Take your furry pal to play on the sand and splash in the sea then return to the comfort of this dog-friendly cottage in Hamworthy. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom retreat is situated 1.5 miles from the centre of Poole and in an ideal location for magnificent coastal walks and days out to pup-friendly beaches. Also explore Dorset’s picturesque countryside with its many footpaths that will keep tails wagging from start to finish.
Open the front door and follow your eager chum through into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Let him explore this generous space, while you unpack any provisions you have bought over in the kitchen area and then give him a well-earned drink. Serve him his dinner and prepare everyone else’s over here too. Gather round the table to dine and to watch the Smart TV or make your way over to the soft seating while your contented canine curls up on the rug. Settle him for the night then head through to one of the bedrooms for your own sumptuous sleep. A twin room is situated at ground-floor level, with the family shower room close by. An attractive king-size bedroom, which has sloping ceilings and a TV, is upstairs, on the first floor. Sit outside on the bench to the front of the cottage, with your pal close by, on summer afternoons.
Pick up the dog lead and walk less than 500 metres down to Hamworthy Beach, which welcomes four-legged beachgoers all year round. Upton Country Park, under 2 miles away, is also a great location for stretching furry legs, especially as it includes dog exercise areas where your chum can bound free to his heart’s content. Plan a day out to the Purbeck Peninsula, which begins 8 miles away and features beauty spots and beaches that pups adore.
