Fill your days with endless dog walks and stunning coastal sights, staying in this pet-friendly holiday home atop one of Dorset’s seaside cliffs. Packs of all shapes and sizes can stay together in this lovely family abode, a place where guests young and old can relax. The four-pawed pal in your pack will adore the never-ending coastal path walks and the cosy living area to snuggle up in, whilst the six human guests will go mutts for the comfy bedrooms and ample social space. Kids will find plenty to love, including the children’s room with beanbags, and table tennis in the utility room.

This detached property promises peace and seclusion away from it all, complete with an enviable terrace with outdoor seating. This space is unenclosed, so those with escape-prone pups should take good care. Moving inside, find two cosy twin bedrooms, both with en-suite facilities, and a children’s playroom downstairs. The utility room, as well as housing the table tennis table, offers space to give Rover a good clean after ballgames on the sand. Moving upstairs, the lounge/kitchen/diner is spacious, sociable and flooded with natural light. The double bedroom and en-suite bathroom are up a few stairs from the lounge. Private parking for up to four cars is also available.

Let Fido lead the way to adventure in Dorset’s coastal national landscape. The South West Coast Path, a famed long-distance route stretched out across the contours of the cliffs, is just 1 mile from your doorstep. Discover the beauty of Seacombe Cliff (1.5 miles) or make your way up to Durlston Castle (5 miles) along this route. One of the South Coast’s most beautiful features, Durdle Door (17 miles), is a drive away, close to the spectacular Man O' War Beach (17 miles), which is dog-friendly all year round.

The property is in a very peaceful and quiet location, the views are stunning with plenty of wildlife to watch throughout the day. The surrounding costal walks are also fantastic. The property and garden itself is lovely, this is definitely a place to stay if you enjoy the peace and quiet.

Just returned from an amazing stay at the property. The location is wonderful with incredible views and so quiet.. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and saw deer, pheasants, hares, pigs and lots of birds. Some lovely walks nearby. It is a very pretty village and everyone should visit the Square and Compass pub. The house is very well equipped aRead morend little touches like milk, biscuits and bottle of wine was nice. Communications with the owner were excellent. Perfect place for 3 couples as each bedroom has an en-suite but would also be good for families. There is so much to do in the area. We went to Corfe Castle, Swanage, Kimmeridge, Dulston, Wareham, Blue Pool, Lulworth Cove and Monkey World. We will definitely book again. Hide

The information provided about the local area was useful and accurate. We saw muntjac deer and hares every day. We walked up to the playground, enjoyed live music in the local pub, went on a steam train to Corfe Castle and walked on the beach in Swanage. We also walked down to the coast path and enjoyed the views out to sea. It is a great place for an English family holiday. Hide

A really well appointed 3 bedroom house, each bedroom with its own bathroom, which was a big plus. Loved the lounge/kitchen being on the upper level, and the view from the balcony was awesome. Good outside space and seating, plus a large driveway which could easily accommodate 4 cars, and a short walk to the local Pub (Square and Compass) where theRead morey served great pasties, and about a mile walk down to the sea/quarry. Dog friendly as well, another big plus. Only a 4 to 5 mile drive to Swanage and Corfe Castle close by. We had a fabulous 3 day stay, and would have no hesitation in returning. Hide

We love this property! It is very comfortable and well appointed and the views are a delight day and night. Its also very useful to have so much parking space in a village where this can be difficult at peak times of year. This was our third (and longest) stay and we have already booked the next one. We also had an excellent response to minor issueRead mores that we had over our three week stay. Hide

We loved our stay at Gwyle, thankyou for sharing your home. A real home from home, where 3 generations could happily spend time together. Comfy beds, nice communal space too. We loved the view from the balcony - seeing the sea and watching the deer in the fields. Perfect base for exploring the area, and lovely walks with our dog from the front doorRead more.
