Is Belmont dog friendly?

Yes, Belmont welcomes up to two dogs and has been set up with them genuinely in mind. The enclosed lawned garden means your dogs can head outside freely from the living room's patio doors without needing to be put on a lead, and the owners leave doggy extras for your stay.

Are dogs allowed at Belmont year round?

The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and as a self-catering bungalow it operates as a year-round base. It's always worth confirming directly with the owners if you're planning an off-season trip.

What should I know before visiting Belmont with my dog?

The bungalow is all on one level with just one step up to the front door, which is worth knowing if you have an older or less mobile dog. The garden is fully enclosed and lawned, so it's a safe space for dogs to roam freely, and the surrounding area — including the Ribble Estuary National Nature Reserve and the dunes at Formby — offers plenty of walking and beach time nearby.

Belmont is a detached bungalow in the village of Hesketh Bank, on the south side of the Ribble estuary, renovated in 2020 and light and airy throughout. It is a dog friendly base for four people and two dogs, with everything on one floor and an enclosed lawned garden behind it.

That garden is the main event for the dogs. It is lawned and fully enclosed, with a patio, garden seating and a barbecue, and the living room's patio doors lead directly onto it, so the dogs are out and back without a lead ever being clipped on. There is one step up to the front door and nothing else to climb, which suits an older dog as well as a young one.

Inside, the open plan room has a breakfast bar, a coffee machine and a dishwasher, and there are two bedrooms, a double and a three quarter double, with a sofa bed for extra flexibility. The owners leave doggy extras. It is a straightforward, comfortable place, the sort of bungalow that lets a couple or a small family and their dogs simply get on with a week of marsh, sand and early suppers.

The Ribble Estuary National Nature Reserve is on the doorstep, 5,000 acres of salt marsh where hundreds of thousands of wading birds and wildfowl feed, with Hesketh Out Marsh close by and Martin Mere a short drive inland. Southport and its pier are within easy reach, and the dunes and pinewoods at Formby make a long day out on the sand with the dogs.
