This beautifully extended former whaler’s cottage, dating back to the early 1900s, provides a peaceful hideaway is less than a mile from the shingle shores of Seatown Beach. It’s set along a quiet lane leading directly to the sea and right next to the owner’s home. You’ll have a friendly local pub just 100 metres from your front door – ideal for that post-dinner pint. The lively market town of Bridport is just 2.5 miles away, while 2 miles away is the lovely Symondsbury Estate, a working estate with stunning trails to discover, delicious seasonal food and artisan shops. Lyme Regis, with its famous fossil-rich coastline, is only 6 miles away, and the historic market town of Dorchester (approximately 18 miles) is also a wonderful place to visit.

Step up into this single-storey detached cottage and through the French doors into a light-filled hallway, complete with a glass ceiling and space for your boots and coats. To the left, up one step you’ll find the kitchen and dining room with a vaulted ceiling, wooden floor and lovely wooden dining table and chairs. Off the hallway, down one step is the sitting room, a cosy retreat with comfy sofas, a Smart TV, a wood burner and double-aspect windows. The main bedroom is tucked just off the living area and features a double bed and an en-suite shower room. Back through the hall, you’ll reach the second bedroom with a small double bed and a bathroom where you can soak in the roll-top bath.

French doors from the kitchen lead straight out to the rear garden with seating, BBQ and views stretching out to open countryside. This paved space has raised beds, and an upper terrace accessible via steps. There’s also a furnished summer house to the front. Parking is off-road, with space for one car.

This was a fantastic cottage and had everything you could wish for. Very comfortable and clean. Plenty of seating inside and out. Dogs made very welcome and safe environment. And even a pretty little summer house to sit and knit in to get away from the family for an hour. The parking space was big enough for our Suzuki 4/4 so plenty of room. AcrosRead mores the road a pretty lane takes you down to the beach which has a pub. Coffee bar and pizza shack. And its only a 10 minute walk. 2 minutes up the road there are 2 pubs and a village shop with a great bus service so no need to take your car. The photos do not do the cabin justice. We had a fantastic holiday and will definitely rebook and recommend. Hide
