Dog Friendly Cottages in Dorset

Home to above-average temperatures and below- below-average rainfall, Dorset’s rich countryside is perfect for your dog to connect with their wild roots. They can join badgers in the forests, puffins on the coast and run down rolling hills while falcons soar overhead.

Dog-friendly holiday cottages in Dorset aren’t just a place to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. It’s a place where your dog can feel right at home.

More award-winning beaches than anywhere else in the UK

While Dorset is home to arguably the most beautiful countryside in Britain, where this South West county really shines is by the sea. Dorset boasts over 100 miles of stunning coastline and more award-winning dog-friendly beaches than almost anywhere else in the UK. Here at Snaptrip, we’re fans of Chapman’s Pool.

A horseshoe-shaped cove sketched into the landscape by tides over centuries, Chapman’s Pool is less a beach and more so paradise. Nestled on the South West Coast Path, the circle of sand around the water’s edge is soft and golden. Meanwhile, up on the cliffs, the smell of fresh green fields mixes with the salt of the sea, making the air down on the bay as crisp as it can be.

Best of all, this sandy spot is dog-friendly all year round so you and your four-legged friends can escape here whenever you feel like it. While something of a challenge to get to, with the nearest car park being quite a walk away, we think this only adds to the pool’s appeal. As many tourists decide to settle for more accessible spots, Chapman’s Pool remains relatively quiet, leaving this piece of paradise all for you and your pooch to enjoy. There are plenty of dog friendly beaches in Dorset that you can visit!

Britain’s most impressive attraction

What’s more, we haven’t even mentioned Dorset’s most impressive attraction. On the surface, the Jurassic Coast is 96 miles of exceptional scenery. Clear waters twist beneath craggy cliffs, in a display so stunning, it’s not only an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty but stands alongside the Great Barrier Reef as a World Heritage Site of ‘international importance’.

But, to those who know what they’re looking for, this stretch of coastline tells a dramatic story. Wander the Jurassic Coast with a guidebook and you’ll be able to read 185 million years of history on Earth. Spot the rock formations, colourations and find the fossils where the Earth really shows its age.

No pet-friendly holiday would be complete without at least one great walk and we don’t think anything beats taking a stroll down the Jurassic Coastline. We recommend picking a route near the famous seaside town of Lyme Regis. Britain’s most popular fossil hunting spot, come when the tide is out and who knows, your pooch may dig up a bone older than humanity itself.

Dog-friendly Dorset fun from coast to coast

Step away from the coast and Dorset still has loads to offer. For starters, there’s Corfe Castle. A famous survivor of the English Civil War, this incredible castle is renowned as one of the greatest medieval buildings in the UK. Best of all, our four-legged friends don’t have to miss out on this piece of history. If the weather’s nice, we recommend taking your dog for a wander about the ruins, before settling down for a picnic in the castle grounds.

If you’re in the mood for a spot of shopping, you’re in luck. Dorset is home to dozens of market towns, where you can visit hundreds of bespoke boutiques and feel immersed in old-country living.For starters, we recommend perusing the pet-friendly cottages of Shaftesbury. Quaint, gorgeous and utterly English, this town is most famous for being the home of ‘Gold Hill’. The steep cobbled street that provided the backdrop for ‘Britain’s favourite TV ad of the 1970s’ - Hovis’ famous bike advert. Not only that, but Dorset is also home to some of the best dog friendly pubs too! Looking for a bite to eat? Discover some of the best dog friendly places to eat in Dorset.

What our customers say about their holidays

  • Clare - Verified booking

    We stayed as a family of 5 at the old stables for 7 nights.

    When we arrived, we were impressed with how clean the property was and the facilities. My children loved the games room and that was a real bonus on the rainy days we had. The property was well kitted out with all the equipment you could need. Plenty of crockery, glasses and cooking utensils. I was especially impressed there was hand wash in every bathroom and the kitchen. There was rinse aid, dishwasher tablets and washing powder and softener for the duration of our stay. It was a lovely touch to have some biscuits and milk left for us after a long journey. We also arrived to fully stocked teabags and sugar. The location of the old stables is perfect and close to all amenities. The crown pub down the road is excellent. If I would recommend anything is improved, I would say the mattresses. They are so hard and don’t offer much support to your back and hips and even my children thought they were hard. Whilst I recognise the importance of durability, I think this is the only minor negative of the accommodation. We will definitely be back and I wouldn’t let the hard mattress put me off.

    We had an absolutely wonderful stay for two nights at The Old Stables.

    The accommodation was just perfect for what we needed and it provided easy access to some great countryside sights and the coast. Everything we could have possibly needed was provided - I've never seen so many cups, glasses etc ... and loved the biscuits :) The only downside was when we first arrived, I walked along the corridor to the end bedroom and hadn't switched the light on. I didn't notice the step, went flying and hit the floor on my knees. I didn't notice anything about the step on the accommodation details (of course I may have missed it), so it would be worth making it a bit clearer if possible as if my elderly mother-in-law had walked down there first, the situation could have been a lot worse. It didn't spoil our break at all - just tender knees for a few days ;) - and we will definitely be coming back. Thank you very much and wishing you all a wonderful Christmas in the meantime. Sue

    What a stunning cottage in a beautiful setting.

    The cottage was a little tricky to find (due to road diversions) but once we reached it, we found a stunning place, a hidden gem almost. We booked for our son's 18th Birthday as he is based in Blandford nearby and although it was a gruelling 5.5 hour journey from Nottinghamshire for us, the cottage made it all worth while. There were 5 of us and two dogs. The local area has some gorgeous dog walks and there is a lovely pub 10 minutes away called the Greyhound (highly recommend - stunning food). The cottage was part of two or three more cottages all surrounding a small courtyard. There was a fab games room there too for all to use. The ONLY negative about our whole stay was the time we had to vacate the property (10am). Is was far too early and put a little dampener on the morning of our son's birthday. 11am or mid-day would have been so much better to get organised.

    The Old Bakery is a beautiful looking cottage and very comfortable to stay in.

    It was equipped with everything you could think off and more. All the little extras were a lovely surprise. Mary, Richard and off course poppy were fantastic host and nothing was too much trouble. I would say the best feature is the garden, my son loved it. There were places to hide, places to run and play, places to climb and best of all the river. Richard took the time to show us what was in it. There was always something new to see in the garden each day. A fantastic place for little explorers. The cottage is a little way from the beach and other attractions but it didn’t matter to us too much, as it was nice to see new places and the scenery. The shops are a 6 minute drive and about the same for a pub meal. We had a lovely time staying here and would recommend it. Thank you for a great holiday.

  • Stephen - Verified booking

    We were very pleased with the spacious property and overall cleanliness.

    The guest information book was very helpful, and provided us with ideas and inspiration about where to visit and best beaches etc . As an observation for the owners, I would suggest upgrading the shower facilities in The Stables. I had to temporarily rig up the shower head in bathroom 1 as the holder grip was flimsy which meant the shower head kept falling out of its mounting when using the shower. The shower cubicle in bathroom 2 is too small for an average sized adult to shower without banging elbows and ability to move around to wash was a little awkward. The water pressure is great but the cubicle sliding doors kept shifting off their mounting and I kept having to refit them after I had showered. Apart from that, everything else was fantastic. Would thoroughly recommend.
