Return from long walks through the picturesque Dorset countryside to bask out in the sunshine with your canine companion or relax next to a roaring wood burner when you stay at this Weymouth cottage. The two-bedroom retreat also makes a superb dog-friendly choice for anyone seeking to enjoy trips out along the coast. Set close to the harbour, the charming 19th-century, former sailor’s home sleeps four guests and has a pretty courtyard garden.
Open the door to the period abode and take your pup inside to find comfortable accommodation that suits four-legged guests as much as everyone else. Light the wood burner in the lounge on chilly days and let your pal curl up in its cosy heat, while you watch the Smart TV for a spell. Head through to the kitchen/diner when your hungry hound starts asking for his dinner. Feed him in here, lay the table for everyone else’s meal and open the doors to the garden on warm days. The bedrooms at the cottage are upstairs on the first floor – a lovely double bedroom and a twin. The family bathroom is down two stairs. Enjoy the sea air out in the garden with your waggy-tailed friend during the spring and summer months. Parking is on the street, subject to availability.
Grab the dog lead and walk less than 0.5 miles to let your four-pawed friend stretch his legs on a walk through Nothe Gardens. You can also take him into the fort here when you visit. There is a dog-friendly stretch of Weymouth Beach, 0.5 miles away, too, near the Pavilion. Walk out through the West Dorset Heritage Coast on the South West Coast Path. Have a day trip to Lulworth Cove, 14 miles away, on the Isle of Purbeck, where four-legged visitors are welcome.
