Beautiful and very stylish whilst maintaining cottage character. Exceptionally well equipped and with great living space in and outdoors. Suited us perfectly for family of 4 (kids 2 & 4) and grandparents in downstairs annexe.

Reviewed by Mrs R Beale 3rd April 2019

The cottage was perfectly suited to our needs; it is cosy and beautifully presented. We've been taking my mother (now aged 90) away for the past three years in the spring and this cottage is by far the best we've stayed in. The downstairs bedroom was perfect for her. The location is idyllic; plenty of footpaths for the walkers in our party to eRead morexplore, a very friendly village and easy access to the coast and places of interest. We didn't need to light the woodburners as we were blessed with beautiful weather, but there was a generous supply of logs. The house is very well equipped and spacious; as there were only four of us we didn't really use the snug. A very successful break; mum wants to come again so hopefully we'll be back! Hide

Fabulous house in a great location. Well equipped and very comfortable. Cosy and warm even in February when the weather was exceptionally cold, windy and sometimes wet.

We want to live here! A stunning restoration/refurbishment of a village house. It contains just about every conceivable modern convenience. A great location as well.

A lovely, newly modernised cottage with excellent facilities and well placed for Dorchester, Bridport and Lyme Regis. Very nice village with plenty of walks.

Location

Note: As the postcode is used to identify the general area of the property, it may not always reflect its precise location, therefore please only use this map as a guide.

Although it's just three hours from London and the South East, Dorset feels like a world away from the hubbub of the city. This gem of a county offers the very best of rural England: magnificent coastal scenery, vast sandy beaches, rolling hills, charming villages, country pubs, stately homes and medieval castles.

Take time to explore the dramatic and diverse coastline. Stretching 95 miles from East Devon to Poole, the Jurassic Coast has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and is the only natural phenomenon in England to achieve this status. Here, visitors can uncover Earth's fascinating history whilst enjoying unspoilt views over superb beaches, many of which welcome canine companions too. From the iconic rural rock arch at Durdle Door to the endless sandy expanses of Studland, Dorset has it all.

Why not head to Lyme Regis, classified as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty? Like much of West Dorset, it has an old-world ambience and offers excellent fossil hunting opportunities. Or head east to discover the beauty of Lulworth and the vibrant seaside resort of Swanage.

Steeped in history and with a certain quintessential charm, Dorset's glorious countryside is peppered with small towns and villages which are well worth a visit. Many are graced with fine buildings, immortalised in the books of Thomas Hardy, a Dorset-born novelist and poet. For more energetic visitors, footpaths and cycleways reveal the county's hidden secrets with the coast always close at hand for those who love the water.
