Dog Friendly Dorchester Holiday Cottages

Dorchester is a great base for exploring the local area. Wednesday is market day, but the shops are always bustling with a variety of local wares. Dorchester also has an arts centre, a vibrant live music scene, and many seasonal events. With Roman ruins, an array of pubs, cafes and restaurants, and walking trails through the town that incorporate art installations, there's plenty to do. The Jurassic Coast and its fossils are not far away, and the town is also home to a dinosaur museum with a reconstructed Tyrannosaurus rex.

At Dog Friendly Cottages we believe your pup should be part of all your fun adventures. That's why we specialise in dog-friendly cottages in Dorchester and beyond. Whether you're after a self-catering cottage with views of the Dorset Downs, or a sleek family-friendly holiday home with a log fire, we've got you covered. We can help you find the perfect getaway, from traditional cosy cottages to luxurious romantic retreats.

Our holiday cottages in Dorchester are located to make the most of Dorset. From the inviting sands of Weymouth to the marina at Poole, there's something for everyone here.

Best dog-friendly locations in Dorset

What our customers say about their holidays

  • Roger - Verified booking

    There is much to like about Deer Leap Cottage, its wonderful grounds and amenities, not to mention the deer!

    However, based on our experiences, there are a number of important issues which I feel I should share with others who might be considering booking. We were a party of 4 adults, 3 children aged 9, 4 and 17 months and a dog. A couple of weeks prior to our departure my daughter made a number of unsuccessful attempts to communicate with you about the provision of equipment. There was never an answer or reply, so I used the online facility to request a high chair and a stair gate prior to our visit. When we arrived, a high chair without a tray was provided but no stair gate. We tried to make contact again immediately but again no answer or reply. We had to improvise with a make-shift clumsy and inconvenient workaround until a stair gate arrived. It never did, for the entire duration of our stay. Believe me, this is a big deal if you have a highly mobile toddler. If you don’t have a stair gate or have no intention of providing one, then please don’t pretend that you will, and make this clear in your pre-booking information so visitors can properly evaluate if the property will meet their needs. There was no pool code readily provided to us upon arrival as promised. Our neighbours in the main house kindly provided us with it from their information booklet. Our information booklet went undiscovered for a couple of days until we noticed it in an unmarked folder in an unexpected location. There is no WiFi in the main living accommodation of the cottage. This is a plain fact, not an opinion. Huddling up against the interconnecting door to the adjoining main house to tap into their WiFi does not cut it. As a consequence of no useable WiFi, access to the claimed Netflix and Sky services is not available, Freeview only. I notice that from previous reviews that this is an ongoing situation. If the subscription payments are being made you need to raise this with your service provider immediately. If you do not intend to rectify this then please be honest about it instead of accusing your guests of tampering with the equipment. Mid week, our neighbours kindly provided us with a high chair complete with a tray that they did not need after they heard about our difficulty using the provided one at meal times as it did not match the table height in the kitchen. On our final day of our holiday my wife finally tracked you down while you were visiting the main house, hoping to discuss our unresolved issues with you before leaving. When presented with our numerous unresolved issues (more than I have had space to communicate in this review), you declined to discuss these issues with us so my wife returned to the cottage for a couple of minutes to provide you with a written list. During the few minutes that it took for us to provide you with the list, you hastily departed from the premises, leaving it to the housekeeping staff to make your excuses that you had “needed urgently to leave due to a sudden family crisis” . We hope all is well with your family and I have deliberately delayed writing this review for a week in the hope that you might contact us with some explanations. None have been forthcoming. Based on our experience, we could not recommend staying at your holiday accommodation as we do not have confidence that you can deliver the service and provision that you advertise and accept full payment for.

    The plus side is the location, beautiful setting, close to a wonderful pub and near to towns and beach.

    The cottage has a lot of potential and the owner is very pleasant. But...the kitchen is very poorly equipped, 3 saucepans and two small baking trays, no frying pan, no grill rack, lots of empty cupboards. There is a decent sized fridge and a freezer (but no ice tray) no dishwasher which is desirable in this sized cottage. There is simply not enough catering equipment for 6 adults (potentially what the cottage can sleep). Being a self catering cottage you would expect to be able to adequately cater for the whole family, not in this case. I tried to speak to the owner but mobile signals are non-existent and when I tried to find the owners I was told they were at work, the children handed me a small frying pan. The single beds are extremely uncomfortable and creak every time you move, the pillows provided were very thin. Only one room had spare pillows for those of us who like two pillows each (a must if the pillows are this thin). We were provided with one small bath towel each, no hand towels in any of the rooms or the bathroom. Fortunately there were only 5 of us so we hand one extra towel and three of us had bought pool towels with us just in case we had a swim in the pool. The heating is controlled in the main house (where the owners live), there is no option in the cottage to switch it on or off. If the owners switch it on then you can turn it down at the thermostat or radiators. But if it off in the main house there is no heating in your cottage. Two of the bedrooms did not have any heating as the radiators did not work. A light in the kitchen kept flashing and we had to turn it off. This is a dog friendly cottage but understandably dogs are not allowed upstairs, with this in mind to keep the dogs downstairs there should be a stair gate or something to block the stairs. There is not enough seating in the lounge for 6 people unless you all sit upright and right next to one another on the sofa. The dining table in the lounge is not needed as there is sufficient dining area in the kitchen, the dining table could be replaced by two easy chairs. The weirdest thing were the connecting doors to the main house, downstairs is a door in the hallway which links to the kitchen of the owners house, it is an internal door and we could plainly hear them talking and moving around on the other side of the door, at one point I was aware of someone stood the other side listening to our conversation. Upstairs on the landing there is a similar internal door linking the cottage to the main house. Both doors had bolts on which prevented them from being opened from the main house but it was a really strange set up and made us feel uncomfortable.

