🍂 Fancy a little autumn escape?

Sometimes a few days away is all you need.

A soak in your own private hot tub, cosy evenings in front of the log burner, beautiful Dorset walks and plenty of time to simply slow down.

And of course, four-legged guests are very welcome too 🐾💚

We still have a little availability this autumn at Wild Meadow Cottages.

Come and enjoy Dorset at one of our favourite times of year. 🍁

🐾 Dog-Friendly Weymouth

Bringing your four-legged friend to Dorset? There are so many lovely places to explore together around Weymouth. 💚

🌊 Bowleaze Cove – dogs are welcome all year round and it’s a lovely spot for a coastal wander.

🐾 Weymouth Beach – there’s a designated dog-friendly section near the Pavilion all year round, and from 1st October to 30th April dogs can enjoy the main sandy beach too.

🌿 Greenhill to Overcombe – another lovely stretch where dogs are welcome all year.

🥾 South West Coast Path – perfect for stretching your legs a little further and taking in some of our beautiful Dorset coastline.

⚓ Weymouth Harbour & Nothe – a favourite for a wander, with plenty of places to stop along the way.

And back at Wild Meadow Cottages, you don’t have to go far for a walk either. We have our own large field just a stone’s throw from the cottages — perfect for getting out with your dog first thing in the morning or for that last little wander of the day. 🐕🌿

We’re definitely a dog-loving family here at Wild Meadow! These are our three Maddy, Lottie & Indie 🐶🐶🐶

There’s something rather lovely about Weymouth at this time of year 🤍

The summer crowds have gone, the beach is quieter and it’s the perfect time to wrap up, take a long stroll along the seafront and just enjoy being by the sea.

And afterwards? Back to your cottage, pop the log burner on, pour yourself something nice and sink into your own private hot tub. ♨️

We’re getting really booked up now, with just a small amount of availability remaining in November and a little more in December.

Sometimes a few quiet days away is exactly what’s needed. 🥰

✨ Thinking ahead to Christmas…

How about treating that special someone to a little escape before the Christmas rush begins? ❤️

From 1st December, Wild Meadow Cottages will be dressed for Christmas — twinkling tree, cosy log burner and your own private hot tub waiting for you. 🎄🔥

A few days to slow down, switch off and enjoy some time together before the main event begins.

Sometimes the best treat isn’t something you wrap… it’s time together. 🥂✨

A guest recently asked if we had a slow cooker and, although we didn’t at the time, it got me thinking… actually, what a great idea! 😊

Imagine popping something in before heading out for a day exploring beautiful Dorset, then coming back to the cottage with that lovely smell of dinner cooking. 🍲

Hot tub, log burner on, PJs, a good film and dinner ready and waiting… now that sounds like a holiday! 🔥❤️

So we now have a slow cooker in each cottage! Hopefully the guest who gave me the idea will be back to make good use of one next time. 😊

Making memories 💕

Last weekend Rob and I took some of the grandkids on a boat trip from Lulworth Cove to Durdle Door and it was amazing! 🚤☀️

We all loved it. Seeing Durdle Door and the coastline from the sea was just stunning and the boat ride was great fun — definitely one of those afternoons we’ll remember.

We just turned up and booked when we got there. It was £25 for adults and £15 for children and parking at Lulworth Cove was £9 for 3 hours. We took a picnic with us and made an afternoon of it.

If you’re staying at the cottages, we can really recommend this one. Such a lovely way to spend a few hours and well worth the money.

Real memory box stuff 💕

Sometimes you don’t need a big day out — just a picnic, some sunshine, a beautiful view and time together. 💛
