Overview
Property code: DC213

Superb holiday cottage near Weymouth and the Dorset coast, this desirable property is a great prospect for a family looking for a modern home-from-home. Lovely quiet village location, in Osmington, close to country walks and handy amenities.

This attractive, light and welcoming semi-detached cottage has been traditionally built from Purbeck stone and is located near the heart of the historic village of Osmington. With plenty of space for six guests, this charming property makes a fantastic base for a family keen to explore the Jurassic Coast. Osmington is known for the famous George III White Horse which is carved into the chalk hills of the South Dorset Downs, and the village is perfectly situated for visiting the coastal town of Weymouth (4.5 miles) and the thriving market town of Dorchester (8 miles).

Three steps lead up to the porch and through to the tastefully furnished double-aspect lounge which makes a comfortable and welcoming space to relax in at the end of the day. Exploring further, you will find a spacious and stylish kitchen perfect for preparing your favourite meals, and a bright and airy dining room where you can sit back and plan the day.

Heading upstairs, there are three cosy bedrooms: two twin rooms and a double room with an en-suite shower. Stepping outside, you can sit back and relax in the pretty gravelled garden which has outdoor furniture, a summerhouse, trees and shrubs. Parking is available for two cars. Heading to the coast you can explore Ringstead Bay (3 miles) Lulworth Cove (10.5 miles) and the natural arch of Durdle Door (10 miles). The popular seaside town of Weymouth is famous for its beautiful crescent bay, sandy beaches and attractions, including Sandworld and the Jurassic Skyline. You can also discover the beautiful Isle of Portland (11 miles). Inland, take a visit to Monkey World (10.5 miles) and The Tank Museum (11 miles). The area is associated with Thomas Hardy, his birthplace is in Higher Bockhampton (9 miles) and his home in Dorchester (7 miles).

Excellent property, comfortable, clean, recently redecorated, well-equipped. The lounge furniture must have been replaced! Beds were comfy and duvets were warm. The TV was fine, good wi-fi. Very good selection of books, DVD's, CD's and games. Good location, close to Weymouth, but handy for exploring the rest of Dorset, particularly Swanage, LulwortRead moreh, Dorchester, Lyme Regis etc. Hide

Very comfortable and warm cottage for autumn and winter visits.Everything in good order. Small enclosed gravel garden very much appreciated by our dog. Talktalk fibre wifi gave 75Mb download speed. Ideally situated at the top of Church Lane, very close to the local farm shop and cafe which we walked to every day on our many walks. The Smugglers InnRead more is a one mile walk over the hill to Osmingtom Mills and the Springhead pub in Sutton Poyntz is a slightly further but easier walk. . Hide

We had a very enjoyable week at Thyme Cottage and would be very happy to recommend this property to friends and family. The house is spacious and well equipped, and includes a dishwasher which is not mentioned in the property description. The lounge seating has seen better days. The garden is a lovely sunny place to relax after days out visiting thRead moree Dorset coast. Craig's farm shop is nearby and we can recommend their delicious hand made ice cream. Hide

A second stay at Thyme Cottage and we enjoyed it just as much second time around. Perfect location, very well equipped and extremely comfortable. We were very fortunate with the weather which meant we could enjoy the outside garden space as well. Easy access to some lovely areas of the Jurassic Coast, both quiet and bustling.

The cottage met all our expectations, was well appointed and very well equipped, with a small, secluded garden for a small family (6) gathering for relaxation & a summer house. Although the village inn is no longer open, a short drive away is the Smugglers Inn at Osmington Mills, which has a good, varied menu. There is also a farm shop within walkiRead moreng distance. The cottage is central to visits to many of the attractions in the surrounding Dorset countryside and along the Dorset coast. Hide

Spacious, comfortable and very well equipped cottage in good location. Many local walks direct from the cottage including coastal path and only a short drive to Weymouth. Parking for two cars and additional parking available on the road outside cottage. Dog friendly with small enclosed gravel garden.

This was our first outing since March 2020. A lovely cottage, very well equipped and very central. We were surprised the heating came on in the dinning room, but very pleased it did as it was still a bit chilly. The garden is lovely, and the summer house was welcome shade in the afternoon. Such a pretty area, with lots to see and visit. I think ourRead more favourite place was the Sculpture Park, Worth a visit Beautiful. And the Barbican area of Weymouth. Hide
