Discover the natural beauty of the Jurassic Coast when you and your favourite furry friend escape to this chocolate-box thatched cottage. Sleeping eight guests, the four-bedroom, pet-friendly hideaway is situated in the South Dorset village of Wool, 6 miles from Wareham. It sits in enclosed gardens, where you can throw a ball for your delighted dog, and is just 5 miles from spectacular Lulworth Cove and the scenic South West Coast Path.

Call your four-pawed pal to step into this inviting holiday home behind you and find yourselves in the hall, where you can unlace your walking boots and hang the dog lead. Take him through to the snug with you while you watch the Smart TV or on into the hub of the home, an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Let him pad about this space while you prepare dinner, set the table or sink back into one of the sofas with a book or in front of another TV. After dinner, take him through to the sun room, where you can open the door to the garden on fine days. Give furry ears a last scratch before bed, then climb the stairs to the first floor. Here you will find a king-size bedroom, with an en-suite shower room, plus two doubles and a twin. Spill out into the pretty garden on sunny days to let your chum stretch his furry legs, while you enjoy the tranquillity and fresh air. There is private, off-road parking here for two cars.

Step straight out on long dog walks from the front door. Plan a day trip to the National Trust’s Studland Bay, 14.5 miles away, with its dog-friendly beaches and miles of dunes. Visit Durdle Door, with its famous limestone arch, 5.5 miles away, where pups are welcome on the beach all year round.

The cottage was well heated ,cosy and a nice layout although very noisy boiler behind main bed which was not comfortable - we moved to another smaller bed after 2 nights. The two new bathrooms are amazing, another plus although the sensor light in the main one stayed on and flickered a lot. The selection of books amazing!!! and very interesting besRead moret thing about this cottage. Would have been good to have a welcome tray of tea/coffee and scones or biscuits and a pint of milk but sadly nothing left for us after a long journey. The fridge definitely needs updating, no shelves in door and no light working inside, ok for us two but might be difficult for 8 people as advertised. Hide
