1 / 15Black Pan Holiday Cottage
Lake, Isle of Wight
A ground floor apartment for two at Lake on the Isle of Wight, with its own enclosed garden, a lockable gate, an outside tap and two dogs welcome free of charge.
The owner of Black Pan Holiday Cottage has a background working with animals, and it shows in the details. This ground floor apartment at Lake, between Sandown and Shanklin on the Isle of Wight, is a dog friendly bolt hole for two adults and two dogs, and neither dog is charged for.
The garden at the back is the owner's handiwork in that respect. It is enclosed, with a lockable gate, a table and seating on the patio, and an outside tap for rinsing two sandy dogs before anyone comes indoors. There is a single step down to it from the apartment. Doggy extras and a welcome pack are waiting on arrival, and the apartment adjoins the owner's own home.
Inside, it is one level and carefully planned. The open plan room has a smart, space saving kitchen with a dishwasher, a sofa bed and a big television, and the double bedroom has a dressing table that works as a writing desk. It is adults only, no children under 16, which keeps it quiet: a place for a couple, two dogs and a week of beach, garden and early nights.
The nearest sand is moments away, reached by a flight of steps down from the cliff path near Lake station. From there the sea wall runs along the back of the beach in both directions, north to Sandown's pier and south to Shanklin and its chine, a long level walk that dogs take to readily. The rest of the island, from Osborne House to the Needles, is an easy drive.

Book with cottages.comFrequently Asked Questions
Is Black Pan Holiday Cottage dog friendly?
Black Pan Holiday Cottage is genuinely dog friendly, welcoming up to two dogs at no extra charge. The owner has a background working with animals, and the thought that has gone into the setup — an enclosed garden with a lockable gate, an outside tap for rinsing off sandy paws, and doggy extras waiting on arrival — reflects that.
Are dogs allowed at Black Pan Holiday Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, and nothing in the details suggests otherwise. It's always worth checking directly with the owner when you book to confirm availability for your dates.
What should I know before visiting Black Pan Holiday Cottage with my dog?
The apartment is on one level throughout, which makes it easy to navigate, and the enclosed rear garden has a lockable gate — handy for keeping dogs secure. There is a single step down from the apartment to the garden, and an outside tap makes it straightforward to rinse off after a beach trip. The cottage is adults only (no children under 16), so it tends to be a quiet, relaxed base for a couple and their dogs.
