Pet-friendly summary
Violet Bay is a strong Weymouth dog-stay pick with two features the recent pet-traveller review explicitly singles out: a garden for the dogs (a real plus given the recent guest brought multiple dogs) and an easy-to-find central position with accessible parking nearby. The 9.4/10 baseline across 6 reviews suggests consistent quality, and the recent guest's only 'cons' note was 'nothing' - a clean positive review.
The Weymouth location works for a Dorset coastal-and-walking dog stay. Weymouth Beach has year-round dog-friendly access at the eastern Pavilion end, with the central section subject to the seasonal May-September dog ban. The South West Coast Path runs through Weymouth, with Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door 20 minutes east and Lyme Regis 50 minutes west. The garden at the property gives day-to-day dog access during the stay without needing every break to be a beach walk.
One practical note from the recent reviewer: the property does not have on-site parking, though parking nearby is easy to find. For dog owners specifically the implication is that arrival with a dog plus luggage requires a short walk from the parking spot to the property - manageable for most stays, but worth knowing if the dog is reactive to walking through residential streets straight off a long journey. Otherwise the property delivers cleanly on dog-stay fundamentals.
Best suited to: a couple or family bringing one or two dogs (any size, given the garden) for a Weymouth coastal break, valuing garden access and town walkability. Less suitable for guests needing dedicated on-site parking right at the door.
