Dog Friendly Cottages Dorset

Dog Friendly Cottages Dorset

We have a wonderful range of dog friendly cottages in Dorset so there is absolutely no need to leave your beloved pets at home. Our beautiful pet friendly cottages are nestled in peaceful, pretty villages with heavenly walks right on the doorstep, hidden away in never ending lush green countryside and alongside some of Dorset’s dog friendly beaches.

Many of our dog friendly cottages have enclosed gardens (check in the property features alongside each property below), so your dog or dogs can enjoy outside space while you relax. After enjoying your morning coffee in your pretty cottage garden, or by the fire in the colder months, gather up the family and take the dog for long coastal walks, stopping at the dog friendly beaches on the way. Or take a more rural route and traverse the glorious countryside. Whichever direction you take, you are bound to arrive at a dog friendly traditional thatched dog friendly pub along the way. We appreciate that every dog walker requires a little dog friendly pit stop, so we have selected some of our preferred dog friendly watering holes right here.

Meander through picture book villages stopping for a cream tea or a glass of something refreshing in a dog friendly pub or restaurant and relax with a blissfully worn out dog by your feet. Many of the dog friendly pubs in Dorset have little doggie treats at the bar, so everyone in your party will be happy!

The best Dorset dog walks

There are a huge range of dog walks in Dorset covering every possible terrain. We have some particular favourites to try including a lovely little 2 mile route along Hive Beach or a 2.2 mile walk along Lulworth Cove passing through the Fossil Forest which will completely fascinate the children as they walk through the remains of a tropical forest, which grew for a short time at the end of the Jurassic period, before flooding to form a saline lagoon. A walk around the rugged Isle of Portland is one of our absolute favourite ways to spend a weekend, we highly recommend this route for you and your furry companions. The complete Isle of Portland circuit is 13 miles long, so not for the faint hearted, but you don’t need to complete the whole thing. Dipping in to any section of it will be just as pleasurable.
