Stroll out from this remarkable cliff-top Dorset cottage, which welcomes up to two four-legged friends, and make your way down to the beach at Chapman’s Pool. Wander along the shingle beach and search for fossils; throw balls for your chums and watch them splash in the shallows. Return to the property, which sleeps up to six, at St Alban’s Head on the Isle of Purbeck, to relax in your enclosed garden and take in the sweeping, coastal vistas.
Once two cottages and home to a coastguard, this appealing, four-bedroom property offers space, character and tranquillity. Take the pups into one of your two lounges to recline in front of an open fire while you enjoy a few pages of your book or watch TV. Let them pad behind you when you make your way into the games room and feed them in the kitchen/diner, where the rest of your party can also feast in style. Find a WC at ground-floor level and the family bathroom on the first floor, together with all four of your light-filled bedrooms. Absorb the glorious views from up here in the bedrooms. Take in the sea air from your enclosed garden; watch the pups and children play on the lawn but keep an eye on them as the gate is not secured and opens on to the cliff tops. Please note that the property is approached via a 1.5-mile long unmade track which is not suitable for cars with low ground clearance.
Walk 2 miles from your attractive holiday home into the picture-postcard village of Worth Matravers. From here, stroll another 1 mile to the fascinating, disused quarry at Winspit, which has appeared as a backdrop in a number of science fiction films and TV programmes, including Doctor Who. Venture 5.5 miles from the cottage to the ruins of Corfe Castle and its model village, which is set in dog-friendly grounds.
