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.

Dogs are charged at £20 each per full or part week.

Please note there is a refundable £150 security deposit for this property payable closer to the start of your holiday.

A lovely clean cottage equipped to a very high standard. The property was perfect for us with lots of pots and pans in the kitchen and a bbq in the enclosed garden. Its position is great for visiting all the lovely Dorset countryside. We will definitely book again.

We just had a lovely 4 night stay in this cottage. It is ideal if you want a peaceful get away from it all break. We walked to the two local pubs but you need a car for anything else.

Stylish cottage that has been renovated, but retaining character. The kitchen/dining area with skylights is amazing. Well equipped, comfortable and positioned within a quaint and very quiet village. If you want to escape then this is the place to go.

A very charming cottage set within a pretty village with a local pub. The propertys interiors were beautiful which made this place feel like a home away from home. Our dog loved the spacious, enclosed garden. We we a group of six, and although its nice to spend time together we didnt feel on top of one another. We loved playing games in the snug roRead moreom and the kitchen with breakfast bar was the ideal social space. The property isnt too far from West Bay, which has some great eateries. Hide
