Sleeping four guests across two welcoming and comfortable bedrooms and with plenty of space for the pups to relax, it won’t be long before you’ll all be up and ready to explore the many coastal paths and picturesque villages accessible from the property. Stroll along the South West Coast Path that’s just 2 miles from the house, and watch the kids and hounds roam as far as their legs will carry them.

This single-storey property, one of three nestled in a quiet spot close to the lovely seaside town of Weymouth, is decorated in soft, inviting colours with quaint finishing touches. Enjoy lesiurley meals in the dining room, while large patio doors flood the lounge with light and make it a wonderful place to enjoy morning sun while the canines stretch their legs in the enclosed garden. Or if the weather’s good, enjoy an al fresco breakfast on the patio to set you up for the day. At bedtime, snuggle into one of the cosy beds in the bedrooms that are furnished with the calming tones of the sea in mind.

Make the most of your proximity to Weymouth and the Jurassic Coast and head down to the beach (4.5 miles), which has a dog exercise area with no restrictions all year round. Don’t forget to visit Nothe Fort (5 miles), which holds a cannon firing display every other Sunday. ‘The Weymouth 4 Kids Treasure Trail’ starts on the Esplanade and the pubs will love ensuring that your dogs leave no stick unfetched in the hunt for clues.

Had a very nice long weekend away over Easter at short notice. Very comfortable and had everything that was needed and more. Loved looking up at the stars once the clouds cleared. Listening to the birds first thing in the morning was pleasant. We would stay here again and probably will as we loved beach scavenging and fossil hunting.

It was pretty much as expected. no major complaints Welcome pack limited. Garden looked much bigger in the photo. Not a problem it just didn't give the dog much space to roam

A spotlessly clean cottage with the very pleasant owners living nearby should any issues arise. Located in a rural location with own rear lawn, and view across fields, own car parking space in front of the cottage entrance. The central heating took the chill of early mornings and evenings making for a very comfortable stay.

We have gone for several years and have always been impressed by the cleanliness of the property. Both Jane and Robert are fantastic hosts and are always on hand for any help or advice. The field behind the property is a wildlife haven and we have seen Deer, Red Kite, Marsh Harrier, Kestrel, Owls and Buzzards. And once or twice the owner Robert hasRead more a plane that he takes off and lands in the field behind. Hide

This is a lovely cosy cottage. Rural but local enough to access Weymouth and other places of interest. Jane was very welcoming and provided tea coffee and milk for us to make a cuppa following our inward bound journey. The cottage had everything needed for a comfortable stay and was furnished to a good standard. Levels of cleanliness was really gooRead mored. Goldfinch had steps to the front access so if mobility is an issue opt for one of the other 2 cottages on site. Hide

This is a compact quiet cottage with a secure small rear garden. There is sufficient off road car parking. One needs to drive to find a place to walk the dog. Location wise it is ideally suited to exploring the south Dorset coastline. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend, without hesitation.
