Immerse yourselves in the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with a stay at this delightful cottage at Litton Cheney. Sleeping up to eight guests, it nestles in exquisite cottage gardens and takes in panoramic views across the surrounding countryside. Enjoy the picturesque setting or head off to the Jurassic Coast approximately 4 miles away, for days on the beach and long walks with a four-legged friend, who is also welcome to accompany you.
A steep hillside path leads you from the parking area to the main entrance. Step into the stone, terraced home to find yourself in the inviting hall, which leads to a study and the comfortable lounge. Set the wood burner roaring in here then watch your Smart TV, play games or simply soak up the views. Head on through the cottage to find the bright kitchen/diner, with its generous space for food preparation and a large table for lively meals. You'll also find a handy utility room and bathroom on the ground floor. Head up the winding stairs to all four of your bedrooms and the family shower room on the first floor. On sunny days, dine, BBQ or take a good book out into your English country garden. Keep an eye on the children where there are steps and the ground is slightly uneven, and enjoy the seclusion of the setting.
Pull on your hiking boots and walk just over 3 miles to the historic site of English Heritage's Winterbourne Poor Lot Barrows, a collection of 44 Bronze Age burial mounds. You might also like to visit the Nine Stones, 5 miles away. Set in woodland, these form a prehistoric circle around 4,000 years old. On warm days, pack a picnic and your swimming costumes and head to the beach at West Bexington, 4 miles away. To browse in shops or enjoy a meal out, venture into Weymouth 12 miles away, or Dorchester 10.5 miles away.
