Treat Tilly the terrier to a truly special holiday when she joins you at this sumptuous Dorset country house. Sleeping 12 guests, the six-bedroom property at Chebbard, 8 miles from Dorchester, comes with a fully equipped gym. For Tilly, there is a beautiful garden that gives onto parkland and countryside, ensuring she can stretch her furry legs to her heart’s content.
Bound inside following exciting dog walks to decide whether to take your chum through to the lounge or the family room, where she can join you in front of an open fire, or into the lounge/kitchen/diner where there is a wood burner. Feed her in here too, while you decide what to whip up for the next group meal. The gym and a WC are also at this level, while a second WC is on the lower ground floor, together with the utility room. Settle Tilly for the night downstairs before making your own way up to the bedrooms on the first floor. Here you have three super-king-sizes. One of these has an en-suite bathroom and a dressing room, and two, one of which has an en-suite shower room, encompass zip-and-link beds that can also be set up as two singles. Two double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, and a king-size bedroom, also with an en-suite shower room, complete the bedrooms. There is also a family bathroom. Let Tilly lounge on the sunny patio while you cook on the BBQ and dine under deep blue skies. Guests have off-road parking for eight cars.
Venture 8 miles to Cerne Abbas for a picturesque dog walk and to see the famous chalk giant. Head 17.5 miles down to Lulworth Cove, where you can all splash in the shallows. Take Tilly out along the South West Coast Path from here.
