Description
Sengador is a rejuvenating, homely bungalow set within short walking distance of the beach at Highcliffe in Dorset.
The area offers something to suit all tastes, including seaside resorts, coastline and countryside, making this detached bungalow a comfortable getaway for friends or family seeking that much-awaited break.
Your downtime will be spent in the 1970s-style living/dining room, dotted with retro furnishings, an electric log effect fire and a TV, the perfect setup for a night of entertainment in front of the fire.
The immaculate kitchen sits adjacent to this; refreshing white units play host to all of the fixtures and fittings you will need to make your Dorset break a relaxing one, there is even a charming little breakfast bar to enjoy your morning brew at before the day begins.
Sengador offers three bedrooms, including a bright and airy double room with an en-suite, a super king-size bed with flexible zip/link beds and a delightful single room with an optional pull-out bed, perfect for the children.
This superb accommodation offers convenient sleeping arrangements to accommodate friends, families and couples alike.
The mild Dorset climate can be enjoyed from the comfort of your back garden; the children and dogs can run and play on the well-kept lawn while you kick back on the patio with a chilled drink and a good book.
A day by the beach is just a stone's throw from this holiday home, a fabulous spot to sunbathe, swim and simply appreciate the scenery on offer.
Highcliffe itself offers a wealth of fine shops, pubs and eateries as well as hosting a dramatic castle, the beautiful Steamer Point Nature Reserve and a golf club.
Nearby, you can travel along the Dorset Coast to reach the splendid town of Christchurch, and slightly further along rests the popular seaside resort of Bournemouth.
In the other direction along the Solent is picturesque Milford on Sea and Lymington is six miles, with the ferry to the Isle of Wight.
For your dose of awe-inspiring countryside, head inland to the New Forest National Park for ever-impressive walking and cycling country surrounded by wildlife and activities to enjoy.
A well-presented bungalow placed excellently for a seaside holiday with your loved ones.

What guests are saying
A lovely position.
The bungalow is well maintained and the accommodation comfortable. A little more information regarding the heating and operation of the fire in the lounge would be helpful for future clients, We enjoyed our stay and made the most of the weather.
Comfortable and convenient accommodation.
We have re booked for next year. Lovely garden only spoilt by instruction to dump dog poo in corner of garden. We did not comply but bagged rubbish and placed in local dog bin. This needs to be addressed! Somewhere to hang coats nr backdoor would be useful, especially on rainy days.
Hello thank you for your feedback which is really useful. We will put some heavy duty hooks near the kitchen door for guests to hang wet coats etc. This will also be somewhere to hang wetsuits to drain. Obviously how our guests dispose responsibly of dog poo is a personal decision. We are pleased you liked the bungalow enough to have booked a return visit, let’s hope the weather is kind and you don’t have to use the hooks! Best wishes Paula
We had a lovely stay at Sengador.
The property was clean & comfortable. It is in a brilliant location with a short walk to the beach & local amenities. We would definitely recommend staying here.
Thank you for your positive comments. We are delighted you had such a nice time and hope you will be able to return to Highcliffe at some point. Best wishes Paula
Nice property, Great location, lovely garden
Thank you for your positive feedback. We are very happy you enjoyed your stay
A very cosy bungalow in a quiet location just over the road from a path which leads down to the beach, so just perfect!
Bungalow is a good size and has all the amenities so feels like a home from home. Garden is secure and private, only negative being garden furniture is old and has not been well maintained. Happily stay again due to comfort and location of bungalow.
Thank you for your positive review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and hope you will return. We agree that the wooden seating in the garden needs replacing and are looking into doing this.
We had a really lovely time here, thank you.
The bungalow is comfortable and practical and there are loads of things to do nearby. The location is perfect as it is close to a major road but far enough away to be very quiet, and the beach is only minutes away and beautiful!
We are really glad you had a lovely time in Highcliffe and found the bungalow comfortable. Its proximity to the quiet beach is certainly a plus. We hope you will visit again.
Lovely holiday property- fabulous location - just a short stroll to the beautiful beach- garden was very nice and safe for our 2 dogs and the bungalow was very comfortable .
