  • Beautifully renovated 17th-century thatched cottage with many original features
  • Enclosed landscaped garden to enjoy al fresco dining in a tranquil village setting
  • Stroll to the beach in Seatown, less than 0.75 miles away
Property code: OC-DC114

Full of charm and character, this delightful thatched cottage can be found on a quiet, no-through lane in the tranquil Dorset village of Chideock. Further along the lane, you come to a bridleway that leads to the beach, cliffs and pub at Seatown (1 mile), so you can enjoy early morning strolls to see the sunrise or evening rambles to see the sunset. Located within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and with the World Heritage Jurassic Coast on your doorstep, there is plenty for families to explore together.

Entering through the traditional front door, you are welcomed into this comfortable property by the lovely lounge/diner where you can settle down after a busy day out exploring. To the rear, the bright kitchen is well-equipped and offers access to the enclosed garden. Up the narrow winding staircase, with handrail, you will discover three bedrooms: one good-sized king-size, one small double (accessed on one side) and a cosy single room. There is also a family bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC.

The village of Chideock offers easy access to the rest of West Dorset, from Lyme Regis to Weymouth, and access to the World Heritage Jurassic Coast is available at a number of places. Charmouth is 5 miles west and has a popular fossil-hunting beach with hammers and goggles available to hire. Further west again is Lyme Regis, a charming seaside town with a range of independent shops and eateries, as well as a family-friendly beach. Heading a short drive east is the bustling seaside resort of West Bay with its harbour and expansive beach. Further along the coast is the unique Chesil Beach, which is 18 miles away from the cottage, and is only a few miles from the many attractions on offer in the seaside resort of Weymouth.

We had a wonderful week staying at Meadow Cottage over October half term. Warm and comfortable and with everything we needed it was a really relaxing stay. The owner was very helpful in offering recommendations for places to stay. The location was perfect, close to amenities and Seatown, Bridport and Lyme Regis. There was a lovely park and playing Read morefield right next to the cottage and local walks. It was warm enough to enjoy the garden with a coffee in the mornings. In all, a really lovely stay. Hide

Lovely cosy and warm cottage in a good location. Nice garden but not totally dog secure for our Retriever. Parking bit difficult. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk - Thank you for your feedback. We can confirm this garden is fully enclosed as shown in the photographs.

This is a lovely character cottage, tastefully decorated and with a well kept, practical garden for a young family and a playing field and playground right next door. It is a 15 minute walk to Seatown, with a glorious shingle beach, a pizza place and a great dining pub. The nearby Spar stocks all the essentials. The kitchen is well equipped. The owRead morener was very helpful and quick to respond to any queries or issues. We had a lovely, relaxing stay and highly recommend. Note parking is very tight Hide

Meadow Cottage felt like home very quickly, and we looked forward to getting back there after some wonderful coastal hikes. The house and garden are beautiful, and the little park next door was useful for the early morning dog routine. There are three friendly pubs a walk away for dinner, so we took a welcome break from cooking. Loved it.

Outstanding cosy little cottage with a lovely garden. Location was ideal for us with the playing field adjacent for the kids and we were able to walk to Seatown for pizza on the beach in the evening.

Lovely little cottage with a lot of character. We really enjoyed the stay as a family of 5 with a toddler. The kitchen has all the necessities to cook a family dinner. We needed to duck at some of the doors even at 1.8m height. The garden is well secured and was a real treat for our dog. The leisure field next door is the in official dog park whichRead more is great. The beach and town are only a short foot walk away. Curbside parking right in front is a bit tight. Hide

We had a great stay at Meadow cottage. Cosy house, comfortable sofas. We enjoyed the garden, we were lucky that the weather was beautiful. Walking distance from the sea. stunning scenery. Close to places like Charmouth, Lyme Regis and the nice village of Bridport. Great place to start exploring the Jurassic Coast.
