Overview
Property code: OC-DC080

On the doorstep of some of Dorset’s most exquisite natural gems, spend hours and days exploring the surrounding areas. Hunt for fossils on Charmouth Beach and stroll past colourful beach huts, ice cream in hand. Take your dog to the year-round dog-friendly Monmouth Beach (3.5 miles) and cool off toes and paws with a splash in the sea. For the best vistas, stretch your legs with a walk up the magnificent Golden Cap (4.5 miles) and later refuel with a bite to eat in the local pub (50 yards).

Take three steps down to the front door and let your eyes roam over the bright, beautiful spaces within. Set across the ground floor, the spacious lounge and kitchen/diner welcome you with lashings of light and a playful mix of classic and contemporary. Stretch out on the sofa as the wood burner casts its amber glow across the room and watch on as the kids set to work on a board game. For later on, there is a Smart TV and DVD player in the lounge so you can find a film or documentary to suit everyone and settle in for an evening of light entertainment accompanied by some sweet treats. For lunches and dinners at home, delve into the fridge and cupboards and get cracking on delicious family meals. As tantalising aromas waft their way from the oven, lay up the dining table or, for something extra special, prepare the outside table for feasts under the open sky. When you can feel tiredness begin to kick in, the staircase will lead you to the first floor. Here you will discover the three bedrooms and the family bathroom. Made up of two double bedrooms, one with far reaching countryside views, and one single. The cosy bedrooms all enjoy natural light and, for extra indulgent, are each kitted out with Smart TVs. For a morning rinse or evening soak, the family bathroom on the first floor has a shower over the bath and a heated towel rail so you can wrap yourself up in a warm, fluffy embrace.

Outside, the cottage benefits from an enclosed suntrap courtyard. Elegantly designed and bordered by pretty pot plants, it is a wonderful spot to sit with a book in the sunshine or gather around the table and chairs in the evening over a bottle of wine.

Hope Cottage is the perfect base for exploring the Jurassic Coast. Its a short walk down the hill to the coast and local amenities. We had a very comfortable stay and no issues with parking nearby. The cottage was child and dog friendly and was well equipped with everything we needed. We would love to stay again on our next visit.

Cottage looks very small from outside, but very comfortable inside . Parking could be an issue during height of season as no parking outside cottage, although you can park opposite, if space available!! Bus stop outside, which can be useful. Cottage on a hill, so if you have small children, or elderly with walking difficulties might be an issue.

Parking space available but even a little car would struggle to park easily - we didnt have any problem getting on road parking. Hide

Great attractive and comfortable cottage nicely furnished and quality appliances/equipment. Easy to park on road opposite always space. 10 minutes walk to brilliant dog friendly beach. Great base to explore surrounding area. Jonny the owner was kind enough to find and return something we left behind. We will return in the future.

a very pretty cottage well decorated, but I found the road it is on too busy and noisy at the back too as it has the main road not far. one of the room was very small. On the plus side It is within walking distance to the beach.
