Is Carefree Cottage dog friendly?

Yes, Carefree Cottage welcomes dogs. The cottage has an enclosed rear garden laid out on two terraces, giving your dog somewhere to roam safely while you settle in.

Are dogs allowed at Carefree Cottage year round?

Yes, the cottage is available with dogs year round. If anything, the winter and shoulder seasons are particularly well suited to dog owners — logs are included from October through to the end of April, and the nearby walks at Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove are a different experience entirely when the crowds have gone.

What should I know before visiting Carefree Cottage with my dog?

The rear garden is enclosed but laid out on two terraces connected by seven steps, so it's worth bearing that in mind if your dog has mobility issues — there is a level terrace, but the garden isn't fully flat. The listing mentions one dog is welcome, so if you're travelling with more than one, it's worth checking with the owner before booking.

Book now

Carefree Cottage has not one enclosed garden but two: a south facing lawn at the front, and at the rear a second garden with two terraces, outdoor seating and beautiful views of Bindon Hill. It is a comfortable dog friendly family cottage near Lulworth Cove, decorated in clean, crisp tones with nautical themes, with room for four people and one lucky dog.

In the porch, boots come off after the coast path, and straight ahead is the lounge and diner, light, neutral and inviting, with comfortable furnishings and a wood burner to gather round for a film on the Smart TV while the dog dozes nearby. The well equipped kitchen is reached from the hallway and connects to the lounge through a service window, and a downstairs WC sits off the hall.

Upstairs, the two light filled bedrooms have exposed beams, a king size with a basin and a twin, along with a walk in wardrobe and the family bathroom, which has both a bath and a shower cubicle. Books and DVDs wait in the hallway for the quieter evenings, bike and kayak storage can be arranged, and the dog can stretch out on the south facing lawn while you sit out on the terrace with the hill in view.

The South West Coast Path is less than 1 mile away, and the walk along it to Durdle Door is 2.5 miles of magnificent coastline, with the crystal clear water of Lulworth Cove close by. The beach is a mile from the door, so the dog's walks can start and finish on foot.

We research every description carefully and believe it to be accurate, but details can change. Please confirm anything important, especially dog rules, with the booking agent or property owner before you book.
