A charming semi-detached cottage in the quaint village of Eype provides a homely base with original features for exploring the area, either on your own or with your dog.

Surrounded by stunning countryside yet just half a mile from the shingle beach at Eype is this charming semi-detached cottage. One of West Dorset’s most beautiful villages, Eype boasts pretty thatched cottages, a popular pub, a tea room and a wonderful sand and gravel beach and distant view of Golden Cap. After a long day spent walking the South West Coast Path or on the water, return to this cosy bolthole for a relaxing evening beside the wood burner or with a summer BBQ in the garden.

Inside, a charming lounge/diner has been tastefully updated with modern decor that blends perfectly with the large inglenook feature fireplace. The kitchen beyond is traditional and well-equipped with everything you should need for rustling up delicious meals. The bedrooms upstairs are full of character with original wooden floorboards and pretty cottage windows. Outside, a large sloped lawned garden with a BBQ offers spectacular views over rolling countryside, perfect for those long hazy summer days. There is designated off-road parking for one car, 10 metres away.

Set out on foot from the property to explore the beautiful unspoilt Dorset countryside, stopping for a bite to eat at a cafe or pub. Eype beach is just half a mile from the front door, perfect for sunbathing in the summer or joining the South West Coast Path that leads to West Bay (1.5 miles) in the east and Seatown (2.5 miles) in the west. Find a wide range of shopping and dining choices in the market town of Bridport (3 miles) or travel 23 miles east to the exciting coastal resort of Weymouth, which offers an exciting lineup of activities, events and attractions.

This is a lovely, cosy cottage, to which we have returned over many years. Its location is excellent with fantastic walks from the door to the sea and along the cliffs. It has a lovely upward-sloping garden with views of surrounding hills from the top. Very peaceful and relaxing, yet Bridport is only a couple of miles away, full of interesting shopRead mores. Hide

A lovely cosy cottage in picturesque surroundings with stunning views. Well maintained large garden with summerhouse to relax in. Two bedrooms, both comfortable and of sufficient size. Bathroom good size for the cottage. Inglenook fireplace is a fantastic feature of the cottage. The kitchen is well equipped. All in all, a great holiday retreat.

A pretty, very traditional cottage in a delightful location. Sufficient room for us as two adults, but would be very cosy with four! Good access to walks along the coast path, for a quiet relaxing holiday.

Lovely cottage in a great location. It is however very compact and probably better suited to families with younger children, not grown-up ones! The cottage is some distance from the parking space with regard to unloading/loading on arrival/departure, and the parking space is a tight squeeze.
