  • A beautiful Grade II listed thatched cottage in a tranquil village location and walking distance to the beach
  • An ideal base for walkers and cyclists to explore the Jurassic Coast and the surrounding countryside
  • Local amenities of a village shop and two pubs a short walk from the cottage
Property code: OC-DC166

This beautifully-refurbished, Grade II-listed cottage is located in the peaceful village of Burton Bradstock and enjoys a quiet location at the end of a row of traditional stone-walled cottages. Set in a side street near the parish church, this quirky cottage retains many original features, including flagstone floors on the ground level. With the shop and pubs just 100 metres away, and the beach just half a mile, this home is perfect for couples or families looking for a relaxing, seaside holiday.

A cosy and welcoming sitting room awaits as you enter the cottage, with a Smart TV and wood burner-style electric fire. Chairs and a sofa offer the perfect spots to relax and put your feet up after a busy day of exploring. Settle down for something to eat in the cosy dining room, with a window seat and antique court cupboard. The well-equipped galley kitchen leads through a low doorway into a handy utility area. The shower room is also on the ground floor. Head upstairs and you’ll find a king-size bedroom with an en-suite WC, along with a single bedroom. Don’t forget to mind your head in the eaves! To the side of the cottage, a step leads up to a delightful stone walled garden with a lawn. There’s also parking for one car on the gravel drive.

Keen walkers will love exploring the countless trails to be found along the Jurassic coastline, as well as in the surrounding countryside. While staying here, though, be sure to visit some of the county’s popular towns. Bridport (3 miles) is a lively little place, famous for its many markets. A visit to West Bay and its harbour, which famously featured in the ITV series Broadchurch, is also a must.

  • 1 shower room on the ground floor with walk in shower and WC; 1 en-suite WC
  • Fridge with ice compartment, range electric oven and hob, microwave

Another lovely stay in the beautiful cottage. Thank you for the welcome pack. It was very much appreciated, especially after a long journey. It was lovely to visit Hive Beach again as well as new places, eg, Bridport, which has a good variety of shops and Bennetts Water Gardens, a lovely place to spend a few hours, includes a lovely cafe, both onRead morely a short drive away. We would recommend the Fish and Chip van that visits the village on a Thursday evening but be prepared to wait as it is very popular but worth it. We visited in May, so it was not as busy as our previous stay in August but just as enjoyable. We are looking forward to our next visit. Hide

Lovely cottage situated centrally in Burton Bradstock. Lots of facilities, comfortable sofa and bed. Lovely garden with nice furniture. Although off road parking was tight it was fine. Easy connections to Lyme Regis and Weymouth via X53 bus which runs every 2 hours.

We had a lovely 3 days here; a delightful cottage with every amenity that we could want. It was clean and comfortable. The cottage has everything you could need in the kitchen and elsewhere.
