Reviews
Though a bit tricky to find, it is well worth the effort. This dog friendly cottage comes with everything you could need, very warm and cosy even in the coldest months. The location is great, right in the middle of Dorset as all the usual attractions are in easy reach. The nearby railway walk in Sturminster Newton is perfect for dog walking. Good food available locally too, most pubs we found we dog friendly and welcoming. We will definitely come back here next time we're in Dorset.
