Many of our Dorset dog-friendly cottages come with enclosed gardens, so your dog can roam freely while you relax in the hot tub. Or if being by the sea rejuvenates you, our coastal range means your dog is never far away from golden stretches of sand. Perhaps you're looking for a little luxury? Then our five-star luxury cottages call your name.

Our favourite dog-friendly places to stay in Dorset

Of course, we have to recommend staying on the magnificent Jurassic Coast. Beaches, caves and countryside – what more could you and your dog want? You could also stay in Studland Bay, or over in Exmouth, and still be within reach of the stunning Jurassic Coast.

Another popular area to visit is Corfe Castle, where we also have a wide variety of cottages. It's famous for its historic castle, but it has so much more to offer. With a wide range of walks your dog will love, and dog-friendly Pier Beach, you won't be bored for a moment.

Plan your dog-friendly holiday in Dorset

With so much space to run free and so many great places to go for walks, not forgetting the pet-friendly pubs to revive after a trek, Dorset is a great destination for dog-friendly holidays.

Just some of our favourite Dorset pastimes where your dog can come along include visiting the Arne RSPB nature reserve.

You also can't miss experiencing the beautiful Dorset countryside on a steam and diesel passenger train transporting you from Norden to Corfe Castle, and back in time to the Victorian seaside town.

And finally, visit the award-winning Dinosaur Museum in Dorchester to see fossils, dinosaur skeletons and more. This attraction is fun for the whole family, dogs included.
