Property code: OC-WY374

There’ll be no need to call upon the kennels when booking your next pet-friendly retreat in darling Dorset - this fresh, contemporary accommodation choice in the heart of Swanage is entirely dog-friendly. Wander the short distance down to the beach or get stuck into epic dog walks along the Jurassic Coast throughout your time here, always returning home after each fulfilling day for an evening of relaxation with man’s best friend lovingly by your side. Happily hosting seven guests and one furry friend, this holiday let is an exceptional choice for stays throughout the year. Spend time in the secure, walled garden in the sunshine or curl up together indoors when bad weather strikes.

Put your best paw forward and step inside, making a beeline for the impressive kitchen/diner with bi-fold doors and light-flooding skylights. A real destination for the summer, you can let the outside in as you throw open the patio doors, allowing your beloved bow-wow to enjoy free roam of the garden whilst you prepare dishes and dine indoors or out. Elsewhere on the ground floor, find two lovely lounges with soft furnishings and plenty of room to place your pet’s favourite bed to create a cosy sleeping spot for a dog-tired pet. And for yourselves, sleepy bodies can be marched upstairs and settled down amongst three inviting bedrooms.

Go mutts when exploring the vibrant town of Swanage, wandering directly into the town centre to find plenty of amenities and treats for man and dog alike. Pass by the golden sands of Swanage Beach to reach the quieter Pier Beach (0.5 miles), where dogs can splash freely throughout the year. Heading inland, discover the vibrant Isle of Purbeck with plenty of walkies excursions, perhaps from onboard a heritage steam train from Norden (7 miles) or Corfe Castle (5 miles).

When you go to a lovely place like Swanage, you need lovely accommodation. Steam Whistle fits the bill perfectly! Not only can you hear the steam whistle and see the steam, but it's within a few minutes walk of the heritage station and steam line. Groceries, eating out or the beach are all a short walk away. An excellent standard of accommodation wRead morehich contributed in a large way to a relaxing week. The owner has also thoughtfully provided dog bowls and a selection of dog toys - unfortunately Bonnie the cat was unimpressed! But she did love going out in the enclosed garden, something she is unable to do back home, so she had a good holiday too. Pet owners please note that the garden has 6'/1.8m walls on all sides except one, which has a low gate leading to the front. Hide

For us, the best thing about this property is the location. It's literally a five minute walk into the centre of Swanage but has parking. We will certaRead moreinly be returning. Hide

Steam Whistle Cottage is a very comfortable, spacious and well equipped house, really well located for the town, beach, and all the amenities of Swanage. This was our second year staying there and we would love to stay again next year for a lovely family holiday.

A lovely holiday property, in a great location. This is our second stay, and we would certainly recommend it to others looking to stay in Swanage. There have been some lovely updates to the property since our last stay, resulting in a more modern kitchen, and great outside space.
