Is Homeleigh dog friendly?

Yes, Homeleigh welcomes up to two dogs in its one bedroom cottage, which is a generous allowance for a property of this size. It comes with an enclosed lawned garden — reached by steps down from the entrance — giving your dogs a safe outdoor space to use.

Are dogs allowed at Homeleigh year round?

The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and being set inland at Salwayash rather than on the coast means you won't run into the beach access limitations that can affect dog-friendly stays closer to the sea. It's worth confirming directly with the owner if you're planning a visit at a specific time of year.

What should I know before visiting Homeleigh with my dog?

The main thing to picture before you arrive is the garden: it sits below the house rather than level with it, accessed by steps down from the entrance. This is no trouble for most dogs, but if yours has bad hips or mobility issues it's worth factoring in. On the plus side, Golden Cap — the highest point on the south coast — is under three miles away, and Seatown Beach and West Bay are both reachable within four miles for coastal days out.

Homeleigh was lovingly converted from a former agricultural building on a working farm at Salwayash, and its wooden beams and wood burner give it real charm. This single storey dog friendly hideaway sleeps two people with two dogs, and lovely French doors open onto an enclosed lawned garden, with rolling countryside all around and iconic Colmer's Hill among it.

A stroll through the garden brings you to four steps and the entrance doors. Inside, one striking open plan room holds the kitchen along one wall, space for leisurely meals opposite and a lounge corner where the Smart TV shares the room with the wood burner, a basket of logs waiting for the first fire. Both dogs will have claimed the hearth before the kettle boils. Next door is a comfortable super king bedroom, available as a twin on request, with a smart en suite.

Back out through the entrance doors, steps lead down to the enclosed lawn, set with furniture for dining and a charcoal barbecue. It is the natural place for the dogs to stretch out while supper cooks. For a slower afternoon there is carp fishing on site, booked ahead with the owner before arrival.

Salwayash is 0.5 miles away and the coast only 3.5 miles, with the eclectic town of Bridport close by for independent shops and eateries. Symondsbury, West Bay, Golden Cap, Lyme Regis, Charmouth and Burton Bradstock all make easy outings. The dogs can pick up the South West Coast Path, or head inland to hike up Lewesdon Hill and Pilsdon Pen for wide views over this verdant part of Dorset.
