Pet-friendly summary
This three-bedroom cottage is in Osmington, a small Dorset village about five miles east of Weymouth, and the location is the reason to book it with a dog. Lanes and field paths start at the edge of the village, the chalk white horse cut into the hillside looks down over it, and Osmington Mills and the South West Coast Path are a short walk or a two-minute drive south.
It is often described as a Weymouth cottage, so it is worth being clear about the geography: this is a village stay, not a seaside-town one. The seafront and harbour are a ten-minute drive rather than a stroll, so the walks you can do from the door are the coast-path ones above Osmington Mills, and anything in Weymouth itself needs the car. For plenty of dog owners that is a good trade, with quieter nights and open country in place of promenade access.
The cottage is let as a whole house to a single party, so there are no shared entrances or landings to cross, which makes arriving with a dog straightforward. Three bedrooms give a family or two couples room to spread out, and dog owners who have stayed describe it as a comfortable base with good walking in every direction.
Two practical points. Weymouth's main beach runs a seasonal dog ban through the summer months with dog-friendly stretches at either end, so check the current rules if you are visiting in July or August. And the cottage takes one pet per booking, which rules out multi-dog households. With a 4.5 out of 5 paw rating, it suits a family or a couple with one dog who want Dorset walking on the doorstep and are happy to drive to the seafront.
