Escape to this charming cottage, nestled amidst the stunning beauty of Dorset''s coast and countryside. Situated along the main A35 in the picturesque village of Chideock, the property provides the perfect family base for exploring the renowned Dorset Jurassic Coast and comes complete with a cracking wood burner and a private garden in which to soak up the sun.

As you enter, you’re welcomed into the cosy lounge where the wood burner radiates warmth, complemented by an air source heat pump. Sink into the plush sofas and unwind as you catch up on your favourite shows on the Smart TV, watch DVDs, play games, or enjoy a selection of books. The well-equipped kitchen/diner overlooks the pretty garden and is spacious enough for all the family to dine together. On the first floor are the two light and airy bedrooms – a double room overlooking the rear garden, and a family room with twin single beds and a separate day bed. Also on the first floor, the gleaming bathroom has a shower over the bath. Outside, the garden is enclosed and accessible from both the kitchen and the front of the property via a path along the side. Here, you''re greeted by abundant flowers, shrubs, and trees, and there’s a range of organically grown herbs to flavour your cooking. A patio area invites you to savour a morning cup of coffee or enjoy an al fresco meal.

Within a mile, you''ll find the shores of Eype and Seatown, where the South West Coast Path rewards walkers with spectacular views of the dramatic coastline. For lovers of culture and history, Lyme Regis is 6.5 miles along the coast. Stroll along its historic Cobb Harbour, then meander through the charming narrow lanes lined with independent shops, galleries, and cafes. To the east of the village, the coastal road offers breathtaking views of Chesil Beach, leading you 20 miles to the traditional Georgian seaside town of Weymouth. Here, you’ll find award-winning sandy beaches, harbourside restaurants, and a wide variety of family entertainment.

We loved our stay at Hope Cottage largely because the size of the property suited us well and the location to reach the beautiful Jurassic coastline was super. The garden was pretty and suited us with a dog. The lounge was comfortable and bedrooms good sizes for us. However, our mistake, but we didnt realise it was on such a main road and the traRead moreffic both day and night was a lot and did affect our sleep sadly. It was hot and so we did need windows open too though. We did go in peak holiday season though so perhaps during quieter periods traffic and noise may reduce. Hide

Hope Cottage is fantastic. We loved our stay. The rooms are gorgeous and well equipped. The garden is delightful and we loved using it. Chideock is a lovely spot to be in to get to other parts of Dorset. The two local pubs are great and the small bay of Seatown is a short drive away for a lovely pizza and a drink in the sunshine. The road that theRead more cottage is on is a busy one so if you are a light sleeper it may impact you. It didnt stop me or the husband sleeping as we were in the main room on the back of the house, but my daughter did struggle at the start. Be warned the double bed in the main bedroom is super comfy and you may struggle to get out of bed!!!! I wanted to take the bed home with me!! Parking is available in the car park but limited and so there is a bit of anxiety each time you come home because if you cant get parked, there is no where else! However we did always get parked. We loved being here and we would definitely come back!!! Hide

Lovely cottage tastefully decorated. Beautiful garden and ten minute walk from Seatown beach,, childrens playground near by too . George pub has great food and the Spa shop over the road. Would recommend - owner really responsive - we took a taxi from Axminster for 30 and we didnt need a car. It is on a main road so you feel the rumbling of trafficRead more but the location and cottage made it worth it - plenty of cutlery and plates too - would recommend Hide
