Sitting in the heart of the Dorset National Landscape and just 8.5 miles from the world-famous Jurassic Coast, this picture-postcard cottage in the peaceful village of Stoke Abbott is the perfect hideaway. Sleeping four people over two beautifully styled bedrooms, it’s the ideal accommodation option for small families or groups of friends in search of a characterful cottage to call home while they discover the scenic Dorset countryside together. Spend blissful days strolling along the breathtaking beach at West Bay or hiking the iconic trails of the South West Coast Path, and in the evening, come home to dine alfresco with your loved ones in the cottage’s pretty garden.
Park in your private parking space and take a moment to appreciate the rolling countryside that surrounds your dreamy cottage. Step inside and kick off your shoes in the boot room and make your way through to the inviting lounge, where original features like exposed stone walls blend seamlessly with a sleek colour palette and modern comforts. Take a moment to soak up the traditional decor before heading to the country-style kitchen/diner to cook up a feast for your loved ones. Enjoy the far-reaching rural views while you cook, before you gather the whole gang together to dine at the wooden dining table. Alternatively, make your way out onto the patio and dine alfresco. After dinner, enjoy a glass of wine under the stars, take a well-deserved post-dinner snooze by the glowing wood burner in the snug, or head back to the lounge to stretch out in front of your favourite TV show. When sleep beckons, climb the cottage stairs to the first floor and you’ll find two wonderful king-size bedrooms, both with beautiful country views. A family shower room on the ground floor and a family bathroom with a shower over the bath on the first floor completes the layout.
Spend a happy morning browsing the shops and cafes in the country town of Beaminster (2 miles) or the attractive market town of Bridport (6 miles). Or set off to Mapperton House (4.5 miles) to stroll through the stunning grounds of this wonderful Jacobean manor while you soak up the far-reaching country views. Alternatively, had to West Bay (8.5 miles) to join the South West Coast Path to hike along what is arguably the most dramatic stretch of the Jurassic coastline.
