Castles, Beaches and Waterfalls - The Four Legged Foodies Woof About Sherborne, Dorset.
Dorset is a great county to visit with dogs as there are plenty of beautiful places to walk, beaches to explore and fabulous foodie spots to dine.
We were invited to stay at The Eastbury Hotel which is in the pretty town of Sherborne.
Dogs are welcome throughout the hotel including the restaurant and has 9 dog friendly rooms.
We stayed in one of the Potting Shed Suites which have their own secure garden and lots of space for pooches of all sizes (our neighbours were 2 German Shepherds).
The Potting Sheds are located in the Victorian Garden where the hotel grow their own herbs.
The hotel restaurant was not open for dinner so we headed to nearby Italian restaurant Tamburino where the humans enjoyed some delicious pasta and one or two cocktails.
It was a lovely day so we sat outside but dogs are welcome indoors too.
The following morning we enjoyed a sausage each for breakfast before setting out to explore Sherborne.
Sherborne is a pretty market town with lots of history. There are many independent shops who welcome pooches. Our favourites were Circus, Winstone's Books and Forever England.
The town is easy to explore as everything is mostly on one street.
Sherborne also has lots of lovely dog friendly cafes. We tried out Oliver's as it was recommended by the hotel and it didn't disappoint.
The cafe looks small from the street but don't be deceived as it goes back a long way and also has a courtyard garden at the back.
The humans enjoyed tea, coffee and some yummy cakes.
Our favourite discovery in Sherborne was by far Ecco Gelato because they served a banana and peanut butter gelato just for us!
Just outside the town you will find Sherborne Castle which was built by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1594.
Dogs are welcome on leads throughout the grounds of the castle.
It's a lovely place to walk with a lake and waterfalls.
BOOM!!
We were heading to Devon after Dorset so we took the coast road and had a stroll along the path at Hive Beach, Burton Bradstock.
The beach itself is dog friendly between September and April.
The main reason we chose this beach is.......yep, you guessed it - FOOD!
The Hive Beach Cafe has quite a reputation, especially for it's seafood and being super dog friendly.
