Sleeping six guests across three bedrooms, this family-friendly end of terrace cottage is set between Weymouth (15 miles west) and Swanage (16 miles east) in South Dorset. It’s made for Jurassic Coast adventures (1 mile) offering an ideal home from home welcome after a great day out. You’ll find the convenience of off-road parking for one car, plus a pub and shop within a mile. And you’re in easy reach of snap-happy Lulworth Cove (1 mile), and sandy Mupe Bay Beach (1 mile) where you can marvel at chalk cliffs and see the fascinating scatter of Mupe Rocks.

Follow a flight of steps up to the entrance of this handsome holiday property, decorated in contemporary coastal-style with sandy tones, sunny shades of yellow and harmonious wood furniture. From the open-plan living and dining room, take two steps up to the sleek kitchen (note: low ceiling) and cook up a storm with everything you need to hand. With two family bathrooms, everyone can relax in this homely retreat. Sink into squishy sofas in the living area and watch favourite films, and settle in to dreamy bedrooms, a cosy twin, a double bedroom with views from a balcony, and a bunk bedroom - ideal for children. On sunny afternoons, dine alfresco in the fully-enclosed tiered lawned garden.

We had a fantastic stay. We travelled with 4 adults, two children and two dogs and all really enjoyed the cottage. The enclosed garden was perfect for the dogs and lovely space for us all inside. Beautiful location.

We had a lovely weekend in this cottage, and especially loved the large room with two sofas and big dining table, able to relax at all times. We got a few days of walking and relaxing, this is a great place to wind down. The local pubs are great too, not to mention the scenery and Dorset Apple Cake! We'd love to come back sometime.

Great house every thing we needed was there. Location was lovely 10 mins from the lulworth cove we didn't realise we were about 5 mins from the army tank training barracks so every now and then you would here gun fire witch I realy loved you couldn't hear it in the house tho. Parking was OK but some people would struggle to park a car in the garageRead more because it's so small. Hide
