Stay within perfect proximity between the coast and the country in this romantic property which welcomes couples and their dogs too! Spend your days hand-in-hand walking the South West Coast Path, exploring Dorset’s beautiful quaint villages and stopping off at independent shops and cafes to refuel for a holiday you’ll remember for many years to come.

The property opens into the charming open-plan living room/kitchen/diner where thoughtful touches make you feel immediately at home. Take your pick of seating options from the sofa with scatter cushions or the emerald-green armchair and kick back and relax in front of the wood burner and Smart TV. For mealtimes, the kitchen is equipped with all you could need to whip up a feast for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the small but perfectly formed dining table is the perfect place to enjoy your meal with views of the garden out of the window. Off the open-plan living space is the door to the bedroom, a stylish king-size with a pastel colour palette and a modern, tiled en-suite bathroom. Outside, the enclosed garden is a wonderful place to soak up the sunshine, whether that’s with a cup of coffee in the morning or dining al fresco on a long summer’s evening.

Located half a mile from the hamlet of Salwayash, this property offers easy access to some of Dorset’s finest gems. Head to the beaches of West Bay, Lyme Regis and Charmouth to soak up the fresh sea air, all within 8 miles, or visit the characterful town of Bridport to peruse the independent shops for trinkets and dine at one of the many fine cafes and restaurants. For a taste of the countryside, head to Lewesdon Hill (3.5 miles) or Pilsdon Pen (5.5 miles) for panoramic viewpoints of the sweeping coast and countryside.

The cottage is really charming. It is extremely clean and tidy, and size wise was perfect for the two of us plus our two dogs. The cottage is attached to the side of the main farmhouse but you wouldn't know you're on a farm. The location is quiet and peaceful, with the odd tractor rumbling by and cows occasionally mooing.

A perfect base for exploring the beautiful Dorset coast and countryside. Clean and comfortable cottage, friendly and welcoming owner. On fast B road but very little traffic at night. Entrance narrow but no problem for our VW Golf. We really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely cottage with great country views that is very well equipped. A truly dog safe garden. We loved exploring the area. Our only issue that will stop us rebooking is the cottage is alongside a busy B road that is very disturbing from very early to very late. It is tricky coming out from a narrow gateway onto such a busy road.

This cottage is a gem. We were blessed by wall-to-wall sunshine and by warm weather nobody should expect in early April, but it made our days out at Lyme Regis, Symondsbury, Weymouth, Burton Bradstock, Beaminster and Dorchester just wonderful. There are good pubs to eat out at, though for all but two nights we used the excellent facilities in the cRead moreottage. Had the weather not been so spectacular I'm sure we'd have been OK and our labrador was very much at home on countryside and beach walks. Hide

A warm and cosy cottage with all the equipment and mod cons for a great stay. Unfortunately the Tv is not a smart TV and will only show terrestrial channels. No Netflix or freeview i player etc. vodaphone mobile is good. The exit onto the main road from the property is narrow but ok, the speeding traffic on the busy road however is dangerous and itRead more difficult to see when leaving. The cottage is close to Supermarkets. Dog walks possible over the ( busy) road and nearby to great walks by car. Hide

We loved this cottage! You are 5 minutes away from Bridport and 15 minutes from Hive and Cogden. We had such lovely beach weather all week, but there is so much to do if you don't want to be at the beach all the time. Langdon Hill was a great base for walks to Golden Cap and Seatown. The cottage is so beautiful and comfortable. We loved the BBQ/firRead moree pit. It made our summer evenings so relaxed and just like home really! We would absolutely stay here again. Becky is such a lovely host too! Hide
