Situated on Weymouth's stunning Seafront and the beautiful Jurassic coast, the Jubilee Hotel West was built in 1855 and is a Grade II listed building full of character and with architectural significance. What this means is we have done our best to make the hotel modern, comfortable and welcoming whilst honouring the buildings beauty. This means that as this building was not purpose built as a hotel every single room is unique (and not all have wheelchair access). We have grouped our rooms into Bronze, Silver and Gold Tiered Rooms all designed to match our customers expectations and requirements and then these are split into additional room types based on the occupancy and beds in the room and the view out the window with some offering Seaview’s over Weymouth Bay. All our rooms are ensuite with showers, with a very limited number of rooms with additional baths. The Jubilee Hotel offers a family-friendly atmosphere, a 24-hour front desk, free Wi-Fi, the opportunity to add on Escape Dungeons, spa treatments and hot tub garden experiences, a smokehouse and grill bar with pool table and beer garden, and clean comfortable rooms.

Why Dorset is great for you and your dog

Dorset is all about outdoor space and fresh air, making it ideal if your dog loves to explore. The coastline features miles of sandy beaches and rugged cliffs, while the countryside offers gentle trails through heathland, woods and charming villages.

Many beaches welcome dogs year-round or outside the busiest summer months, so you can enjoy sand runs or waterside strolls without hassle. Popular walking routes, such as the South West Coast Path or the Jurassic Coast trails, give you a mix of scenic vistas and safe paths for your dog.

Seaside towns like Lyme Regis, Weymouth and Swanage are known for their relaxed, dog-friendly atmosphere. Cafés, pubs and shops often welcome dogs, so you can stop for a coffee or a bite to eat during your adventures. Dorset is a county that encourages long walks, beach romps and exploration at your own pace, making it perfect for dog-friendly holidays.

A few popular dog-friendly hotels in Dorset

Here are a few options to help you plan your stay:

The Redcliff, Weymouth A stylish seaside hotel with dog-friendly rooms and quick access to Weymouth Beach, perfect for walks along the bay.

Mariners Hotel, Lyme Regis Set close to the Jurassic Coast, this characterful hotel welcomes dogs and is a great base for cliff-top trails and harbour strolls.

The Pines Hotel Overlooking the coast, this hotel offers pet-friendly rooms and easy access to the South West Coast Path and Swanage town centre.

The Kings Arms, Dorchester A cosy country inn that’s happy to host dogs and provides easy access to countryside walks and village trails.

Policies can vary, so it’s a good idea to check details before booking, especially if you’re travelling with more than one dog.