Thank you for your positive review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you will come to Sengador again.
Fantastic property in an excellent location.
Highcliffe is a brilliant place for a holiday: virtually on the beach, quiet residential area, local facilities within a short walk away and near to the New Forest and numerous coastal towns and villages. From the thoughtful free bottle of fizz and chocolate bars (free tv and coffee etc), to the large comfy beds and decent armchairs to the unusually large main tv (and 2nd tv), freshly mown garden areas and complimentary dog treats and voluminous pots, pans, trays, mugs, spares, library and games, this is a real home from home suitable for dogs and humans alike. We have now stayed in over 20 Sykes properties, and this is definitely one of our favourites. Thank you.
We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay in Highcliffe. We hope you will visit us again.
Lovely holiday home in a brilliant location.
Comfortable and homely with all utensils etc to hand. Plenty of space for a family to stay with a safe back garden for dogs. Short walk up to town for shopping, fish and chips etc also a short walk to the cliffs above the beach. Lots of paths to explore and lovely beaches, some dog friendly ones too which is handy. Enough parking on the drive for 2/3 cars, quiet neighbourhood. Park with playground just up the road. Easy drive to Christchurch and Bournemouth and Lymington/ New Forest in the other direction. Highly recommended and I'd definitely book again!
There is everything and more you need at this bungalow.
It is clean and homely. The beds are really comfy and plenty of hot water. The position is fantastic and so close to the beach, recreation park and high street. It has a lovely enclosed private garden with plenty of parking. Paula is super helpful.
Lovely, well equipped bungalow - just like a home from home.
The location was amazing - close to the beach, town and places to visit. The downsides were no comfortable seating outside and we would have loved to sit outside in the sun and the beds were not comfortable. The en suite bedroom mattress was very soft and the twin beds were not suitable for an adult!
Lovely homely bungalow, very clean and comfortable.
Very spacious. Nice secure garden (especially as our dogs are small. Lovely walks and a park nearby. Perhaps could do with renewing some of the crockery and cutlery as they are well worn (shows how popular this place is). Couldn't find a first aid kit, we needed a plaster or two.
It is a great bungalow and well situated and glad we have booked it for next year.
Louisa the cleaner was very helpful and friendly. A good holiday all round and sykescottages is great too. Thanks again
A well appointed exceptionally clean bungalow in an ideal location.
Everything we needed was on site and was very much home from home. Short walk to beach which was very peaceful at the time of our visit. Equally short walk to village with most of the essential services. Personal choice but we would have preferred a larger king sign duvet on the zipped and linked bed, however duvets provided were very cosy. Would highly recommend and definitely consider returning again.
As always perfect .
Lovely comfortable, extremely well equipped & spacious cottage .
In a wonderful position, with local amenities & coastal walks on your doorstep.I would recommend a visit to Highcliffe castle which you can walk to along the costal path . Good links to the New Forest & major towns & villages . We had a great week & will deffinatley return for another visit !!
Really enjoyed our stay in the well equipped Sengador.
Good location for visiting the New Forest, Poole, Bournemouth, Southampton and Portsmouth. Good access to the beach and dog friendly.
Amazing bungalow with everything you could need and more.
So near the beach. Very comfortable accommodation. Perfect we have loved our three stays here over the last few years. The best cottage we have found. Very very dog friendly with completely terrier secure garden ( you will understand this if you own one). Beds are getting a little hard maybe a refresh needed in en suite bedroom and twin ? Other than that we love it !
Lovely property in a quiet area and close to the beach and the New Forest.
Everything was available to make the stay comfortable and plenty of information to hand. Would thoroughly recommend
Wonderful location very close to the beach.
Clean warm and inviting. Stayed several times and always the same.
We had a super holiday.
The garden was ideal for our toddler and dog -fully enclosed and plenty of shade in different parts. The bungalow was very comfortable and had everthing we needed. Short walk to the shops, yet very quiet. Just across the road was a steep path down to the shingle dog friendly beach, ideal for walks along by the sea with lovely views. (not suitable for prams in places) We loved going up to the castle for coffee and dorset apple cake! There was a great park 5 min from house too for kids and dog ball games. It had a really well equipped children's play park. The location was ideal for trips put to The New Forest and Mudeford ferry. Overall we would thoroughly recommend a holiday here! Thanks
Very comfy and well equipped.
