Nestled on a cobbled lane in the heart of Swanage, this three-bedroom cottage offers the perfect base for coastal adventures in Dorset. Sleeping six guests and welcoming up to two happy hounds, this picture-perfect cottage is ideal for a family-friendly break or a getaway with friends – and man’s best friend at your side. Sniff out adventure fossil hunting on the Jurassic Coast by day, and let sleeping dogs lie by night as you unwind in the delightful cottage gardens and enjoy sociable evenings in the lounge.
Inside, this two-storey cottage is warm and welcoming, with everything your pack needs for a comfortable stay. The open-plan kitchen and dining room offers ample space for you to prepare and enjoy delicious home-cooked treats, with the patio doors thrown open so your pups can explore and play at leisure. The garden is a delight, with little nooks tucked amongst flowerbeds offering space to dine alfresco or just enjoy a cuppa or glass of wine in the salty sea air. Fill the air with laughter and chatter in the light-filled lounge as you catch up with your favourite TV shows or just enjoy quality time with your loved ones, pups snoozing in front of the open fire on chilly evenings. Upstairs, a king-size bedroom, bunkroom for two, and bedroom with zip-and-link beds offer flexible sleeping arrangements for your group. A family bathroom completes the interior.
Let your pups lead the way to adventure in the morning as you head for zoomies on the beach – Monkey beach and North beach are dog friendly all year, while Main beach has summer restrictions. There are plenty of opportunities for walkies too with cliff-top views from the coastal path, and Durlston Country Park and Nature Reserve within easy walking distance. History-loving hounds will love a trip on the Swanage steam train to explore the ruins of Corfe Castle, while sea dogs will be delighted with a trip on the Jurassic Coast Cruise.
