Overview
Property code: 77439

This delightful 18th Century thatched farmhouse, built from “red brick in raking Flemish bond", is perfect for those looking for a family or group holiday in Dorset. Situated just under three miles from the bustling market town of Bridport.

Perfect for larger groups looking for a relaxing break near the stunning Jurassic Coast, this delightful 18th-century, detached thatched farmhouse is a spacious and homely hideaway. Sleeping up to nine people across four bedrooms, along with three canine companions, it’s an idyllic country home surrounded by peaceful farmland, with a shop and pub within walking distance. Boasting a games room and private hot tub for evening dips under the stars, this rural retreat allows you to do as much or as little as you like. 

This beautiful red brick farmhouse oozes character and while it has all the modern comforts you’d expect, many traditional features remain. The open-plan and light-filled kitchen/dining room is a great space for entertaining, as well as a super spot to start the day with chatter at the table as you all enjoy a hearty breakfast. Original beams, stone floor and an open fire add to this room’s charm. Budding chefs will love cooking up a storm on the Range oven and hob in the well-equipped kitchen, which has all you need for light breakfasts or formal family meals. When it’s time to relax, head for the cosy sitting room where sumptuous sofas and a roaring wood burner invite you to unwind and put your feet up in front of a film. Those not quite ready for bed will love the games room, where you’ll find table tennis. When it’s time to turn in, head upstairs where you’ll find four pretty and restful bedrooms spread. All are zip-and-link rooms making the sleeping arrangements as flexible as you need them to be.

Step outside and really soak up the holiday atmosphere with a dip in the hot tub, as you stargaze and sip on a glass of bubbly. Fire up the BBQ and enjoy chatting long into the night on the dining terrace, which overlooks rolling fields as far as the eye can see.

We instantly felt at home at Dorset Cottage. The house is big enough to comfortably accomodate a large family, but cozy and homely. The layout of furniture and amenities is well thought out and perfectly presented! The garden is wonderfully manicured and the view 'to die for'!

Beautifully well kept farmhouse with ample room, comfy bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen with some lovely welcome touches.

Great location and lovely house. Good quality all through the property and really nice to have more glasses, crockery and cutlery than the standard 8 settings you get elsewhere. Definitely to be recommended. The Spyway Inn is worth a visit, lovely people and food was great.

The cottage was spacious, well equipped and thoughtfully laid out. It is in a stunning location, remote enough to enjoy the countryside views but still possible to walk to Symondsbury in about 30 minutes and / or a 5 minute drive into Bridport. It was a pleasant surprise the see brand new washing machine, tumble dryer and table tennis table. The beRead moreds deserve a special mention as they were excellent, very large and very comfortable. Overall an excellent cottage for a large family holiday. Hide
