This characterful chocolate-box cottage is the perfect property for those wishing to experience a charming countryside break, but with village amenities close by. Sleeping up to six, plus one dog, you can wander just under a a mile to the coast at Seatown with its award-winning pub, or walk back for a drink at one of the village pubs, 150 metres from the cottage. A pedestrian friendly lane opposite the cottage leads down to the sea via the children’s playground, and direct access to the footpath network on the cliffs.

Step up to the front door and into this quaint cottage. Inside is an abundance of character features that you would expect from a thatched cottage, including exposed brickwork, ceiling beams and wooden floorboards. The sitting/dining room is split into two levels and is the perfect place to come together after a day of exploring. A beamed fireplace houses the wood burner and is an ideal spot to read or to play games. A step up from the sitting room leads to the fully equipped, compact kitchen which is complete with a range cooker for rustling up delicious meals. From the kitchen a step up leads to the tranquil sunroom which is an ideal place to sit with your morning coffee, with access via a stable door into the garden. A step up in the hallway leads to the shower room which is handy for freshening up after a day by the coast. Upstairs there are three bedrooms: two doubles with exposed beams and excellent views of the local area, and a bunk room. You can soak in the roll-top bath in the upstairs bathroom and relax after a day’s adventures. Outside, the tiered rear garden incorporates a BBQ and terrace where you can dine alfresco and enjoy the sea air. Steps lead up to a garden bench further up the garden where you can take in the stunning views of the surrounding hills. Private parking is available for two cars on the street opposite the cottage.

When you want to explore the local area, you can visit the working fishing harbour at West Bay (4.5 miles) or the quirky town of Bridport (3 miles). You can relax on the beach at West Bay or visit one of the resort’s charming cafes, while Bridport is home to a twice weekly market. Pick up some fresh local produce for your dinner or find a unique piece to remind you of this wonderful area.

Our stay was very enjoyable, quiet, comfortable and Jake Labrador appreciated the private enclosed garden. Although the A35 was a stones throw from the property we could not hear any traffic even from the garden. Would highly recommend. Beach, pubs and local shops where within easy walking distance.

Fantastically equipped cottage - perfect for a family long weekend. Everything you could need was provided and the comfort levels were great and yet it was cosy and relaxed. Very warm cottage with plenty of hot water, lots of fridge & freezer space and a great gas range to cook on. Sunroom was a fantastic extra space and the garden was so prettyRead more.

If you want to stay in a proper period cottage and soak up history this is the venue for you. In addition it is extremely comfortable, with plenty of space for a family (there were 5 of us) and with a good local pub only 100 yards away.

An absolutely lovely, if slightly quirky, property. Everything was in great order when we arrived. Tge cottage rooms are quite small (but it is a cottage so perhaps they should be) but very comfortable. The conservatory at the rear was brilliant as a breakfast room. And the location is to die for.
