Book this inviting cottage on the beautiful Dorset coast and ensure your four-legged friend joins in the fun. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom, Ringstead retreat is a paws-down winner for pups. Set on a private estate, 2.5 miles from Osmington Mills, it is just 150 metres from both the pup-friendly beach at Ringstead Bay and the South West Coast Path, providing everything your delighted dog could dream of.

Call your chum to enter the light-filled, airy retreat with you. From the back door, make your way into the utility room to check salty, sandy paws and pop doggy towels straight into the washing machine, There is also a shower room here for you. Let your waggy-tailed friend lead you through to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner where you can open the garden door up on fine days to bring in a sea breeze. Feed hounds and humans then unwind together in the lounge space, where there is a TV. For the people in your party, there is ample comfortable seating, plus a dining table and breakfast bar. A family bathroom and one of your bedrooms, a king-size, are also downstairs. Leave your lovable hound at this lower level too then carefully climb the open-tread, spiral, staircase to either the twin or double. The double has a private relaxation area and access to a balcony. Enjoy watching your pal race about the sizeable, wrap-around garden but keep an eye on him as it is open. Sit down to meals at the picnic bench and lose yourselves in the views. There is private parking here for three cars.

Venture 11 miles to beautiful Lulworth Cove, where dogs are welcome on the beach and you can follow the scenic Fossil Forest Walk. Enjoy a 4-mile walk along the South West Coast Path to Durdle Door.

We could not fault the location of the cottage the spot was absolutely beautiful, waking up to such peace and tranquillity made our holiday complete. The cottage is cosy and warm and having a cafe round the corner and a pub within walking distance gave us the choice to go out to eat. If youre looking for a relaxing break by the sea I would highly rRead moreecommend this spot. Its not a modern cottage but it had a very warm lived in feeling Hide
