Shedbush Farm House is one of a collection of former 17th-century farm buildings nestled at the base of a valley. Step out of the front door and you'll be greeted with far-reaching views over to Golden Cap. Inside, the cottage's exposed beams, low ceilings and barn doors give it a rustic charm, while the large, enclosed garden is perfect for dogs to run and play.

This stylish former bakery sits close to Corfe Castle and has retained its original features, including the old bread oven and remnants of the bakers' implements. With room for six humans and two dogs you can bring the whole family along. From here, take advantage of the many walking trails that start at the castle and finish your day in front of the fire.

This pet-friendly former tennis pavilion overlooks the stunning Studland Bay. You can laze on the cottage's veranda with your four-legged friend and watch the waves.

Hide away in this rural retreat with your pooch - two if you wish. Located at the heart of the Jurassic Coast, you're well placed to discover this world famous stretch of coastline, with its dog-friendly beaches and endless walking trails. After a day's exploring, retreat inside to rest those weary paws in front of the wood-burning fire.

Sitting atop a hill on the Golden Cap estate is this former farmworker's cottage. It overlooks tree-framed vistas of the rolling countryside which gives way to the south Dorset coastline. There's an enclosed garden for pup to stretch his legs and a 10 mile stretch of the Golden Cap on your doorstep.
North Cottage
Located on the same farmyard as The Bakehouse, North Cottage can accommodate three humans and two dogs.

Look out from the hide across the mudflats and reed beds where thousands of waders, ducks and geese gather to feed.

Sitting in the shadows of Corfe Castle is this traditional, pet-friendly thatched cottage. With the castle within easy reach, Kimmeridge Bay a 15-minute drive away, there's something for every pooch. The seaside towns of Bournemouth and Poole are nearby, so there's plenty to keep humans happy too.
