Spend as much time as possible outside in the sunshine with your canine companion at this enticing Dorset cottage. Sleeping eight guests, the four-bedroom abode sits in beautiful lawned gardens and parkland, where he can race about while you keep an eye on him. Head inside to warm chilly paws and feet beside a glowing wood burner.
Call your pal to join you inside after hours spent out in the fresh air and sunshine. Choose whether to unwind together in the lounge or the family room, both of which feature cosy wood burners. Play a game or watch the Smart TV in the family room while your pet joins in the fun. Make your way through to the kitchen/diner with your puppy pal hard on your heels at mealtimes. A family bathroom and the useful utility room, where you can keep your hound’s accessories, are also here. Tuck him up in his bed for the night, then climb the stairs to your own rooms. The bedrooms here include two king-sizes, plus a super-king-size and a twin, both with zip-and-link beds for flexible sleeping arrangements. Guests share two family shower rooms. Take your canine companion out to enjoy some exercise in the picturesque garden as soon as he awakes. Let him relax out here with you later on, as you grill lunch on the BBQ and dine on the patio. You have off-road parking for four cars.
Pull on your hiking boots, pick up the dog lead and make your way 6 miles to follow the trail at Bulbarrow Hill and Rawlsbury Camp. The National Trust’s Kingston Lacy, 17.5 miles away, also makes a great day out for energetic dogs. Make your way 16.5 miles down to the coast at Durdle Door, where pets can paddle in the sea without restriction.
