Set in the heart of the Dorset National Landscape, 8.5 miles from the breathtaking Jurassic Coast, this welcoming cottage in Stoke Abbott is the ideal escape for couples or small families travelling with their four-legged companion. Sleeping four, it's a haven for walkers, tail-waggers and lovers of the great outdoors, with countryside trails straight from the doorstep and dog-friendly adventures awaiting nearby.
Step through the garden gate, hang up leads and kick off shoes in the handy boot room before making your way into the lounge. Original stone walls blend with calm, modern decor and plush seating for stretching out with your pup curled up at your feet or head into the separate snug to relax by the wood burner. The traditional kitchen/diner is fully equipped for all your self-catering needs and boasts countryside views. Enjoy meals together at the rustic wooden table or take things outside to the patio for al fresco dining. The ground floor also offers a modern shower room. Upstairs, two beautifully finished king-size bedrooms provide a restful night’s sleep, while a family bathroom completes the interior layout. Outside, the enclosed garden, surrounded by mature trees, is a peaceful setting for pups to potter and play. The stone patio has outdoor seating for relaxed mealtimes or stargazing on warm evenings. Enjoy private parking for one car and direct access to the countryside at this lovely retreat.
Just 4.5 miles away is Mapperton House – a peaceful place for a stroll through stunning gardens (pets welcome on leads), while the bustling town of Beaminster (2 miles) boasts cosy pubs and independent shops, many of which are happy to welcome waggy-tailed visitors. For a day by the sea, head to West Bay (8.5 miles) – a great place for beach rambles on the lead, towering cliff-top walks and fish and chips with a view.
