1 / 14Sea Whispers Cottage
Poole, Dorset
A two bedroom cottage for four off Penn Hill in Poole, with two wood burners, a small enclosed lawned garden, doggy extras and two dogs welcome.
Sea Whispers Cottage is a two bedroom dog friendly cottage just off Penn Hill in Poole, sleeping four with two dogs welcome, and it sits between the two things a dog owner in this town tends to want: the sand of Poole Bay, 1.5 miles away, and the cafés and wine bars of Ashley Cross, close enough to walk to with a dog on a lead.
There are two wood burners, one in the kitchen and dining room and another in the sitting room, so a dog gets a choice of fire to lie in front of. Upstairs are a king bedroom, a second with a zip and link super king that can be made up as two singles, and a family bathroom with bath and shower. A welcome pack is waiting, and it includes doggy extras.
The garden behind is enclosed and lawned, small and secure, with a table, chairs and a barbecue on the patio. It suits a couple and a pair of dogs very well. Breakfast outside, the dogs on the grass, and in the evening the barbecue lit while two dogs sit beside it and watch every move with close attention.
Branksome Dene Chine and Canford Cliffs are the nearest beaches, each reached down a wooded chine to the sea, and Sandbanks runs on beyond them. From the end of Sandbanks the chain ferry crosses the harbour mouth to Studland, with its heath and long sands, and the Purbeck ridge behind. The New Forest, open woodland and heath with ponies loose across it, is an easy day out with a dog.

Book with cottages.comFrequently Asked Questions
Is Sea Whispers Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Sea Whispers Cottage welcomes up to two dogs. The cottage has a small enclosed lawned garden where dogs can roam safely, and a welcome pack is provided that includes doggy extras.
Are dogs allowed at Sea Whispers Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the property directly to confirm availability for your travel dates. That said, with two wood burners to choose from, it's easy to picture a very contented dog here in the colder months.
What should I know before visiting Sea Whispers Cottage with my dog?
The cottage takes a maximum of two dogs, and the enclosed garden is described as small, so it's better suited to a pair of dogs than a larger group. Nearby beaches at Branksome Dene Chine and Canford Cliffs are easily reachable, as is Studland via the Sandbanks chain ferry, though beach dog restrictions can vary seasonally so it's worth checking local rules before you go.
