Ideally placed spending for days spent exploring beautiful West Dorset and the Jurassic Coast, this charming Grade II listed cottage has everything you could need for a truly relaxing family holiday

Nestled in a picturesque village setting lies this traditional thatched cottage, steeped in character and original features. Surrounded by beautiful countryside accessible from your front door, this is the perfect rural retreat for you and your family to escape the stresses of everyday life. Centrally positioned to explore some of Dorset’s finest beaches, market towns and family attractions, this property is the ideal home from home.

The lounge with its beautiful inglenook fireplace, original bread oven and feature wood burner provides a cosy, homely hub where you can gather altogether in front of the fire to play games and watch your favourite movies. Quirky narrow doorways and winding cottage-style stairs lead you up to the first floor where a restful sleep can be assured in one of the two peaceful and tranquil bedrooms. The enclosed terraced garden is the perfect spot for some al fresco dining with all the family.

Ambers is a really lovely cottage, very cosy and well equipped with kitchen equipment/books/games etc. Pretty village with a riverside walk on the doorstep. The local pub was very welcoming, with good food. Would definitely recommend, and stay again if we come this way another time.

We had a good week at the cottage, notwithstanding the torrential rain. It is well equipped and comfortable. The kitchen diner is a good size, as are the living room and bedroom. The main difficulty is the shower over the bath, which is inadequate and also uncomfortable (due to the low ceiling pointed out by the owners). The only problem we had wasRead more the poor drainage of the bathtub which left water behind. If this is fixed This cottage represents good value for the Jurassic Coast. Hide

A lovely cottage in a quiet location. We spent a week and would happily have stayed a month! The little terraced patio part of the garden was a great place for morning coffee and evening meals. The oversized bed was comfortable and I'm certain it could have slept four people! We know Dorset quite well and chose the village as a good starting spot fRead moreor day visits to other areas. A definite 'would recommend' as far as we are concerned. Hide

A comfortable thatched cottage in a village well positioned for the coast path walks we wanted to do between Lyme and Weymouth. Very welcoming village pub. Parking immediately outside no problem during our stay.

The cottage is in a great location if you're seeking peace and quiet plus its situated between Weymouth and Lyme Regis so its ideal if you fancy visiting coastal areas not to far away. The cottage itself is very quaint but adequate enough for a couple or small family. Very old fashioned which I found quite charming as it fitted the character of theRead more building. Hide

Beautiful cottage with the best equipped kitchen I have ever come across in a holiday let. Lovely village location with a local pub and a short walk to a second one. It is only a short drive to a lovely beach and special cafe.
