This quaint stone-walled period cottage with original features, is set in stunning Bothenhampton and combines old-fashioned charm with contemporary style.

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.

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.

Very comfortable cottage with everything needed. Lovely gift on arrival. I think the number of stairs and steps needs to be highlighted at the beginning of the description. We were not really fit enough for this lovely property. We must have missed every detail but still enjoyed the cottage and the location and area. Tim is a lovely host.

Excellent week spent in a gorgeous cottage. The welcome gifts were well received. The kitchen is very well equipped and the whole place was absolutely spotless. A beautiful garden too, which unfortunately due to it being late October, we couldn't fully benefit from.The extra touches of washing tablets, washing up liquid, handsoap, kitchen rolls etcRead more were very welcome. I haven't always found these supplied in cottages so it was really appreciated. A short walk to the local pub with good local ale. Hide