Perfect location for the beach and New Forest. Good parking and a lovely private garden.
We thought the property was comfortable and quite well equipped however outside less so.
Lack of clean seating in a sunny area in the rear garden, bushes, hedges etc looked short of maintenance, garage down spout was blocked and over flowing (I cleared the blockage).
Thank you for your helpful feedback. We are glad you found the bungalow clean and comfortable. Sorry you found the downpipe blocked and thank you for clearing it.. Those pesky leaves get everywhere. The bungalow is pretty much fully booked for the whole year which can make major outdoor maintenance tricky. We do cut the hedging and shrubs two or three times a year and indeed are able to do this next week. So sorry you visited before the tidy up. We hope the state of the garden did not spoil your stay in Highcliffe.
Lovely stay again.
Fantastic location, so close to dog friendly beach. Comfy and clean bungalow with nice garden. Coming back next year.
The bungalow was very spacious, clean and well maintained.
Lovely location very close to the beach. Not good if you struggle to walk the beach paths have steps and slopes. We and are dog Nell absolutely loved it.
Always enjoy my holiday at Sengador.
Love the property and the area. Had a small problem that was dealt with immediately by a very friendly owner.
Such a well located property, comfortable and extremely well equipped.
Just had another fantastic holiday at Sengador. Couldn't ask for more.
This is our second visit.
This is a perfect place to stay. Feels like home, it is warm, comfortable and very well equipped. It is in wonderful position. The garden is perfect for the dogs. Have booked for next year already.
Another really comfortable stay at Sengador.
It’s perfect for a family holiday and the location is fabulous, so close to beaches and New forest. Thank you once again.
Really enjoyed our holiday at Sengador.
Going back next week, so must be good. Made some great happy memories with very nice weather .
We love sengador .
Good location Comfortable Everything we need for a fantastic holiday.
A lovely place for friends to relax and enjoy.
Everything there you need and nice and warm.
As always , perfect holiday.
Dog friendly , big garden(enclosed) Well equipped kitchen. Comfy beds. Lovely hot water . Location great for beach across the road, Mudeford 5 min drive. Highcliffe castle. So many beaches nearby and of course New Forest.
We enjoyed our holiday and have booked to go back next year.
The property is a little dated although comfortable.
It is well situated in Highcliffe for the beaches, local amenities and access to surrounding areas. The owner contacted us prior to our visit regarding a minor issue and we had cause to contact her again regarding a problem with the heating. This was resolved quickly and satisfactorily. Her attention was much appreciated. We would return to Sengador but it is fully booked for the dates we require!
We loved everything about this cottage and its location.
We would have rebooked like most visitors do if it wasn’t for our journey involving the wretched M25!! We were happy and comfortable here. Apart from Sengador and its garden being being perfect, the proximity to amazing views and dog walks along the cliffs were just opposite the property. Thank you to the owners for letting this calm oasis.
We thought this holiday property was fabulous.
It was very comfortable in a quiet street. It was really well equipped and the welcome book explained very well where everything was. The garden was really secure and great for children and dogs. Also brilliant about this property is it's location. The beach, a great playground with green space and the village with restaurants and bars, takeaways and supermarkets were all within 5/10 minute walk. There were so many things to see and do within a 30 minute drive and being on the edge of the New Forest just made this property and area even more special. We usually like to explore somewhere different every year but if we were to return to anywhere this would definitely be the place. I think it's fair to say that we absolutely loved our stay at Sengador.
Lovely location close to the beach and the New Forest.
The bungalow had everything you would need for your pet friendly stay. Large comfortable lounge/dinning room and two double bedrooms, with a smaller bedroom with two singles. If you don’t like firm pillows then suggest you bring your own from home. All clean and tidy with lovely treats for everyone left by the owners. Thank you
We had a great stay in this homely bungalow.
