Overview
Property code: DC177

Based in a picturesque Dorset village, this stylish and light-filled property provides comfortable and attractive accommodation for a family looking to explore the beautiful Bridport area of Dorset.

Get the family together for a trip to the countryside, staying in the heart of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Just a short journey to the coast and with close proximity to the area’s picturesque rural villages, this delectable cottage offers a delightful stay for visitors both young and old. Sleeping eight guests and offering a downstairs bedroom on the ground floor and a bunkbed room on the first floor, the property is ideally suited to an intergenerational family and groups with children. You’re more than welcome to bring along one canine companion with you, and the location is ideal for setting off to discover walking routes with man’s best friend at your heels.

This contemporary property has been lovingly updated to offer a truly unbeatable stay, boasting stylish decor and up-to-date appliances throughout. The heart of the house is the modern kitchen/diner, where a generous dining table sits underneath a skylight creating a bright and cheery atmosphere. Swing open the French doors to enjoy the fresh air and a view of the garden, making use of the Amazon Echo for music whilst cooking and dining. Once tummies have been filled and the dishwasher has been stacked, find two cosy lounges for evening entertainment. Both can be kept warm and toasty with wood burners, with one offering armchairs and window seats for getting lost in a good book and the other providing comfy sofas for sitting down to a film. Whilst all four bedrooms are equally delightful, the ground floor room is truly a joy to behold. Offering French doors with views over the garden and a dressing room with en-suite, this accessible double bedroom is a perfect spot for your guest of honour. Exit via French doors in the bedroom or the kitchen to explore the al fresco areas to unwind, taking drinks out onto the gravelled seating area or perching on the lawn.

This beautiful stone cottage is in a beautiful village, it is clean and well kept throughout. The gardens were lovely and we were delighted to find the little stream along the side of the drive at the rear. We would be happy to stay here again, it was even better than it looked in the website pictures.
