Nestled in the heart of Burton Bradstock village, this delightful property is perfect for couples or families seeking a relaxing getaway. Surrounded by stunning countryside, it provides easy access to a wealth of attractions. A short stroll leads to Hive Beach – a beautiful spot along the Jurassic Coast. The fabulous West Bay is just a couple of miles along the coastline with its stunning harbour and eateries. Taking a different route each day, you can explore the charming village of Abbotsbury, the scenic heights of Pilsdon Pen, and the legendary Cerne Abbas Giant. Enjoy direct access to picturesque walking and cycling trails, offering breathtaking views at every turn, while the popular coastal town of Lyme Regis is within 10 miles. Ideally situated for discovering Dorset and East Devon, you can also visit the vibrant town of Bridport, renowned for its vintage shops and thriving arts scene.

Once inside, you are met with a welcoming open-plan lounge/diner with a beautiful exposed stone fireplace, fitted with a wood burner, comfortable sofas, a beautiful lounge window seat and space to enjoy leisurely meals. Head through this room and up a step and you'll come to the galley-style kitchen. Just off the kitchen is a helpful utility cupboard, complete with a washing machine and a door to the contemporary shower room. Rising up from the lounge/diner is the staircase to the first floor, home to the inviting king-size bedroom with exposed stone and a view of the lane. On this level, there is also a separate WC. Up a further couple of steps, you’ll find the twin bedroom, which is tucked within the eaves and overlooks the beautiful garden. Due to the setting, there are some areas of restricted head height within this room, which only adds to its character and charm.

Heading outside via the rear hall, you'll find a path shared with the adjoining cottage and steps, which give access to a pretty landscaped garden with a summer house, a patio, furniture and a lawn. The garden is thoughtfully planted with shrubs and perennials to increase privacy and create a tranquil oasis in a central village location. There is roadside parking within 50 metres (subject to availability).

The cottage is lovely, and extremely comfortable, with many useful amenities. We very much loved the beautiful front and back gardens, too. My sister and I really enjoyed our stay there.
