- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.

Pet-friendly summary
Fawley is a large self-catering house on the edge of Lyme Regis, and its appeal for anyone travelling with a dog is mostly structural: you get the whole place to yourselves, there is no shared entrance or corridor, and it sits in a quiet spot a short way out of the town rather than in the middle of it. Up to two pets are allowed. It earns a 4.3/5 paw rating.
The house sleeps around seven across four bedrooms and is consistently described as clean, spacious and properly equipped, with a refurbished kitchen and bathroom. Guests travelling with a dog describe it as comfortably big enough for a family group plus the dog without anyone being on top of anyone else, which is the main thing a party of that size needs from a house.
The setting is quiet, with easy access down to the beach and the shops, and the Jurassic Coast path close enough for a proper morning walk. Be ready for hills: Lyme Regis is built on a slope and the walk back up from the seafront is a steady climb, which is fine for most dogs and less fun with a pushchair alongside.
The garden is a pleasant one with good views, but it is not fully secure. Guests have flagged that a child could get out of it unwatched, and the same caution applies to a dog who likes to explore. Treat it as a place to sit out with your dog rather than to let them roam. No pet fee, weight limit or breed rule is published for the property, so confirm those details when you book.
It suits a family, or a couple of families, bringing one or two dogs to the Dorset coast who want space, quiet and their own front door.
