Dog Friendly Hotels in Dorset

Hotels that allow dogs in Dorset

If you’re planning a holiday for the whole family, why not take a look at our dog-friendly hotels in Dorset? For starters, it’s one of the best places in the UK for four-legged friends - thanks to the endless countryside and coastline that’s just waiting to be explored. Visit historic market towns like Dorchester and Christchurch, take in the views at Bournemouth and Poole Harbour, and head to local attractions - Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, Corfe Castle and Chesil Beach.

Dorset is great for its dog walking opportunities in the rolling countryside and beyond. Your furry friends are sure to love splashing around the Dorset coast and the nearby natural beauty is definitely worth a picture. There are also plenty of dog friendly establishments such as pubs with a doggy menu and activities like Swanage Railway and Corfe Model Village.

When you’re not out and about, you’re sure to feel right at home in one of our dog friendly rooms too. From guest houses and summer lodges to country house hotels and boutique accommodation, there’s a Dorset hotel for everyone - and their dog. Many of them are located close to the incredible Jurassic Coast and the Dorset countryside. Some overlook the river and others are just a short walking distance from the action.

Choose from luxury suites and family rooms with large beds, great views, room service and private outdoor space. Some hotels even have hotel spas, swimming pools, and direct access to the best walking routes in the surrounding countryside. And don’t forget about the doggy welcome pack and dog beds as well as a dog wash station for your furry family members.

We even have the popular White Hart in Sturminster Newton, Captain’s Club Hotel, Moonfleet Manor, and the Seaside Boarding House to name a few. From contemporary rooms to Jacobean manor houses, we have a range of dog friendly accommodation to really make it a staycation to remember. One thing’s for sure, everyone will be spoiled here and you won’t forget it in a hurry.

Situated on Weymouth's stunning Seafront and the beautiful Jurassic coast, the Jubilee Hotel West was built in 1855 and is a Grade II listed building full of character and with architectural significance. What this means is we have done our best to make the hotel modern, comfortable and welcoming whilst honouring the buildings beauty. This means that as this building was not purpose built as a hotel every single room is unique (and not all have wheelchair access). We have grouped our rooms into Bronze, Silver and Gold Tiered Rooms all designed to match our customers expectations and requirements and then these are split into additional room types based on the occupancy and beds in the room and the view out the window with some offering Seaview’s over Weymouth Bay. All our rooms are ensuite with showers, with a very limited number of rooms with additional baths. The Jubilee Hotel offers a family-friendly atmosphere, a 24-hour front desk, free Wi-Fi, the opportunity to add on Escape Dungeons, spa treatments and hot tub garden experiences, a smokehouse and grill bar with pool table and beer garden, and clean comfortable rooms. With The Secret Garden Spa open the door to a tranquil reality. Indulge and book (for a charge £) one of our signature massages, facials, nail treatments and spa body treatments. The Secret Garden Spa has 3 treatment rooms, 2 couple suites, a designated nail treatment space and a Secret Garden tucked away with Hot tub, Sauna and Sun Loungers. Our treatments are curated by our in-house beauty team with one goal: “it’s all about you”. Say “Hello” to beautiful treatments, a secret space where you can escape, relax and unwind from the world. Indulge yourself in the flavours and aromas of our on-site Three Chimneys Smokehouse and Grill Restaurant & Bar. It offers fresh local produce, unique home-smoked meats and a good selection of beers, wines, spirits, cocktails, mocktails and soft drinks. We serve breakfast each morning, dinner each evening and a scrumptious carvery from midday Sunday. We also offer some form of entertainment on most evenings, so why not join in the fun? Parking is not included in the cost of your accommodation; however, we have 5 onsite parking options, which operate of a first come first served basis and a team who will do their utmost to advise you. On arrival, please arrive at the rear of the property where our Reception and car parks are located and then our Reception Team will offer you all available car parking options and you can choose for yourself which one suits you best. These include 2 onsite car parks that are £10 per night; a pay and display at the front of the hotel; free parking at 2 long stay car parks close to the hotel; free on street parking close to the hotel; or free blue badge parking on permit spaces or the pay and display surrounding the hotel. For more detailed information please read our fine print. Most of the time our guests get their first choice but on Summer Weekends and the School Holidays our last 10-15 arrivals out of 77 rooms may occasionally get their second, third or fourth choice on the first night and we can then get them their first choice the next morning. Our staff are helpful and approachable and will go the extra mile to meet all your expectations for a comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable stay. Please don't hesitate to speak to one of our team at any time.
