Holidays are better when the whole family can come – and that includes our four-legged friends. If the thought of leaving your furry companions at home while you head to the coast pulls on your heartstrings, our dog-friendly cottages in Dorset might make the perfect seaside escape. Many of our holiday cottages are dog-friendly, and several are large enough for two or three dogs. With our sandy beaches, woodland trails and rolling countryside hills, we know your dog will love their holiday just as much as you.