Lovely secure garden for the dog. Comfy beds and good shower and bathrooms. Great location , less than 5 minutes walk to the beach . Good restaurant and bar 5 minutes walk. Everything you could need in the kitchen, spacious lounge. We liked it so much we rebooked for next year
Thank you for your very positive review. We are really glad you enjoyed your stay in our bungalow and found it easy to get to all the facilities Highcliffe has to offer. Delighted you will be back
Sengador is a great bungalow.
Opposite the walk down to beach. Walking distance to local park and shops. Very clean and comfortable . Well equipped kitchen. Good sized enclosed garden for my dog.
would have liked a couple of soft sit up chairs for the garden comfort in the sun
Lovely bungalow, very clean and had everything we needed.
Very close to the beach, lovely garden as well
Property was well maintained and had a lovely garden well placed for walks along the beach also shops.
would recommend 5 stars for property which had everything a holiday property should have , thank you for a great holiday
Another great week spent at Sengador .
Warm, comfortable and everything you need for a holiday home. Lovely neighbours, great location for dogs and humans. Would recommend highly. See you in June.!
What a wonderful holiday home.
There is everything you’d need and more. Don’t worry if you forget anything as it will be there! . It is warm, cosy and homely. The location is amazing with access to the beautiful beach across the road. Local shops are easily within walking distance with a varied amount of shops. Owner couldn’t have been more helpful. Would highly recommend and will be booking again.
Perfect
This bungalow is perfect for our needs.
Clean, comfortable, warm and in a good position for beach, town and park. Ideal for walking the dog. Back home now our little dog is missing the beach walks.
Thank you for your kind words. Really glad you had such a happy time. See you again in 2023.
Brilliant location for amenities and beach.
Nice fully enclosed garden for dogs. Warm air heating bit hit and miss thoughout bungelow - bathroom chilly when in bath/shower. Bed in main bedroom although fairly comfortable sleep was disturbed due to the two single duvet's on a super king bed so did not cover you and they were thin summer ones. Need a full duvet. No large throw in wardrode as stated in information pack. Need to re think the joss sticks in every room - within an hour of arrival we had bad headaches due to this hench all went in the cupboards as so over the top in smell.
Dear Mrs C I am sorry to hear that you did not find the bedding sufficient in the main bedroom. It was a considered decision to use two single duvets as some guests have found a large 0ne restrictive ...... also putting the cover on a superking solo is a challenge! I do appreciate that the duvets are 10.5 tog and have a super light filling. I'm really sorry you were chilly. There are blankets in the wardrobe and as you mentioned somewhere there is a large grey throw for that bed .... things do get moved. The warm air heating should not have been a problem. It is pretty instant and every room has vents which can be operated manually I apologise that the reed diffusers caused you both to have headaches . My husband does not like them either. I will reduce the numbers, maybe just use them in the bathrooms. Thank you for your feedback, best wishes Paula
What a great cottage brilliant location and very comfortable.
Rooms are airy and large. We have already booked for next year ! Please could you let the owner know you can’t turn the electric off for the on suite shower and it does seem to have very hot water. It maybe worth checking the top oven too as it didn’t seem to heat up very well. Many thanks
Comfortable and homely.
Perfect for someone like myself with dogs. I have already rebooked.
This was our second visit to this property, and it was as good as before!
The bungalow is so conveniently situated for the beaches, shops, takeaways, etc. and is on a quiet close. Our little Shih Tzu "Pepe" absolutely loved his daily walks! We cannot visit next year, but are certainly planning to return in 2024!
We are so glad you all enjoyed your second visit to our bungalow. Thank you for your positive review and we look forward to welcoming you back in 2024 Paula
Perfect location for a lovely beach, great for dogs and children.
Very nice place to stay.
Thank you for your positive review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay
really comfortable and clean bungalow, second visit and probably more to come.
Easy access to Highcliffe and shops and pub and cafes. steep walk to clean and friendly beach although for us a very steep walk back but not the fault of Sengador's.
Lovely bungalow, in a fantastic position.
My 83 year old dad loved walking to the shops to get his paper every morning and sitting in the lounge watching the sea. Great walks on the beach for the dogs. Really kind and much appreciated the bottle of Prosecco left in the fridge. Very peaceful . Will definitely book again. Thank you for a wonderful week.
