Corfe Castle is a village built from the same Purbeck stone as the ruin standing over it, and St Edmunds House is a four bedroom place in the middle of it with an open fire, three bathrooms and two dogs welcome. Eight people.

The walking figures here are the best in the tranche. The Corfe Castle to Worth Matravers circular starts three tenths of a mile from the door and scores a nine on our map. Four tenths of a mile the other way, Stonehill Down rates an eight. Nine Barrow Down is three and six tenths and Chapman's Pool three and four tenths. Two seriously good walks inside half a mile means your dog can have a full day out before you have finished breakfast.

Fenced, with a sheltered terrace, which in a village that fills with day visitors is worth having, because it means two dogs have ground that is not pavement. The steam railway runs through Corfe, which is either a bonus or a thing to get used to depending on your dog. Two walks starting within half a mile means you can be out of the village before the first coach arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is St Edmunds House dog friendly?
Yes, St Edmunds House welcomes up to two dogs. The property has a fenced garden with a sheltered terrace, so your dogs have proper outdoor space to themselves rather than just pavement — particularly welcome in a village that draws a lot of day visitors.
Are dogs allowed at St Edmunds House year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, but we'd recommend confirming directly with the owner when you book to be sure nothing has changed.
What should I know before visiting St Edmunds House with my dog?
The steam railway runs through Corfe Castle, which is worth bearing in mind if your dog is sensitive to noise — it's something to factor in or get used to during your stay. On the upside, two of our highest-rated Purbeck walks start within half a mile of the door, so you can be out into open countryside well before the village gets busy.
