Overview
Property code: OC-WY334

Enjoy a slower pace of life with your canine companion loyally by your side, staying in this lovely Dorset bungalow. Situated in the calm and collected village of Worth Matravers, just a short walk from the coastline, you’re certain to discover a new leash of life after a short stint in this lovely spot. The property itself is a picturesque bungalow welcoming six guests and two four-pawed pals, complete with a sunny garden and epic dog walks from its doorstep. Stay here with family or friends and enjoy some dog-friendly downtime together, relaxing on an evening after daily excursions in Dorset’s AONB surroundings.

Wander up the sunny pathway to this limestone cottage and let yourself inside. There’s space for everyone to rest and recharge in the light-filled lounge/diner, complete with comfortable seating, a TV and an open fire. Find a cosy corner to place down your pet’s bed or blanket and watch as your pup dozes peacefully. We’re sure puppy ears will prick up at mealtimes, serving up lovingly prepared dishes either right here in the dining area or outside in the garden. The garden is set to lawn and is entirely lovely, however, it’s not fully enclosed so pets should be watched. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is an en-suite to a double bedroom, complete the property.

Set tails wagging as you wander outside, passing by a village pub and tearoom as you venture along public footpaths for incredible daily walkies. Reach the coastline in 1 mile, admiring magnificent cliff-top scenery and linking up with the South West Coast Path which enables miles upon miles of waterside walking. Head to Kimmeridge Bay (9.5 miles) to discover rockpools teeming with watery wildlife or take a trip to local Swanage (4 miles) to find a pet-friendly Jurassic Coast beach for games of fetch on the sand.

It's in a nice location but access is difficult for people with mobility issues as you cannot park the car close. The parking access is very tight for a large car as is the turning space. There is not enough seating in the living room for 6 guests we had to use the sun loungers from the garden.The wooden seats are not comfortable as is the steeringRead more. The TV was difficult to operate with very poor reception free view not working. We found the kitchen well equipped but the cooker difficult to understand how it worked its an induction hub apparently. All the windows where locked we had to hunt for the window locks key and go round opening them on a very hot day. The beds are comfortable and the linen and towels clean. The hot water works well . It's a nice bungalow in a quiet location but could do with an interior face lift and new comfortable seating. We would book again. Hide

Great location but on the day of arrival access is 5pm which I think is to late and departure is 9 am which is to early. Furniture in lounge is very uncomfortable and so are the double beds. Its very clean and well equipped and very quite location.

Lovely property and position, great for walks and touring, most items needed are provided, out of season you will appreciate the open fire, kitchen is quite well equiped with a fridge, freezer, washing machine, microwave, toaster and plenty of cooking utensils.

Generally this bungalow was nice. Bit dated but spacious. On arrival the large kitchen window was stuck open! Not able to close it, we had a night with an open window! We rang the company the next morning to tell them that we will have to leave if this isn't fixed. After several phone calls we were told that a joiner will come out that evening. WRead moree took valuables out with us. The annoying thing was this window had been this way a long time. The joiner came and the window was fixed. Apart from this, the bungalow was nice clean, spacious and in a nice quiet spot. Lots of great walks nearby. Negatives- On arrival, couldn't get in until 5pm! On the last day, had to leave by 9am! Lost a full day. Sofa was very hard, not comfortable. Blackout curtains needed. Small double beds. Positives- clean, spacious, welcome biscuits and milk, well equipped, lots of great walks on the doorstep, pub walking distance. Plenty of nice outdoor space. Hide

A lovely little house, light, sunny and convenient. Dream location, close to the village pond and green, and 'secret garden'. Minutes away from permanent ice cream supply in cafe, and very short walk from the pub. The views of sea and hills are bewitching. Well placed for the beaches at Studland.

Wild Hill is set in a lovely quiet location with parking for two large cars. The gardens are beautiful but only dog friendly if your dog can be trusted not to roam as not enclosed at all. The kitchen is very well equipped and the bungalow is perfect for a family stay.
