Dog Friendly Holiday Home Ownership
At West Dorset Leisure Holidays, we are a family-owned and family-run company and as dog owners ourselves, we know that dogs are an important part of the family! Across our parks, we welcome over 7,000 dogs on holiday each year, across nearly 20,000 holiday bookings! Find out more about dog friendly holidays. We offer dog friendly holiday homes and dog friendly static caravans for sale across 6 holiday parks in Dorset!
Whether you go away on holiday or visit your own holiday home regularly, we welcome dogs with open arms. Dog ownership amongst our 500 to 600 holiday home owners is also very popular with so much to see and do with your pets, in the local area, as well as the facilities on-park.
All of our Holiday Homes for sale across our 6 parks are dog-friendly and welcome up to 2 dogs, so there is no need to make arrangements and have the guilt of leaving them behind! It’s their home away from home as well as yours.
Dog Friendly Facilities

Each of our parks has a designated and enclosed, off-lead dog exercising meadow – perfect for giving your pooch a run around and a great time socialising with other dogs.
