Overview
Property code: OC-B28327

Set in the historic town of Beaminster in rural West Dorset, this quaint and cosy cottage provides an idyllic base for a romantic retreat. Spend your days pottering around stately manor houses, beautiful gardens and the characterful town centre, or head out to hike Dorset’s four highest peaks which surround the town. Then return here for chilled afternoons in the sunny garden and cosy evenings around the wood burner.

Step inside this pretty cottage to find a light and fresh interior bursting with rustic charm. Set on a flagstone floor with a wood burner in an inglenook fireplace, the lounge invites cosy evenings of laughter and chatter or simply curling up with a good book. The kitchen is fresh and light with oak flooring and worktops, a dining table and French doors leading out into the garden. A couple of small steps lead up to the patio, and to a walled and lawned garden, perfect for warm evenings under the stars. When it’s time for bed, head up the cottage-style stairs and get cosy under the covers of your super-king-size bed. A shower room completes the interior.

Stroll around Beaminster’s historic centre, browsing independent shops and eateries, or venture out of town to explore Mapperton House and Gardens (4.5 miles) and sample local wines at Furleigh Estate (4 miles). Get out and hike Dorset’s highest peaks for magnificent views, or head to Bridport and West Bay to explore the vibrant market town, sandy beach and Jurassic cliffs.

A very good location for this quirky cottage, right in the centre of the small town and easy to get to all the local attractions. Parking is on the street and while occasionally we couldn't park right outside, generally we had no problems with this. The cottage was well-equipped, the kitchen had everything needed for a week's stay and the showeRead morer was very good. A large and comfy bed as well. The stairs are very narrow and difficult to negotiate for anyone with mobility issues. However it is in need of some TLC throughout, as while the place was clean, it looks tired and would benefit from some fresh paint and updating on some of the fixtures like blinds. The garden is particularly bad and looked like it had not been touched all summer. It was so overgrown with weeds that it made it unusable during our stay which was disappointing as we booked this based on the photos so our dog could go outside into the enclosed garden. The front outside area was also full of weeds and with all the bins there does not give a good first impression. Hide

We found the cottage to be perfectly located for visiting the local cafes and restaurants, and close enough to many other Dorset locales for sight-seeing. It was clean, well furnished and comfortable. We would happily stay again!

From the street the cottage looks small. Do not be deceived! Once inside and beyond the lobby you are in a very large and well appointed lounge area. Comfy sofas and some rugs on the enormous stone flags. Huge log burner in the fireplace (not used but, looks like it would be great in the colder months). Large TV above sideboard so, if is raining orRead more you just want to chill or watch TV, you're sorted. Dining room and kitchen are big enough and have all of the facilities you need. Storage is a bit "tight" but, just rearrange a bit and you should be ok (we did, we were). Bathroom has a great shower and everything else you need. Main bedroom to the front is large and houses a superking bed. I think there is a second bedroom but, we didn't have access to it. From the outside this looks to be quite large. The garden is a peaceful haven but, was being changed/updated when we were there. Sure the stairs are steep but, its just how it was when the property was built. Parking can be a pain but we managed to park in the street every day. The walk to the car park in the square is 5 minutes so, not the end of the world. Enjoy your stay, we recommend it! Hide
