Pet-friendly summary
This detached studio on Cooks Lane, in the countryside on the edge of Axminster, is a small self-contained base for exploring Lyme Regis and the Jurassic Coast with a dog. It is set up with dog owners in mind rather than merely putting up with them, and its guest scores are excellent across the board.
Up to two medium-sized dogs or one large dog can stay, at £7.50 per dog per day. Dog owners mention a doggy welcome bag waiting alongside the general welcome package, which sets the tone, and describe the place as cosy, cheerful and well equipped. Inside, the studio has a kitchen, a dining area and a settee with a chair sofabed, and because it is detached there are no shared corridors or neighbours through the wall for a dog to react to.
The hosts get warm comment for being accommodating, including leaving the studio ready for a late arrival. The setting is quiet and rural, with long views across the hills a short stroll down the lane.
The one caveat from owners is the walking on the doorstep. The immediate area is lanes and private land, so a fussy dog can struggle to find a suitable spot for a toilet break, and there is no obvious field for a run-around next door. Plan on a short drive for the main walk of the day - Lyme Regis, Charmouth and the coast path are all close.
Best suited to a solo traveller or couple with one calm dog, or a pair of medium-sized ones, who want a private self-catering base near the coast and do not mind getting in the car for a proper walk. It holds a 4.6/5 paw rating.
