We decided on Dorset as it's only a couple of hours from home, so if we forgot anything or it all went terribly wrong, we could get home easily. As it turned out, there was nothing for us to worry about.
We had booked a dog-friendly cottage in Eype, a small village a couple of miles from Bridport. Whilst it was dog friendly, it had similar standards to us at home, no dogs on the sofa or upstairs and clean up after their comfort breaks. As such, it was clean and tidy with no smell of dog. I have to admit to being slightly anxious when we met a number of cars on the single track road on the way there, and had to squeeze past one with millimetres to spare, but luckily it was a one-off.
Our home for the week |
Momentarily still and damp from sea spray |
The gardens with wicker rutting deer |
One man and his dog |
Such an iconic view |
As you can tell by Barney's ears, the weather was a little breezy! |
The weather was a bit murky by the time we reached Lulworth Cove |
Look at that hill! |
I love the zigzags that the waves have made on the sand |
Another iconic Dorset view |
For our final day, we chose a more relaxing day out, a walk around Minterne Gardens, known for its rhododendron collection. There were paths through the gardens which we explored before heading back to the area next to the house for lunch.

If you're looking for a dog friendly break in the UK, Dorset is certainly worth considering. There are a number of dog friendly beaches and other days out. Barney had a great time, and we enjoyed it as by the time we got him back to the cottage he just wanted to sleep. Something for everyone!
