Overview
Property code: 82253

This family and pet-friendly property has an enclosed garden, two wood burners, lovely views of the countryside and is set under 0.25 miles of the delightful town of Beaminster and its amenities.

This delightful cottage is set in a tranquil spot on the outskirts of Beaminster. The property is bursting with country-cottage charm and looks out over open countryside. Relax in the peaceful sunroom with a book or sip a glass of wine in the pretty enclosed garden. The cottage is the ideal base for keen walkers, with a multitude of fantastic routes nearby, including past the iconic Cerne Abbas Giant (14.5 miles). The Jurassic Coast is within easy reach, where you’ll find delights such as Bridport (6.5 miles), West Bay (8 miles) and Lyme Regis (17 miles).

Two steps lead to the detached property and into the boot room, ideal for storing all your walking gear. The fabulous dining room, with a roaring wood burner, features a large table to seat eight guests. Dine together before retreating to the cosy lounge to warm your toes in front of another wood burner and watch the TV/DVD. Under the stairs, little ones will be thrilled to find a cute play area. The stairs lead to a half landing and the family bathroom, before continuing to the four bedrooms. To the rear of the property, there’s a beautiful enclosed garden with a split-level lawn and patio area with furniture. To the front, there’s a further lawn with a bench for you to sit and take in your peaceful surroundings.

Head south to explore the spectacular Jurassic Coast. The thriving market town of Bridport really is a must, with its quirky shops, vibrant arts scene, and fabulous eateries. From here, visit the gorgeous beach at West Bay, which is backed by dramatic cliffs and is well known for being the filming location for the TV drama Broadchurch. Stunning clifftop paths branch away from the beach, providing the most spectacular views over the bay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Clare Cottage. The beds were an absolute dream, so comfy! The accommodation was great for myself and grown up kids and family.

We had a lovely week in the cottage. We were very lucky with the weather as we stayed during the heat wave. A great location to explore beaches along the Dorset coast. Our favourite is still Lyme Regis. The house was a great base and we had plenty of space. There is only one parking space in the drive but we were able to park in the road. There areRead more only double beds (as stated) in the rooms so might be something to consider if older children are part of your party and refuse to share! Hide

Well laid out property. Enclosed garden so safe for dog owners. The road outside can be busy at times and no pavement. I think it is the back road to Dorchester and some car drivers went too fast for a residential street. Taking the dog out at night make sure you have a torch and be alert. Most of the day it was fine.

Thoroughly enjoyed our February half term stay at Claire Cottage. It comfortably accommodated our family of 6+ 2 dogs. The large log burner was lovely to relax in front of in the evenings. Beaminster and surrounding area is lovely to explore and has numerous pubs, restaurants and cafes serving really good home cooked food.

Very clean, spacious house suitable for large families. Great views over the countryside and ideally located for short trips to other towns along the coast. Lovely enclosed front and rear gardens. Local shops and pubs only a short walk away. Highly recommend from a family of 6 and a cockapoo dog.
