Dog-Friendly Accommodation in Poole

A house to share, with clear arrangements

A dog-friendly holiday should be straightforward to organise. Tell us about your dog when you enquire, before you book. The agreed dog charge is £30 per stay, in addition to accommodation and cleaning. The house is shared only by your own group, with two lounges and a kitchen for meals at your own pace. The courtyard is an outdoor sitting space; it is not advertised as a secure dog exercise area.

Before you bring your dog

Bring your dog’s own bedding and keep them off beds and furniture. Dogs must not be left unattended in the house, so plan meals and outings accordingly. Clear up promptly, bag all dog waste and use a public dog-waste bin or public litter bin that accepts it. Do not use the property’s indoor bins or household wheelie bins for dog waste.

Plan outings around your dog

Old Town and the harbour make a useful starting point for walks, but check each attraction, boat operator and restaurant’s pet policy before setting out. Beach access rules can vary by beach and season. Ask the relevant operator rather than assuming dogs can join every activity. For longer coastal outings, choose a route that suits your dog and allow time to return together.

Know the details before you book.

The Mariners is at 24 Market Street, Poole Old Town. Standard beds are two superkings, a double and a bunk bed across four bedrooms. Requests for alternative sleeping arrangements must be agreed in advance and never increase the eight-guest maximum.

The booking deposit is 25%, with the balance due six weeks before arrival, or full payment for bookings made within six weeks. A separate £300 refundable damage deposit applies.
