Property code: OC-DC111

This delightful converted stable sits in a peaceful location surrounded by trees and stone walls. Meticulously finished with close attention to detail, the reverse-level layout includes an open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner with vaulted ceiling above and two charming bedrooms opening onto the courtyard below. The pretty village of Chideock is home to a choice of pubs, post office and a farm shop for stocking up on supplies.

Upstairs, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is a fantastic space for entertaining, with a high vaulted beam-lined ceiling, pine floorboards and plenty of natural light. Prepare delicious meals in the traditional kitchen area, dine at the farmhouse table and unwind to the sound of your favourite music in the cosy sofa area with iPod dock. Downstairs, the en-suite double bedroom opens through French doors to a large terrace, perfect for enjoying that first cup of coffee in bed with the sunlight streaming through. There is off-road parking for one car.

This property is ideally located for making the most of the local amenities of Chideock, from its farm shop to its tea room. From here, follow the narrow lane down to the beach at Seatown (1 mile), popular among fossil collectors, fishermen and families alike and home to a pub. The market town of Bridport (3 miles) with its string of independent boutiques and cafes is well worth a visit, while the Broadchurch-famous West Bay (4 miles) is a wonderful seaside resort with plenty of activities on offer.

Lovely comfortable cottage for the two of us. Its location is excellent with walks direct from the property and a short drive to West Bay and Lyme Regis. Highly recommend the Anchor Inn in Seatown for food.

Lovely cottage in a great location. The owners were really friendly and welcoming and even bought an Easter egg for my son. Beds were comfy, showers worked great and the living area was a good size with really comfortable sofas for lounging on. Well equipped with great decor. We walked to Seatown several times which was fantastic for fossil huntingRead more and the woodfired pizzas at the hut were delicious. Easy drive to Lyme Regis, Charmouth, Bridport and other great places. Would definitely come back. Hide

We would definitely return to this lovely cottage. The location was perfect for beaches, stunning coastal walks and the Anchor pub with outstanding food and service. The accommodation provided ample space for the four of us to spread out and relax. Sunlight streams into the open plan kitchen /dining and seating areas , and there is a little shelterRead moreed seated area in the courtyard to catch the morning sunshine. Hide

Comfortable cottage in a perfect location for exploring coast and countryside. Although quite close to a busy road we were surprised how quiet and peaceful the cottage was. We enjoyed some fabulous meals out in the surrounding area . There are so many beautiful places to visit within a few miles of Chideock. We definitely plan to return.

A lovely comfortable, clean cottage, and very well equipped. The owners were so helpful, but not at all intrusive. Location good, with just a 15minute walk down a very quiet lane to the sea. Ate at the Anchor and the George, and both spot on.
