Nature enthusiasts looking for a traditional countryside cottage stay near the beach in the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty will love this charming property. Filled with characterful features like wooden beamed ceilings, wooden furnishings and a stone fireplace, you’ll feel cosy and relaxed when you arrive. Bring up to two canine companions and five other human guests and explore the surrounding nature trails and beaches.
As you enter the stone-built detached property, you’ll find yourself in a sizable hallway with a tiled floor and access to the utility area with a shower room. Continue into the spacious kitchen/diner with wooden cabinets with plenty of space for a joint effort with evening meals plus a circular wooden table in the centre of the room. After dinner, socialise with your loved ones in the cosy lounge, which has plenty of natural light, antique furniture, a pop of red throughout the decor and an eye-catching stone fireplace with a wood-burner effect fire. Upstairs are three bedrooms – a double with an en-suite and two twin rooms that share a bathroom. Outside is a floral and green cottage garden with furniture.
During your stay on the outskirts of the small village of Osmington, stroll into the centre (0.5 miles) to find a cafe and farm shop. Head along the South West Coast Path from the village to reach Hidden Beach (1 mile). National Trust Ringstead Bay is 2.5 miles away and is a peaceful spot for a swim and a walk along the shore. If you fancy a lively day out, shopping or an evening meal, head to Weymouth (5.5 miles). Beyond here is the renowned Chesil Beach (11 miles).
