Have a ball in the picturesque village of Portesham, sniffing out adventure in the nearby Dorset countryside and exploring the glorious Jurassic coast. Surrounded by a seemingly endless supply of walkies, this property is the perfect spot for a dog lover’s retreat and happily sleeps a family of five with one canine companion. Delight in a pocket of paradise in the garden to the rear, before setting off to enjoy days out by the sea.
A well-appointed property with traditional decor, this cosy cottage is instantly welcoming. Enter via the backdoor and head straight into the kitchen, a generous room sitting underneath a vaulted ceiling and original wooden beams. Muddy paws and wet fur won’t be a problem here, with space to towel-dry mucky pups and full use of a washing machine if needed. The humans in your pack can get comfy in both lounge and snug, but we’ve no doubt you’ll find Fido snoozing in front of the wood burner in the compact snug. In sunnier weather both man and man’s best friend will go mutts for the beautiful rear garden, where outdoor furniture, lawn and pergola create the perfect spot for evening drinks and chasing tails.
Enjoy a morning dog walk to the village farm shop (300 metres), picking up local produce to take home for breakfast. After fuelling up, set tails wagging with a trip to a nearby dog-friendly beach for fetch and ball games. The wonderful expanse of Chesil Beach is just 3 miles away, the perfect spot for your four-pawed pal to splash in the sea. From here sniff out adventure along the Jurassic Coast, enjoying miles of unforgettable coastline. Visit the popular village of Abbotsbury (2 miles) on your return to the property, exploring abbey ruins, picturesque streets and dog-friendly pubs.
