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.

Libra Cottage dates from the 1740s, a charming Grade II listed thatched cottage in a terrace at the heart of Loders, a beautiful rural Dorset village. Rolling countryside and scenic walks surround it, and there are great routes for walking and cycling leading straight from the door, ideal for the two dogs this dog friendly cottage welcomes.

Two steps from the pavement bring you to the front door and a hallway with room for coats and boots. A further step leads into the charming lounge and diner, a welcoming, cosy room where an inglenook fireplace sits alongside the Smart TV. Logs for the first fire in the wood burner are included. With the dogs stretched out by the hearth, this is where a home cooked supper and a favourite programme round off the day.

The kitchen is set to the back of the cottage, with the bathroom leading from it, and winding cottage stairs rise to a pretty double at the front and a cosy single overlooking the garden. Low beams and vaulted ceilings are peppered throughout, and they only add to the character. Out at the back, the pretty terraced garden is fully enclosed, with steps leading up through several levels to a lovely seating area at the top, a tranquil spot to sit with a glass as the dogs explore.

Bridport is close by for restaurants and a thriving run of antique and vintage shops, and West Bay, made famous by Broadchurch, has its sandy beach and cliffs. The Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the chocolate box villages around Loders are close at hand, so the dogs will find a new walk every day.
