A dog is standing in the doorway of the boot room with the tide going out behind it, declining to come further until somebody deals with its feet. Anchorsholme sits down a quiet lane on the bank of the River Wyre at Hambleton, dog friendly for six with a single dog allowed, and the front door opens straight into that boot room, which for a house on a marsh is the right way round.

Past it the place opens up: a lounge with high ceilings and bi-folds to the garden, a kitchen and dining space with a breakfast bar built for a crowd, and a snug at the back with a second wood burner. Three bedrooms above all look out over the river and two have bathrooms of their own. There is an outside WC by the garden, which sounds like nothing until a wet dog is mid lawn.

Six people, one dog, and a river along the foot of the garden. The Wyre Way runs across the lane, so the day's first walk takes no driving at all, and the marshes it crosses hold enough birds to be worth it. The garden is enclosed, with lawn enough to run a dog on and the hot tub at the far end. Families who want the coast without the volume of it do well here.

Blackpool is near enough for a day out and back, with the tower, the Pleasure Beach, the zoo and a long promenade. North the sand runs quieter at Cleveleys, Rossall and Fleetwood, where a ferry crosses to Knott End. Inland the Trough of Bowland climbs into empty country. Away from the central resort front, these beaches take dogs the whole year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Anchorsholme dog friendly?
Yes, Anchorsholme welcomes one dog alongside up to six guests. The house is well set up for it too — there's a boot room right at the front door, an enclosed garden with enough lawn to run a dog on, and the Wyre Way footpath crosses the lane directly opposite, so walks start the moment you step outside.
Are dogs allowed at Anchorsholme year round?
The property itself is available with your dog throughout the year. The nearby beaches at Cleveleys, Rossall and Fleetwood are also dog friendly year round, as they sit away from the busier central resort areas — useful to know if you're planning a coastal day out during summer.
What should I know before visiting Anchorsholme with my dog?
The house allows one dog, so it's worth confirming that before you book if you're travelling with more than one. On the practical side, the boot room at the entrance makes a real difference after walks on the marsh — there's also an outside WC by the garden, which comes into its own when a wet dog is mid-lawn and you'd rather not trail them back through the house.
