Book now with Booking.com

On the clifftops above Swanage Bay, at the eastern edge of the Jurassic Coast and a short distance from Corfe Castle, The Pines Hotel has lawns looking out to sea and its own steps down to the sandy beach below. From this dog friendly hotel, Swanage town centre is a lovely walk along the seafront, so town and bay are both on foot.

Across the hotel, many bedrooms have balconies and uninterrupted sea views across Swanage Bay towards the Isle of Wight, while those facing inland look across the rolling Purbeck Hills, and all have private en suite facilities. Two well behaved dogs at most can share a room, and as restrictions apply, the hotel asks you to enquire with it directly, so ask which rooms take dogs. The Pines does not say if a dog is allowed to stay alone in the room, so settle that as you book.

The lounge and bar is a spacious room open to non residents, looking straight over the bay to Old Harry Rocks in the north and the Isle of Wight to the east, with patio doors into the garden. As for dogs, the hotel doesn't mention if yours may come into the lounge, the bar or the restaurant, so check before your stay. In the refurbished restaurant the chefs make most dishes from scratch, source from Dorset suppliers wherever possible, and serve lunches, including a Sunday roast, and dinners seven days a week.

The day starts with a hearty breakfast of freshly prepared hot and continental options before you and the dog head out. Of the beaches Wildpack maps as dog friendly, Swanage North Beach is closest, at 0.3 miles from the door, while Wildpack lists Studland Beach to Old Harry Rocks among its walks, 1.7 miles from the hotel.
