Sleeping six guests across three bedrooms, this family-friendly end of terrace cottage is set between Weymouth (15 miles west) and Swanage (16 miles east) in South Dorset.

Follow a flight of steps up to the entrance of this handsome holiday property, decorated in contemporary coastal-style with sandy tones, sunny shades of yellow and harmonious wood furniture. From the open-plan living and dining room, take two steps up to the sleek kitchen (note: low ceiling) and cook up a storm with everything you need to hand. With two family bathrooms, everyone can relax in this homely retreat. Sink into squishy sofas in the living area and watch favourite films, and settle in to dreamy bedrooms, a cosy twin, a double bedroom with views from a balcony, and a bunk bedroom - ideal for children. On sunny afternoons, dine alfresco in the fully-enclosed tiered lawned garden.

Great house every thing we needed was there. Location was lovely 10 mins from the lulworth cove we didn't realise we were about 5 mins from the army tank training barracks so every now and then you would here gun fire witch I realy loved you couldn't hear it in the house tho. Parking was OK but some people would struggle to park a car in the garageRead more because it's so small. Hide

Cant say we were blown away with the property but it wasnt bad either. Fitted the bill for our requirements. Main bed was a bit too firm for my liking. Stair gate to stop dogs going upstairs was a good addition.

Clean, comfortable well equipped house ideal for a young family with good access to the Jurassic Coast and all its attractions. Well maintained and decorated and everything you'd need for a home from home. The only downside was its close proximity to the main road and during busy periods traffic noise could be quite intrusive but wouldn't stop us rRead moreeturning Hide
