Enjoy a stay at the heart of the vibrant Dorset market town of Beaminster. Sleeping six guests, this three-bedroom apartment, which is 6.5 miles from Bridport, sits within a handsome, period building in a great location for independent shops and eateries. Enjoy it as a base from which to discover Dorset’s beautiful countryside and coast, then return to relax in elegance.
Step into the stone, Grade II-listed building that dates back to Tudor times. Hang your jackets and leave your shoes before climbing the stairs to the first floor. Enter the lounge, which is filled with light thanks to its Georgian windows overlooking the town square. Soak up the calming ambience of this space as you peruse a book from the shelves or watch the Smart TV. The kitchen/diner, with its splendid, decorative inglenook fireplace, has country cream cabinets offering ample storage. There is also plenty of space for preparing the produce you have sourced in town and a circular table for gathering round at mealtimes. One of your sumptuous bedrooms, a king-size, and the generous family bathroom, which features an internal step and has a bath, shower and utility area, are also at this level. Climb a narrow, cottage-style staircase to discover a second king-size and a twin, with some restricted head-height, up in the eaves. There is no private outside space with this apartment, but open, green fields are close by. Parking is on the road or in car parks, subject to availability.
Head out of town to visit exquisite Mapperton House and Gardens, 2.5 miles away. Venture 8 miles to the golden sands of West Bay, which is famous for its dramatic sandstone cliffs, to swim. Pick up the South West Coast Path here and head out in either direction for spectacular Jurassic Coast views.
