1 / 24Libra Cottage
Loders, Dorset
A two bedroom cottage at Loders with a fully enclosed terraced garden, two dogs welcome, and the River Brit walk under five miles away.
Loders is a stone village in the Asker valley a couple of miles inland from Bridport, and Libra Cottage is a two bedroom place in it sleeping three, with a fully enclosed terraced rear garden and two dogs welcome.
Inland west Dorset is badly under-walked and this makes a good base for a dog that would rather have a valley to itself than share a beach. The Mangerton Mill and River Brit walk is four and seven tenths of a mile and takes a seven from us, following water through a valley most visitors drive straight past on their way to the coast. Golden Cap at the same distance takes a nine. West Bay is three miles and Hive Beach at Burton Bradstock three and three tenths.
The garden rises in terraces with steps between the levels, fully enclosed throughout, which for two dogs means room arranged vertically rather than one flat lawn. Sleeping three keeps this small and personal, and at five hundred and twenty two pounds it is among the cheaper ways onto this stretch of Dorset without sitting on the main road through it.

Is Libra Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Libra Cottage welcomes up to two dogs. It has a fully enclosed terraced rear garden, so your dogs can be outside safely without you having to worry about them wandering off.
Are dogs allowed at Libra Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, but we'd recommend contacting the owner directly to confirm availability for your dates and any specific house rules around pets.
What should I know before visiting Libra Cottage with my dog?
The rear garden is fully enclosed but arranged across terraces with steps between the levels, so it's worth bearing that in mind if your dog struggles with uneven ground. The cottage sleeps three and takes a maximum of two dogs, so it's a smaller, more personal stay rather than a large group property.