Another great stay at Sengador.
So glad that we have already booked for next year (will be our 3rd visit). Bungalow as good as always, everything you need and so close to beach and all amenities. Welcome gifts much appreciated.
Lovely property great position near the beach very clean and comfortable everything we needed lovely area
Lovely, comfortable property, would definitely come back here
Delighted with facilities and location, would definitely try to re book.
Comfy and homely.
We had a very lovely holiday with our two rescue dogs. Thanks for sharing your family’s holiday home with us.
Lovely bungalow in a great place.
Clean and comfortable. Garden brilliant for dogs, fully enclosed and safe.
Sengador is in a great location.
Dog friendly enclosed garden. Clean and comfortable. Second time there and hope to return again . Being a bungalow it was great for us as we are old fogies .!!! Would recommend.
Location perfect.
Beach quite a steep walk down but only took about 10 mins. Walks along the beach to mudeford. Accommodation clean, spacious and comfortable. A park at the back, high street very near with good eateries We have booked again for December
We have had a lovely week, obviously helped by the weather, but the accomodation was first class in all aspects.
Hope to return asap.
Ideally situated for the beach and high street, with a park just around the corner so fantastic for dog owners.
as we are in the 'older' age group perhaps informing that the shops are about 10 to 1 mins walk away, but otherwise all as explained and the walk to the beach is very convenient
Sengador is one of the best holiday bungalows we have stayed at.
Property perfectly located to beach and other nearby walks, also to local amenities. Bungalow had everything we needed and we have already booked for next year.
Such a lovely property, very homely and comfortable.
Great location, close to the beach, the town, pubs and restaurants. We loved the 'retro' feel. Will definitely visit again.
This spacious bungalow is in a marvellous location for dog walkers, just 2 or 3 minutes walk to the clifftop path which leads down to the shoreline, from where there are long walks to the east and west.
It is also very well situated in a quiet area but just a short drive from Mudeford and Hengistbury Head to the west and Barton on Sea, and Milford on Sea to the east. Highly recommended!
This bungalow is in a very peaceful setting but close to the shops of Highcliffe.
There are some lovely walks nearby, although the access to the beach just across from the property is quite steep! This was a very comfortable period property.
We love this bungalow, this is our third visit and we are not the sort of holidaymakers to return to the same place time and time again.
..!! Comfortable, accommodating, great location, we never want to leave. Thank you - no doubt we will be back again as this little spot really attracts us!
The cottage was wonderful.
and so near the sea we will be going back.
this bungalow is amazing.
spotless and so comfortable. the kitchen has everything you could need and the bedrooms are large and beds so the best we have ever slept on while on holiday. The area is quiet and so close to the beach you can hear the waves. i would recommend this to anyone, although if it was mine i wouldnt let anyone else use it
It was such a delight to stay in this lovely property ,very comfortable and all you needed .
The situation was excellent to in a lovely area ,nice neighbours ,property well cared for .
Glad we chose the week, we got after reading of previous dissatisfaction of previous clients experience with the building work happening on property adjacent, perhaps the builders had listened to advice yes we had some noise but, when i put my garden chair out in the garden after lunch the radio was turned off, which was much appreciated.
Had a lovely time being able to walk to the shore. Property was so well full of equipment you could not ask for more. I was disappointed to find no hairdryer, as i had got used to all of sykes cottages being supplied without asking the question. The question of cleanliness is difficult to answer, because previous holiday makers let dogs sit on furniture, so the owners would need to look a little more closely when the change over happens.
Many thanks for your feedback and we have now have a hairdryer in the property.
The bungalow is very nice, lovely kitchen fully equipped with everything you need, everywhere was clean, nice comfortable beds, and there were raincoats and umbrellas for you to borrow if needed, you can see the sea from the front window and is just a short walk down to the beach, the back garden is fully enclosed so if you have a dog there's no way it can get out, would really recommend this Bungalow
The bungalow was in a lovely location , you could see the sea between the flats opposite and the cliff top just over the road which was ideal for dog walking .
