With a reputation for food, arts, events and culture, the bustling hub of Bridport is less than 1.5 miles from your door. Visit the market town to pick up produce, enjoy a night off from the kitchen, or for a family day out, whilst making the most of your secluded, peaceful location back at home. Sleeping seven guests over four bedrooms, this pretty abode welcomes two of your dogs too so you can enjoy beach days together and games of fetch in the large garden
Follow the sloping path across the lawn before making your way inside. After days in the great outdoors, you’re bound to return from a sandy or muddy adventure at least once. The handy utility room is perfectly positioned for leaving coats, boots and leads so you can get cosy quickly, and pick up where you left off tomorrow. Warm up by the roaring wood burner which is housed by a charming inglenook fireplace and sits grandly in the welcoming lounge. Great for games tournaments, film nights and unwinding with a book, this comfortable, sociable space invites you to spend quality time together. When it’s time to prepare feasts, find all you need in the open-plan kitchen/diner. Cook up a storm and plate up either inside or out, before dipping in the hot tub with a tipple, or bouncing off some late-night energy on the trampoline. Climb the winding stairs to rest your head in one of four first-floor bedrooms before rising and shining, freshening up in the bathroom and taking a mug of coffee outside to the garden (staged over different levels). There is off-road parking for four cars.
Pack up a picnic and travel 3.5 miles south to the vibrant seaside resort of West Bay, where a pair of beaches make for the perfect family day (dogs are welcomed year-round by the port). If you don’t fancy a picnic, enjoy a sit-down meal or order a portion of tasty fish and chips to whet your appetite. A 19-mile journey will take you to the iconic Cerne Abbas Giant, a 55m chalk figure well worth the trip.
