Extremely dog- friendly

A lovely place to stay, slightly off the tourist track, peaceful, rural. The property is wonderful for dogs, our two pointers had a great time. Only half an hours drive to wonderful beaches on the Jurassic coast, which in low season (we were here in March) are great for dogs too. A very comfortable and relaxing stay.
