1 / 20Herby's Retreat
Sutton-on-Sea, Lincolnshire
A bungalow at Sutton-on-Sea within walking distance of miles of sandy beaches, on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, with a spacious enclosed garden and two dogs welcome.
Miles of sandy beaches lie within walking distance of Herby's Retreat, a bungalow at Sutton-on-Sea that the owner sees as a lovely family retreat. Two dogs are welcome, there is a spacious enclosed garden for them, and the Lincolnshire Wolds begin close by for long country walks, so this dog friendly bungalow has coast and countryside within easy reach.
The hallway is the place to kick off sandy shoes. The kitchen has everything needed for a good meal, and the dining room has a spacious table for family suppers and a corner seat. At the rear, the lounge has comfortable seats facing a TV with Sky and Netflix, and its patio doors give onto the garden, so the lawn is only a step away whenever the dogs are ready for it. The double bedroom sits just off the lounge, the twin is up in the loft, and the bathroom is bright and airy.
The garden is the heart of a summer stay here. It is spacious and enclosed, with grass for outdoor games, room for a BBQ and a spot for a cold drink as the light goes, two dogs flat out on the lawn after a day on the sands.
Walk the miles of sand or follow the promenade from Sutton on Sea to Mablethorpe, where there are shops, cafes, amusements and pubs. Skegness has Natureland Seal Sanctuary and plenty more for a day out, and keen walkers have numerous coastal and wold walks to share with the dogs, with windmills, castles and market towns to explore inland and Lincoln and its cathedral further afield.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Herby's Retreat dog friendly?
Yes — Herby's Retreat welcomes two dogs, which is a generous allowance for a property that sleeps two people. The bungalow is set up with dogs genuinely in mind: there's a spacious enclosed garden they can access freely through the patio doors, and a hallway to shake off sand before it reaches the living areas.
Are dogs allowed at Herby's Retreat year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and the property is described as dog friendly without exception. For confirmation of availability at a specific time of year, it's worth checking directly with the host when you book.
What should I know before visiting Herby's Retreat with my dog?
The layout works well for dogs — the bedroom, bathroom and living space are all on the ground floor, so there's no navigating stairs with your pets in the evening. The fully fenced garden is grassed and large enough for a good run around, and Sandilands beach is just half a mile away, with open sand and typically very little crowd.
