Immerse yourselves in the glorious surroundings of Dorset’s Jurassic Coast when you book this delightful retreat at Chideock. Nestled next to the owner’s home, but enjoying its privacy, the detached, one-bedroom former whaler’s cottage sleeps three guests and has a pretty garden that captures countryside views. Situated 3 miles from Bridport and 7 miles from Lyme Regis, it is just over 0.5 miles from the picture-postcard beach at Seatown.
Take a step up and wander inside via the French windows to discover inviting, single-storey accommodation. Leave your outerwear in the hall, with its glass ceiling, and take another step up to find yourselves in the bright kitchen/diner, with a pitched roof, wooden floor and abundant windows. Prepare meals for your friends or family here, then call them to join you at the table. Make a cup of tea and take a slice of Dorset apple cake through to the lounge with you. Located off the hallway, down another step, this enticing space has a flagstone floor and wood burner. Set this roaring during the colder months, then enjoy your snack in the cosy warmth as you watch the Smart TV. Your double bedroom, which has an en-suite shower room, is adjacent to the lounge. The family bathroom, with a roll-top bath, and a single bedroom are off the hall. Soak up the Dorset sunshine in the front or back garden. Cook on the BBQ, relax on the patio, which is up a few steps, and open a bottle of wine in the summer house to the front. There is off-road parking for one car.
Stroll 1 mile along the South West Coast Path from Seatown to the National Trust’s Golden Cap with its sweeping coastscapes. Head into Lyme Regis to spend time at the Marine Aquarium and Dinosaur Fossil Museum.