    The cottage was lovely and very well equipped, very clean and set in stunning grounds.

    Hannah was on hand and responded to all messages, however there are some points I believe should be addressed as it did ruin our week. Deer Leap Cottage seems to come secondary to Deer Leap House (both properties attached) due to the size difference. Deer Leap House has seven bedrooms and as such there is space for 3 families or 14 sharing adults….. Deer Leap Cottage has 3 bedrooms so 1 family or 6 sharing adults. Therefore those staying in Deer Leap House monopolise the pool (as in our case) and tennis courts etc. This was not clear when we booked. We paid for the use of the pool and other facilities but barely got to use them due to the other family. They did nothing wrong as they were using the facilities they paid for, which is what we SHOULD have been able to do! We got in the pool for about 1 hour in the evenings when the other families and children were out and 1 day when the other family left early. NOT what we paid for, I believe there should be a week-on / week-off rota for fairness. Had I been told I would be sharing a pool that’s barely big enough for 5 adults with 15 strangers I would not have booked it. The pool is just is not big enough to accommodate that many people from 2 separate properties. Also anyone staying in Deer Leap House have to walk right passed the front of Deer Leap cottage to get to the pool. The other family kept apologising as we were trying to relax in the cottages garden. This is the only garden area for the cottage, Therefore you have absolutely no privacy, whereas the house does! Those walking passed also can see right into the lounge of the cottage as there are no net curtains so again no privacy. Perhaps a hedge or fence to protect privacy of those staying in the cottage would be an idea, or at the very least some net curtains. There was no parasol over the seating area of the cottage yet the house had parasols, garden swing seats etc. I did ask but did not get one so during the heatwave we had no parasol and no pool (as it was over run with the guests from the house). Therefore we sat indoors, not what we paid for! The joining doors in the cottage to the house are thin and you can hear everything. Sadly we had a family that was very loud at night, lots of screaming arguments and swearing, not the owners fault but quite frustrating. Although the listing does say the pool is shared its not explained very well. We feel quite let down, the property is not the cheapest due to the wonderful faculties on offer, sadly we just didn’t get to use any as we would have liked due to the sheer numbers of the occupants in the house

    We stayed at Farwood Cottage in the Easter Holidays. The location was perfect, 10 mins away from DurdleDoor/Lulworth Cove, Ringstead Bay and close to Weymouth. The cottage is located on a bridal way and is a bit out of the way of the main road. This wasn't a problem for us at all. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised with a gated parking area right outside the cottage. The cottage was clean and well presented with a real authentic feel. The kitchen had everything you would need utensils and pans for cooking. The bedrooms were very cosy and the beds were extremely comfortable. The bed lining was super soft, it felt lovely. Two bedrooms had a lovely view into the garden with horses on the field behind the garden. The stairs were steep and the upstairs doorways and kitchen doorway were low, my husband kept hitting his head. The upstairs bathroom was our least favourite room of the house. It was very dark and the lighting kept flickering. It just had a bit of an eerie feel to it. The shower was nice and powerful. There was a Farwood cottage booklet in the lounge with all of the information that you would need for your stay. It was very informative. The lounge was nice, again a little dark, but the wood burner was a nice addition. We bought our own wood and fire lighters and got it going in the evenings. The garden was nice but the grass could have done with a cut, it was a bit overgrown. But it was lovely having the horses at the end of the garden. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this cottage. It was in a perfect location and was a lovely cosy cottage for our family of 5. We would recommend.

  • Mrs Noyce - Verified booking

    Very disappointed to have rang before booking and checking of there was a dishwasher which stated on the website, the guy at the time confirmed there was everything we needed, which we was torn between wales or closer to home for a shorter drive.. as we arrived all seemed ok and beautiful so I decided to do a thorough check to see if we needed more pots or plates etc as my husband was coming later in the day , anyway the first thing we noticed NO DISHWASHER despite the website saying and the guy on the phone telling me there was, I rung to ask where was it located and Lauren who was a lovely lady called me back to say no there’s never been a dishwasher on that property which was a massive disappointment I instantly wanted to ask for my money back and go home as I work long hrs that was meant to be my Xmas present from my family to do nothing just cook and chill I then checked the rug & that hadn’t been hoovered properly as there was dog fur still the tiles in the kitchen were dirty and as I like to disinfect the sides I wiped the work tops and were dirty.. the flash upstairs only my husband could get it to flash which was a nightmare So we had to carry buckets of water up when someone used it over night, Over all I would never use the original cottages to book anything else anymore as they clearly mislead people. Very very disappointing but least now people are warned if you plan going there for a Xmas break you will be cooking and washing up constantly… Family asked for the details and I have refused to recommend it to anyone as I would expected better cleaning and at least a dishwasher as there’s enough room for one..
