This cosy country cottage, located in the heart of Dorset, is an ideal choice for a family holiday to the coast to include your four-legged friends.
Situated in the pretty village of Puncknowle, this traditional cottage sleeps five and is quintessential and charming for your Dorset escape. You’ll be within 4 miles of a coarse sand beach, yet a short drive will bring you to destinations such as West Bay, 5.5 miles away, and Abbotsbury, 4.5 miles away, with its swannery and subtropical gardens. Return windswept and ravenous for an al fresco meal in your private courtyard garden, then snuggle up with hot cocoa by the roaring fire.
Step through the stone exterior to find a thoughtfully furnished retreat that’s beautifully styled to blend contemporary convenience and old-world charm. There’s a comfortable lounge complete with a roaring open fire, a dining room with seating for everyone and a marvellous kitchen that features a Rangemaster oven. Steep cottage-style stairs lead up to three bedrooms and a Jack-and-Jill shower room that connects to a single bedroom. The remaining bedrooms both have double beds, and one has an en-suite bathroom. Limited parking is available for one car.
Golf, fishing and water sports are all possible within the local area, and the nearest beach provides easy access to the South West Coast Path for rambles along the cliff tops. Building sandcastles, splashing in the sea and exploring rock pools is a must for those in search of a traditional seaside holiday, with so many beaches to choose from including Hive Beach, 3.5 miles away, and Weymouth, 14 miles away. Lyme Regis, 16 miles away, has a treasure trove of bistros, cafes and restaurants as well as a long promenade lined with eateries and attractions, or why not treat the youngest members of your party to a trip to Dorchester, 11.5 miles away, to visit the dinosaur museum?
