Less than 5 miles from the bustling seaside resort of Weymouth, this welcoming abode is a lovely destination for a coastal getaway. Light-filled spaces and a lovely patio area welcome you to spend quality time together before and after adventures. Sleeping five guests over three bedrooms, you’re invited to bring a pair of pups along with you so you can have a ball as a family and adventure the days away together.

 

One of three lovely properties, this cottage is a great home from which to explore. Kick start your day with a feast of a breakfast rustled up in the stylish kitchen/diner and enjoy an al fresco coffee on the patio, reached by stepping down through the patio doors from the lounge. Boasting lush views across the surrounding fields, bask in the fresh air before getting ready to start your day. When you return home, put your feet up on the sofa and indulge in some time in front of the TV, or lose yourself in a good book for some peace and quiet. Cook up a storm and plate up either inside or out, enjoy communal meals and raise a toast to your designated chef. After long days, head to bed in one of three charming bedrooms. The king-size bedroom boasts an en-suite, whilst the two remaining rooms share the family bathroom with shower over the bath for a quick freshen up.

 

Pack a picnic, grab your bucket and spade and head to the beach at Weymouth (4.5 miles) where dog-friendly sections welcome your pups all year round, great for a family day out. Tuck into a tasty portion of fish and chips before heading home or pick up some goodies to enjoy back at the ranch. A 19.5-mile trip along the coast brings you to the must-visit destination of Lulworth Cove, where a 1.5-mile walk above the glittering ocean takes you to Durdle Door. If you’ve had enough sand and sea for one day and you need to entertain little ones, travel 19.5 miles to Monkey World and make some cheeky friends.

The cottage was very well presented and the owners friendly and helpful. The garden is lovely and we saw the barn owl swooping over the field at the back most nights.

We visited Dorset from the North East to visit extended family. It was the first time we had stayed at the properties at Lower Manor Farm and I am so glad we did. The arrival directions and instructions were very clear and we were welcomed by the owner on arrival. The cottage itself was immaculately clean, spacious and private. It was extremely wRead moreell equipped, in fact I cant think of one thing that was lacking. We made a meal one night and found all the utensils and equipment that we needed. There was a lovely patio area and secluded grassed lawn (too windy to enjoy properly unfortunately!) and ample off road parking at the front to our cottage. The location was perfect for visiting Weymouth and Dorchester, which was ideal for us, but it was well placed for travelling further afield. I honestly could not fault this property and will definitely consider it for future visits. Hide

We had a lovely stay. Very clean. Fresh milk in the fridge, biscuits and plenty of tea and coffee sachets on the side. Nice location with attractions easily accessed. Very secure garden (unless you have a large jumper!). It is off a very busy road with only a narrow grass verge so you can't walk a dog safely, although obviously you can't change thaRead moret.

This accommodation was very comfortable and very good value for money. However, being a dog friendly property, I would suggest that it is made known that the property is entered via a 50mph road with no kerbs. The narrow grass verges are not suitable or safe to walk along so if you have dogs so you need to drive somewhere to walk them. I would suggRead moreest adding the hire cost of towels into the price.

Lovely single storey holiday home, just a couple of steps into the front door. The most well equipped place we've ever stayed. Nice to get there and be able to make a cuppa tea or coffee with biscuits and a pint of milk in the fridge before we'd even thought about going out shopping! Jane & Robert were lovely hosts to chat to when we met.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and comfortable and functional. The fridge was very small and thankfully only 3 of our party went as it wasn't large enough to accommodate food for 5 unless you wanted to shop daily. There was no large pot/casserole for making stew/risotto etc and i had to purchase one.I've never had to pay extra for towels before.
