Property code: OC-78567

Close to the heart of town, this striking, converted chapel is perfectly situated for a fantastic getaway. Just 8 miles away is the wonderful beach at West Bay, one of many gems dotting the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and a great place to spend a family day by the sea. Perfect for small families or couples looking to escape the everyday, this home sleeps four over two bedrooms and has a private courtyard waiting to be filled with the clink of glasses as you raise a toast to a fabulous holiday.

Great for a small car, and making unpacking an easy feat, pull up and park in the off-road parking space or find a space outside on the road. Once inside, climb to the first floor where the living space welcomes you with open arms and creates an inviting hub of the home. Beautifully light and bright, the striking window is a gorgeous feature and high ceilings help to create a calm and spacious ambience. Cosy up in front of the TV before setting the table for dinner and heading into the kitchen to concoct a feast. With all you need to cater for all occasions, rustle up something delicious and then pack the leftovers into a picnic to feed you on tomorrow’s adventures. Post-dinner, descend to the ground floor and head outside to enjoy a tipple or two in the courtyard, the perfect way to end your day. With a bedroom on each floor, drift off for a peaceful night’s sleep before starting your day with a soak in the tub and an al fresco coffee.

Enjoy a gentle stroll into Beaminster where you can pick up local produce, enjoy a night off from the kitchen, and let little ones play, before heading further afield to explore. For a day filled with sea and sand, make the 8-mile trip south to West Bay where towering cliffs create a dramatic background to the golden sands and shingle where you can hunt for fossils or settle down with a delicious portion of fish and chips.

Lovely cottage, beautifully situated and very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Close to restaurants and a Co-op - though watch out, very few restaurants were open on Mondays. The bed was on the soft side so worth being aware if you prefer a firm mattress. The parking space is indeed very small. Our Clio hung over the footpath and although Read morewhen we spoke to neighbours they said they were ok with this, it was clear that they were annoyed by cars which overhung a lot more and blocked people walking on walking sticks or with dogs (nearly everyone). We very much enjoyed our stay - a unique location. Hide
