Let Harry the hound join in the fun when you stay at this lovely lodge on a private lakeside estate in Dorset. Built for relaxed group stays and families holidaying with their dogs, the four-bedroom retreat, near Crossways, 6 miles from Dorchester, sleeps eight guests and comes with a paw-some, enclosed garden. The people in your party will love the array of on-site activities and leisure facilities, while Harry will prick up his ears on walks on the Jurassic Coast, 6.5 miles away.

Rub damp fur and brush sandy paws before stepping into your impressive home away from home. Spread out and enjoy the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where there is ample space for hounds and humans. Light the wood burner, switch on the Smart TV and let Harry daydream about his doggy adventures in Dorset. Prepare meals for all members of your party, including those with four legs, in the contemporary kitchen. Upstairs, two king-size rooms each have an en-suite shower room and doors onto a balcony, while a double and a bunk room offer flexible sleeping. A family bathroom is also here. The rear garden is fully enclosed and laid to lawn, giving dogs and children room to play while you relax on the deck with a glass of something chilled. Harry will also enjoy accompanying you through the nature reserve. Other on-site, shared facilities include a beach and water sports equipment hire, along with a spa and restaurant. You have private parking for one car, with additional space in the main car park.

Take Harry for a walk up to the Osmington White Horse, 7.5 miles away. He will also love to stretch his furry legs on the South West Coast Path, 6.5 miles away. Plan a trip to Studland, 21.5 miles away, with its dog-friendly beach and dunes.
