We have stayed at Bubbs cottage for 10 years and it never disappoints. Its great for our dogs with an entrance porch, utility room and large kitchen. The fully enclosed garden is perfect. The location is superb , just a few miles from Durdle Door & Lulworth Cove and great for exploring the Jurassic coast and all that Dorset has to offer.

Bubbs Cottage is a really cosy, well equipped cottage in a great location for visiting stunning beaches. Very dog friendly with a safe enclosed garden and a small green near by that you can safely let dogs off lead to exercise.

Quiet area with vey little traffic noise. Plenty of pleasant walks around the lanes and footpaths. Local pub a couple of hundred yards away - opens evenings 6 days per week.
