Sniff out adventure in the marvellous Cranborne Chase countryside, staying in a quiet Dorset village just 4.5 miles from Blandford Forum. Offering marvellous opportunities for dog walks in every direction, this pet-friendly cottage is the perfect holiday destination to escape to with man’s best friend. This cottage, which hosts four guests and two dogs, has plenty of space (both inside and out) for every member of the pack to enjoy. It’s perfect for resting and recharging with feet (and paws) up throughout every season.

With bundles of countryside charm, sturdy furnishings and delightful décor, this two-storey cottage will set tails wagging. Let Rover and Fido lead the way inside, making themselves at home amongst the ground-floor communal spaces. A kitchen, lounge, and dining room flow through the downstairs, along with a handy utility room for storing outdoor equipment or doggy crates. In the lounge, an electric fire invites you to get cosy, no doubt, with your furry friend sleepily curled up by the warmth of the flames. Moving upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms and a shower room to complete the property’s interior. Outside, discover the attractive enclosed garden, offering ornate decorations and a summer house to be enjoyed whilst sipping a drink.

Whilst you can let your pets run around securely in the garden, you’ll likely find them dog-tired on arrival home each evening, having sniffed out all of the wildlife and fetched all of the sticks in the surrounding fields. Venture to Hambledon Hill (8 miles) for a rewarding hike, letting Rover discover a new leash of life amongst the AONB scenery. A little further away, Dorset’s heritage coastline, the Jurassic Coast, is less than 20 miles away. Discover Durdle Door (18 miles) and the pup-friendly Bowleaze Cove (20 miles).

The cottage is really beautifully-furnished and equipped and I have never seen such wonderful flowers and plants in a garden. Our two dogs felt immediately at home although they would no doubt have liked to have a bit of lawn to run about on. We loved the house and would come again any time. Our hosts were very helpful and welcoming, even when the Read moredoor key disappeared after my handbag was stolen in Christchurch! The cottage is of course "in the sticks" but not so far from many places to visit. Hide

We had a lovely holiday in Gordons Gate, the apartment is very well equipped and the garden is designed with great attention to detail. Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The place offers a good starting point for visiting Dorset. We can only recommend this cottage. The long journey was really worth it.
