Watch tails wag and ears fly as your delighted dog explores the 30 acres of shared grounds at this holiday home at Fernhill. Situated less than 1 mile from Charmouth and 1.5 miles from the beach, where pups have the freedom on the east side whenever they wish, the three-bedroom bolthole, which is also 2.5 miles from Lyme Regis, is part of a complex with an outdoor, heated pool for shared use in the summer months, subject to the hotels availability.

Towel damp paws and enter the bright abode via the hallway, where you can slide off your flip-flops or walking shoes. Usher your pup through into the colourful, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner to give him a good drink of water and a well-earned meal. Find everything you need in here to help you cater for the human members of your party too. Dine together up at the table. Open the door on to your outside space to bring a fresh breeze in on summer days. Settle back on the plush, soft seating to play a board game or watch an episode of a boxset on the TV, while your contented canine finds a quiet corner for a doze. There is also a family shower room downstairs. Leave your pet at this level before taking yourselves off up to bed on the first floor of the cottage. Here you will find two double bedrooms and a single. Have morning coffee out in your private seating space on fine days. Take your chum off for a long walk through the shared woodland and beside the lake.

Pick up the South West Coast Path in Charmouth and follow it out in either direction. Plan an afternoon’s walking at the National Trust’s Golden Cap area, 5.5 miles away, with its stunning views across Lyme Bay to Dartmoor.

Lovely little home to stay at very close to Lyme Regis and Charmouth. Enough space for us (3 adults & one teen). There's only one bathroom with a shower so factor this when your booking. Pubs locally get booked up quick. Comfy beds, well stocked kitchen. A lovely place to stay. Thank you

Lovely week staying at a modern house, with comfortable beds and sofas and would highly recommend if you like walking. Great access to the coast path leading to Lyme Regis and Charmouth. Grounds are great for dog walking and easy access to the main road to Bridport and Devon.
