This stylish and well-presented cottage in Blandford Forum, Dorset, is the ideal base for a family of four and their two canine pals. Nestled on a family-run farm, this former stable is peaceful, yet within easy reach of beaches, walks and bike rides.
Beautifully decorated with original features retained throughout, this cottage provides guests with a cosy, homely atmosphere as soon as you step through the stable door. Let pups snooze in the impressive open-plan living space, home to beautiful timber flooring and original wooden beams. Let canines toast tufty paws in front of the wood burner, while the humans of your group find something to watch on the Smart TV before cooking up tasty dishes in the chic kitchen. A contemporary table offers a lovely space to dine together. When it's time for bed, say goodnight to sleepy pups and choose one of the king-size bedrooms that are tucked beneath charming, exposed eaves. With both rooms boasting en-suite facilities, it's guaranteed that all members of the troop can enjoy privacy. Awake to brew a cuppa and head out to the enclosed garden. The dining furniture out here ensures a delightful spot to relax while your four-legged friend plays fetch.
Get tails wagging with picturesque walkies around the surrounding secluded landscapes and bike trails. Watch on as your scampering pups race along the popular beaches of Lulworth Cove and Ringstead Bay, both of which are within 21 miles, or take a day trip over to the pup-friendly Poole (14 miles), where guests will be met with lovely golden sands and dog-friendly cafes, all with the backdrop of the dramatic Jurassic Coast. Closer to home, the town of Blandford Forum has independent shopping and regular markets.
