Have a ball at this former barn, a fantastic base for exploring the best of Dorset. One of three charming cottages only 3 miles from the spectacular Jurassic Coast, this single-storey barn offers a brilliant enclosed garden for your dog to explore. Immerse yourself in the fresh air and beauty of the countryside and enjoy the variety of nearby dog-friendly beaches, before returning to this cosy haven for a chilled evening in.

Settle into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner after a day of discovering the delights of Dorset. On warmer days, cook with the patio doors open so your pup can wander in and out and let the sun light up the space. The private garden has verdant views and a patio area perfect for al fresco dining. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, this cottage has plenty of room for three humans and two dogs.

The Jurassic Coast is ideal for those who love the great outdoors and have a passion for adventure; leave no fossil unturned or stick un-fetched here. The area is famed for its many beautiful and popular beaches including Chesil Beach (6.5 miles) which stretches for 18 miles. Within a short drive, there are many beautiful walking routes that your dog will love, including fantastic circular ones at the iconic Durdle Door (18 miles east). The seaside town of Weymouth is only 5 miles away, and along with many dog-friendly eateries, it also offers plenty of independent shops and the historic Nothe Fort.

Swollows is a very well kept holiday let by the very helpful and welcoming owners. Comfortable and very clean. The road is very busy and not suitable to walk to the close pub you do have to drive everywhere especially if you have a dog.

We really enjoyed our time at the cottage. All needs were catered for. I gave the location four stars as we have two dogs and found we had to drive everytime we wanted to take them for a walk. However, the large garden is fully enclosed so it was easy to let them outside.

The only reason I gave the location 4 stars was because as a dog owner there wasnt a nearby walk we could do as the main road was way too busy. This meant driving to somewhere each day.

The owners work hard to keep this property clean. However, the photos are out of date advertising this property. Its on an extremely busy, dangerous road without a pavement to the town, the garden furniture is very weathered and uninviting, the lawn is cut but thats about it, kitchen "compact", lacking a few basics, fridge is tiny so don't order a Read morebig shop, lounge furniture is uncomfortable, TV small and lacks Freeview and iplayer etc. Towels aren't included is an insult considering the price.

My son, myself and Zo (The Sprocker) had a great week at Swallows. The property is pristine, well equipped and cared for! Impossible to find anything to nit pick about. Plenty to do not just over wider Dorset but though we had a good adventure every day the most we drove was twenty miles away. It was then part of our routine to come back to SwallowRead mores and chill out in the sunny garden. Extra Brownie Points for the best showers Ive experienced in a holiday let.