Easy walking access to local shops . Would definitely return here .
Lovely bungalow.
So nice to go somewhere where there is enough kitchen equipment to cook a full dinner. Plenty of everything, from mugs, plates, cutlery and lots of little extras which was appreciated. It is in a lovely location near to the beach which the dog loved. The walk to Muddiford is very pleasant. The only drawback (which was nothing to do with the bungalow) was that there was nowhere much to eat in Highcliffe where you could take the dog in. The pub where we could take the dog did not serve food. The bus service was good though so we could travel further afield.
Lovely spot, really perfect - great cottage, great location and we also had good weather!
!
Bungalow was great but really could do with some outdoor lights especially for arrivals in the dark and having a dog in the garden.
Other than that great facilities, brilliant location for beach and highcliffe. We were visiting family locally so ideal for us. Thanks
The bungalow was really spacious, comfortable and cosy.
The "welcome" wine and chocolate was much appreciated. The location was ideal for walking our dogs on the beach everyday though the access to the beach is via steps so may not be suitable for everyone. It was only a short walk into Highcliffe high street where you could find a Co-op, Tesco express, butchers and various cafes and take away shops. Would certainly recommend to anyone with dogs wanting a seaside holiday.
This holiday cottage exceeded our expectation.
From the great setting and ease to the beach, the comfort of the accommodation and the quality of the furnishings. Easy dog walking from the door and many and varied eateries within a short distances A perfect place to relax and unwind. Thoroughly recommended,
Had problems with a smell from the drains in the ensuite, meaning we could not sleep in that room all holiday.
Was a lovely bungalow big clean everything needed and near cafes shops and pubs an outside light would benefit people with dogs as sideway and garden dark needed torches As my dogs sleep in my bedroom (not in my bed)was dissappointed to find a note on lounge door stating no dogs beyond this point as they wake me when they need to go out bit awkward That was not in the advert when I booked Other than that good
Good sized bungalow in a lovely location.
Local shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants in walking distance with other eateries just a short drive away. Add some lovely weather, brilliant. Bournemouth, Poole, Swanage not too far. The IOW ferry is easy to get to in Lymington, but there is not a lot in Yarmouth although you could catch a local bus or take your car.
Excellent facilities reached all expectations hope to book again.
Loved the bungalow!
So spacious! Every thing you needed. So close to the cliff and walk to the sea! You could see the sea from the lounge window which elderly parents loved! Seeing the bunnies was sweet and a couple of nights we saw a fox trotting across the front lawn! Bbq was lovely and we didn't even need to buy any fuel! Garden was lovely Dottie the dog loved sniffing about, and the beach of course! High street minutes away plenty of eaty places the globe is worth a visit! two small supermarkets, chip shop ect. Lots of nice places to visit within a few miles, Christ church, mudeford, ect. The only negatives as mum unsteady on feet had to be careful of the uneven paving slabs, also due to few steps couldn't get her down to the beach, but she was happy sitting on the cliff. Also in ensuite bedroom curtains could do with being thicker as the beautiful sunshine woke us up soooo early!!! Lol
The property was situated very near to the beach, so was brilliant for dog walking.
An outside tap and hosepipe were provided for cleaning my dog, which was fantastic. There were also shops nearby, and it was easy to drive to Christchurch to see my relatives.
Very welcoming property with nice added touches by the owners.
Ideal situation for access to the beach and amenities.
A fantastic cottage, clean and very comfortable.
The location was perfect, so close to everything, and such a beautiful spot. The cottage was perfect for our dogs, and so well accommodated - we didn't want to leave! Would highly recommend this perfect holiday home.
It was a very comfortable holiday home.
Very warm which surprised us as it was warm air heating. The beds were comfortable and overall cleanliness was fantastic. There were nice touches like coats available to use, just like you had borrowed a friends home. To also find that the sandy beach that was such a short walk away was very dog friendly was fantastic. No matter which direction you walked along the beach there was a coffee shop within a mile. It was a lovely holiday only made better by warmth of greeting from everyone we met While out and the comfort when we returned back to the bungalow.
