Gaze out towards the downs and bask beside a roaring wood burner when you stay at this delightful, three-storey, stone cottage with your dog in Swanage. This enticing, three-bedroom retreat sleeps six guests and also welcomes canine companions with open paws. Well placed for reaching dog-friendly pubs and cafes, it is also ideally located for guests and their four-legged friends who enjoy the great outdoors and spending time at the beach.
Let yourselves into the charming abode and find yourselves in the kitchen/diner, where you can unpack any fresh provisions, feed your canine friend and prepare tasty meals. Take a few steps down to enter the beamed lounge/diner, where you can watch TV and light the wood burner so your pup pal can toast chilly paws. A few more steps down from here lead to the cottage’s lower ground floor, where there are two double bedrooms and a family shower room. Follow the stairs up from the kitchen/diner to discover your third double bedroom and the family bathroom. Take your dog out into the gravelled courtyard garden with you on bright mornings. Have breakfast out here as you enjoy the views and plan the day’s many dog-friendly adventures.
Explore Swanage with your canine companion, taking him 0.5 miles to the pup-friendly Monkey Beach to dip paws in the salty water or out on the downs near Peveril Point for a long walk. Pick up the South West Coast Path here too and head towards Durlston Country Park and Anvil Point Lighthouse. Venture 4 miles to beautiful South Beach at Studland Bay, where happy hounds can bound freely whenever they choose, and you can also swim and play on the sand. Make a trip out to the National Trust’s dog-friendly Corfe Castle too, 5 miles away.
