Surrounded by rolling countryside, this picturesque Dorset village is the ideal base for days spent enjoying long walks or riding. The village itself has a vibrant centre, complete with pub, galleries and tea rooms and being situated near to the market town of Bridport, there is plenty to do here. Bridport has a varied selection of shops selling both essential supplies and vintage treasures, or head on to West Bay where you can watch the boats moving about the harbour or let off some steam on the beach. With good road links nearby, you can easily explore the many attractions lining the Jurassic Coast and admire the stunning scenery as you travel. A shared driveway leads to this detached cottage.

The main entrance can be found to the front of the property, accessed via a sloping gravel path that winds through the garden. Once inside you are met with an entrance hall giving access into the inviting sitting room. Full of character features, this welcoming room has an inglenook with wood burner and TV for those chilly winter evenings in. Next you will come to the charming country-style kitchen/diner. This well-equipped space has an inglenook fireplace with log burner, an electric range-style oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and microwave. Also leading off the entrance hall is the utility room, complete with washing machine, tumble dryer and WC. When the day is done, take the winding stairs from the sitting room to the first floor where you can choose from the four lovely bedrooms, which all overlook the garden. There is a super-king-size zip-and-link (which can be arranged as a twin on request), two king-size bedrooms (one with a TV) and a single bedroom. Completing this floor is the stylish bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC, as well as a separate shower room with WC.

Doors lead out from the kitchen into the pretty garden, which sits mostly to the front and is staged across multiple levels. Immediately outside of the kitchen area, you will find a wonderful decked area with stunning views and the chance of spotting some of the resident wildlife, including woodpeckers. Here you can sit at the table and unwind with a drink, fire up the BBQ or take a dip in the hot tub. Younger members of the family will enjoy racing around the generous lawns before taking a bounce on the trampoline. Off-road parking for four cars is available to the front of the property.

A spacious house in a great location with everything you need. It's wonderfully quiet, the beds are very comfortable, and the hot tub was wonderfully relaxing after our hikes.

Lovely large yet cosy cottage. Great garden for our energetic dog and plenty of walks on your doorstep. All amenities in the housecwe required. Hot tub was a bit disappointing as a lot of shrubbery overhanging and a bit slimmy, due to leaves and bit falling in it! Location excellent to Bridport with all it amenities. Would recommend......

We had the most wonderful stay. Couldn't fault the cottage and the location within the estate is second to none. Will look forward to a return visit as soon as we can.
