Perhaps you are travelling with your dog in tow, or maybe you have young children; browse our selection of Dorset cottages with enclosed gardens to give you peace of mind when visiting our coastal county.

Dorset Cottage with Enclosed Gardens

More than half of our Dorset holiday cottages are pet friendly, with lots of these also benefitting from the safety of an enclosed garden. When we are at home, we trust our dogs in their familiar surroundings and put measures in place to ensure they stay out of trouble. However, when we travel with our furry friends by our side, ensuring they are safe at all times can be a bit of a worry. While we can stay close with watchful eyes, it’s tricky to relax when we’re alert at all hours.

Our Dorset cottages with enclosed gardens can help alleviate this worry. Your dog can be let out confidently throughout the day, and when you spend time outside, they can join you. Make the most of the good weather and dine outdoors or relax in the sunshine with a cold drink and a gripping book. We want our holiday cottages to feel like a home from home and with an enclosed garden, it’s a lot easier.

Family-friendly

Cottages with Enclosed Gardens

When you head out of the city to escape to the Dorset coast, relaxing and recouping is likely to be a number one priority. And that is definitely well-deserved. But our kids have a lot more energy than us, and even after a day of fossil hunting, sandcastle building and time spent exploring the local attractions, they’re still bursting with excitement. While cramming around the coffee table to play games or watch films can do the trick, sometimes when the sun is shining and there’s time to be spent outdoors, a cottage with a secure garden is essential.

We have a great selection of Dorset cottages with enclosed gardens that can be enjoyed by the whole family. While you cook dinner or catch up with friends, your children can run off steam in the garden without worry because you know they are safe. Encourage time away from screens and immerse your little ones in nature. Many of our gardens look beautiful in bloom, and when the sun is high in the sky, nothing beats time spent outside.

Peace of Mind with a

Dorset Cottage with an Enclosed Garden

A safe and secure holiday property will give you and your family peace of mind while you’re away. However, just like when you’re at home, an enclosed garden is only as secure as you make it. Before letting your beloved pets or children have full reign of a cottage’s outdoor space, it’s important that any external gates or doors are locked shut. And if your little ones can reach any handles, bolts or latches, a watchful eye will be needed while they play. Now, that little piece of housekeeping is out of the way, you can browse our full selection of Dorset holiday cottages with enclosed gardens below.
