1 / 16The Beach Retreat
Chapel St Leonards, Lincolnshire
A two bedroom bungalow for four in Chapel St Leonards, about a minute from the sand, with an enclosed back garden, a multi-fuel burner and two dogs welcome.
Chapel St Leonards runs down to the North Sea, and The Beach Retreat sits so close to the end of it that the sand is about a minute on foot. It is a two bedroom, dog friendly bungalow for four in the village, with two dogs welcome, a doggy welcome pack, and an enclosed back garden for them to come home to.
That garden is fenced all round, with a sitting-out area and furniture, and it is private to the bungalow. It is where two dogs go while the car is emptied and where the morning coffee goes afterwards. The front door is up two steps, and everything beyond it is on the ground floor: an open living room with a multi-fuel burner, the dining table and kitchen, a king size room, a twin, a shower room and a separate toilet.
The detail a dog owner will want is which sand to head for. The owners point dogs to the stretch beside the North Sea Observatory, a five minute walk, where the building on the front has a cafe that welcomes dogs as well. Out early, along the tideline, breakfast at the Observatory, then home to the garden and the burner lit later on.
North of the village the dunes run on to Anderby Creek, a quieter beach backed by dunes and a good morning's destination. Inland the Lincolnshire Wolds lift in rolling chalk country, and there is riding at Hogsthorpe. Two dogs will spend most of the week within sight of the water.

Book with cottages.comFrequently Asked Questions
Is The Beach Retreat dog friendly?
Yes, The Beach Retreat is dog friendly and welcomes up to two dogs. They'll arrive to a doggy welcome pack and an enclosed private back garden — a proper base for a dog holiday, with the beach less than a minute's walk away.
Are dogs allowed at The Beach Retreat year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions, so it's worth checking directly with the owners if you're planning a visit at a particular time of year. What is clear is that it's set up as a proper dog-friendly let, with the enclosed garden and proximity to the beach making it a good option whenever you go.
What should I know before visiting The Beach Retreat with my dog?
The bungalow takes a maximum of two dogs, and the front door has two steps up to it — everything inside is on the ground floor from there. The owners recommend heading to the beach beside the North Sea Observatory, about a five minute walk, where the café on the front also welcomes dogs. The enclosed back garden is private to the bungalow, so it's a useful spot to settle the dogs while you unpack or wind down after a walk.
