Dog-friendly Dorset
Well-behaved dogs are welcome at Forest View Retreat on request — please mention your dog when you enquire so we can confirm before you book.
Walks from the door
Cannon Hill Forest is beside the property, so woodland walks from the doorstep need no car journey.
The New Forest
About 20 minutes away and excellent for dogs, though livestock and ponies roam freely, so keep dogs under close control.
Beaches
Dog restrictions apply on the main Bournemouth and Poole beaches during the summer season and vary by beach — always check the current local rules before you travel.
Pubs and cafés
Wimborne and the surrounding villages have dog-friendly pubs, but call ahead in peak season rather than assume.
