Property code: OC-WY403

Teeming with vibrant colour and character, this delightful West Dorset cottage offers a truly unique base for your next pet-friendly getaway. Centrally located for days out in Dorset’s vibrant coast and countryside AONB, you’ll never tire of dog-friendly walkies and fantastic scenery-spotting excursions close by. The property itself welcomes up to eight guests and one small dog to stay, an ideal choice for any larger group with canine company. Step outside into the half an acre of magnificently landscaped gardens, ensuring you keep a close eye on any escape-prone pups as this lawned area is only partially enclosed!

In this unique property, each room boasts its own vivid colour scheme and eclectic accents. Step inside to be first greeted by a handy boot room with adjacent utility space and a cloakroom WC, the perfect stop off with muddy or sandy pets after a long, rewarding walk. Once clean and tidy, let Fido find his cosy spot within the house, perhaps making a beeline for the light-filled lounge or the welcoming snug. Leave your sleeping dog to lie wherever he sees fit, drifting off into dreams filled with chasing wildlife as you explore four bedrooms elsewhere in the property. Outside, you can enjoy panoramic views from the furnished terrace or descend a flight of stairs to reach the impressive lawn.

Pack a tennis ball or two and get stuck into exploring Dorset’s surrounding hills, wandering along to the villages of Whitchurch Canonicorum (1 mile), Chideock (2 miles) and Charmouth (2.5 miles). The latter is a lovely seaside spot on the renowned Jurassic Coast. Spend time on the east side of Charmouth Beach where pets are welcome to play off the lead all year round. From here, you can embark on long dog walks along the South West Coast Path, discovering nearby coastal beauty spots including Lyme Regis (5 miles) and Seaton (14 miles).
