Set on a peaceful no-through private road, this welcoming two-storey cottage in an elevated position is ideal for families and up to two hounds looking for a restful holiday in Dorset. From the hamlet of Osmington Milclose, there is easy access to the world-famous Jurassic Coast, with the iconic coastal scenery of Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and Ringstead Bay, all within 6 miles. The dramatic cliffs, sweeping bays and fossil-rich beaches make this area a paradise for your pups to sniff out adventures, while you enjoy the natural beauty and spectacular surroundings.

This inviting home offers space, comfort and a relaxing setting for an unforgettable stay. Step into the inner hallway, thoughtfully arranged as a snug with a TV. Downstairs, the sleek kitchen has everything you need to whip up some tasty treats, and the dining room at the rear overlooks the garden, making it a lovely spot for long breakfasts. The living room is the heart of the house, where your hounds will gather around the wood burner to sleep, while you settle onto the sofas, and enjoy a film on the Smart TV. There are two downstairs bedrooms – one double and one single – along with the main bathroom. Upstairs are an en-suite king-size bedroom with a balcony overlooking the garden, and a cosy single. Outside, the enclosed garden is perfect for dogs and children to play, while you unwind on the seating. Private parking for two cars is available; the access lane is narrow but suitable for medium to large vehicles.

Nearby attractions that welcome your pups include RSPB Radipole, which is ideal for wildlife and bird lovers, Bindon Hill or Chesil Beach, where your dog can go mutts splashing in the water, and the pretty county town of Dorchester, all within 11 miles.

Love this house! The back garden is lovely. The location is peaceful and secluded. The house is a good size and well-equipped. The two parking bays are tight to get into / out of, if you've got a large SUV like ours, but for most cars they're fine - so don't let this comment put you off.

Amazing cottage has everything you could ever need, the location was a little hilly for my parents so didn't venture out walking but was close to Weymouth and shops the smugglers inn was great for meals out.
