy or just listening to birdcall out on the deck with a mug or glass of something. When night falls, trot a few steps with your dog in tow to the firepit, and kick back for a few hours — getting mesmerised by the lick of flames, and talking into the night. If you’re in the mood to loosen the muscles, pop into the hot tub, and sky watch for stars. With plenty of countryside walks on the cards, the coast in easy reach, and a number of dog-friendly pubs nearby, your dog will love this as much as you.
In the neighbourhood
- Milford-on-Sea, 15-minute walk. This coastal village has a long stretch of sand for dog walks, with no restrictions. If you’re after some food, head to the Smuggler’s Inn, The Lazy Lion, or The Beach House for a warm dog-friendly welcome.
- Lymington, 12-minute drive. Head to this town for a dog-friendly day out to Hurt Castle. You might even get to meet the two ‘castle dogs’, Poppy and Lily. For a bite to eat check out dog-friendly pubs, The White Hart and The Chequers Inn.
- Solent Way, 6-minute drive. This walk spans 60 miles of footpath. It’s mostly coastal, with some inland diversions, and has incredible views of the sea strait that separates the mainland from the Isle of Wight.
- Chewton Bunny, 14-minute drive. Go on the scenic walk from Highcliffe Beach (seasonal restrictions for dogs) to Chewton Bunny Waterfall. Once a secret pathway for smugglers to sneak contraband in from the coast, it’s now a beautiful little nature reserve.
