This charming Dorset village is surrounded by picturesque countryside ideal for taking long walks, cycling or horse-riding. Visit the friendly local pub, artists workshops and tea rooms or take a trip to the many attractions lining the Jurassic Coast and admire the stunning scenery along the way. The nearby market town of Bridport offers a good selection of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants as well as an eclectic arts scene and vintage market where you can seek out some treasures. The coastal village of West Bay is also an ideal spot to while away an afternoon, as you can watch the fishing boats bobbing in the harbour or explore the swathes of beach.

Tucked at the end of an idyllic terrace of cottages, head through the picket gate and around to the rear of the cottage to the main entrance. Once inside you are met with a charming country kitchen, laid out in a galley style. This well-equipped space has a gas hob and electric oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, microwave and washer/dryer. Heading through a doorway brings you into the cosy lounge/diner. Full of character features, this welcoming room has a wood burner and TV for those chilly winter evenings in. Dining space opposite is the perfect spot for enjoying leisurely meals together. When the day is done, take the winding stairs to a spacious super-king-size bedroom (can be arranged as a twin on request), where all your comforts have been considered. This light and bright room has a dressing area, TV and stylish en-suite bathroom complete with bath, separate shower and WC.

Heading outside there is a pretty terraced garden to the rear, where you can settle down at the table with a drink and a good book. Roadside parking can be found to the front of the property (subject to availability).

A really lovely cottage with everything that you could possibly need. Very comfortable and beautifully furnished with an excellent bed. A very nice welcome hamper and a discount voucher for the Estate kitchen were a nice touch. A lovely location with lots of good walking, our dog loved it.

A beautiful cottage in a great location. The village and Estate are lovely. Walking around Colmers Hill and the Holloway was a delight. We wanted a short break with plenty of walking nearby and it delivered. Top rate.

A very cosy and well located property. Close to the centre of the estate and its excellent facilities. A nice cafe on hand served excellent meals and snacks. Plenty of opportunities to find some lovely walks close at hand. A gem of a place.

Lovely cute cottage in a great location. Warm and cosy with a lovely welcome hamper waiting for us. Great for a couple exploring the local area with or without dogs. Pub nearby but didnt get to use as had to come home early due to our dog being ill. Will have to come back another time.

The cottage is lovely and we really enjoyed our stay. It is comfortable and nicely done. There is access to lovely walks close by, beaches and pubs within easy reach. Perfect location for us. We, and our 2 dogs, loved it and settled in really quickly. We would definitely stay again.
