Set just a mile from the picturesque village of Kilmington, this beautifully crafted cottage is a unique destination for couples or small families with their dogs in tow. With a fully enclosed courtyard garden, sweeping views over the Axe Valley and glimpses of the sea beyond, you’re perfectly placed for countryside rambles, clifftop adventures, and sandy-pawed strolls along the world-famous Jurassic Coast.
Lovingly built with local materials, this retreat is full of thoughtful touches and natural charm – ideal for relaxing after a day of tail-wagging fun. Step inside via the French doors and settle into the snug lounge, where a toasty wood burner, Smart TV and plush seating invite guests and pups to unwind. The bright and airy kitchen/diner is made for sociable meals, with handcrafted units and all the modern kit you need. A handy utility room/cloakroom is great for drying off muddy paws after a long countryside ramble. A gorgeous spiral staircase made from local ash leads to two beautifully styled bedrooms. The king-size room has a Juliet balcony overlooking the countryside, while the second room can be set as twin singles or a queen-size. A luxurious bathroom with a roll-top bath, separate shower and marble sink completes the internal layout. Outside, you'll find a fully enclosed courtyard garden – a haven for your loyal companion to explore. Enjoy laid-back lunches around the garden table or fire up the BBQ on sunny evenings. There’s a second spot with seating and a fire pit for stargazing and storytelling. Private off-road parking for two cars is provided.
Kilmington itself offers a dog-friendly pub serving hearty meals and a farm shop full of local treats. Axminster (3 miles) boasts a weekly market and independent shops – many of which are happy to welcome well-behaved mutts. Explore the coastal villages of Beer or Lyme Regis (both within 8 miles), wander the trails of Axe Estuary Nature Reserve (pet restrictions in some areas), or explore further afield at Bicton Park (18 miles).
