Overview
Property code: OC-DC160

Enjoying a picturesque village location, yet only 1.5 miles from the bustling resort of West Bay, is this 140-year-old terraced cottage. Sleeping five, this cottage is ideal for groups looking for a peaceful rural retreat with ample amenities – including a supermarket, a pub and the beach – within easy walking distance.

Step inside to discover character charm mixed with modern features across the three storeys of this lovely cottage. The open-plan sitting room/dining room/kitchen has space for the whole group to spread out and relax, with a wood burner and oak flooring adding cosy touches. The utility room and shower room are both handy for freshening up after trips to the coast. On the first floor, you’ll find two double bedrooms, one with a TV and a charming Victorian fireplace, plus a family bathroom. Then climb the spiral staircase to discover a single bedroom with views of the distant hills and the pretty garden - just mind your head in the eaves. At the rear of the cottage is a flagstone courtyard, with steps up to a beautiful cottage garden with a sunny terrace perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks. The terrace has a lovely view of the lush garden with its flower filled borders. Fire up the BBQ and enjoy being in this wonderful location. Parking is available on the village lane.

Walk or drive the 1.5 miles to West Bay and visit its working harbour and wide range of cafes and restaurants – not to mention the sandy beach. Take the South West Coast Path from West Bay to Hive Beach (3 miles’ walk) and refuel at the popular cafe or head to Bridport (1.5 miles) – a bustling market town with a wide range of independent shops and places to eat and drink.

This is a beautiful little cottage in a gorgeous quiet little village. The property was immaculate when we arrived. It has been carefully modernised and great use made of the space available.

Such a lovely cottage and garden in a perfect location. Everything we needed was supplied and the welcome pack was most appreciated. There are easy walks from the cottage to a large supermarket and other amenities in the town. A longer distance walk to the beach at West Bay over fields and via the nature reserve was a lovely walk with the dog.

We had a lovely time at Sunnyside cottage. The location was simply ideal situated in a quiet little Dorset hamlet but was only a short drive or walk to Bridport or west bay.

Fantastically equipped cottage in a delightful setting, convenient for West Bay and Bridport only a mile or so in both directions. Morrisons supermarket is about 10/25 walk across the A35. Anyone who likes gardening would love it although the back garden is quite steep but well worth the clamber.

The cottage was extremely comfortable, cosy and so well equipped. Tim had left the heating on for us to arrive to, and provided some treats of wine, chocolates and biscuits which were much appreciated. The garden is a gem, but it wasn't the time of year for having our aperitifs outdoors. Lovely to be able to walk into Bridport, along easy footpathsRead more - once you've got over the main road!

You leave the busy A35 and, passing through Hollow Lane, its like emerging into a different world and time. The cottage itself is well-appointed and comfortable but the bonus surprise package is the garden - at the top of the steep steps and the grassy path a picturesque and colourful place unfolds, to sit and relax with coffee and a book. Lots to Read moredo round and about and Tim, the owner is very friendly and hospitable. Would recommend it. Hide
