  • Comfortable family home from home with clean, crisp tones and nautical themes near Lulworth Cove with space for four people and one lucky canine pal
  • South-facing enclosed garden perfect to relax in and enjoy the peace and quiet
  • A stone's throw from natural beauty spots and many coast and countryside walks
Property code: DC028

A chance to unplug and recharge, this coastal haven is in the grounds of a Grade II-listed farm and is only 1 mile from the world-famous Lulworth Cove.

This beautiful home on Dorset’s stunning Jurassic Coast is ideal for taking a romantic or family holiday – without leaving your beloved dogs out. Spend your days taking your pets on long walks along the coastal path, and swimming and picnicking on sandy beaches. If you fancy some chilled-out time, send the kids coasteering while you enjoy a delicious cream tea in a dog-friendly cafe. There’s space for up to four humans over two bedrooms, and also a dog is welcome to come along too.

 

This lovely cottage has been tastefully renovated, with hints of the original building such as exposed stone walls and lovely wooden beams in the bedrooms. The inside is decorated in seaside-inspired shades, with nautical artwork on the walls. In the homely open-plan lounge, relax with a book on the sofa while Fido warms his fur by the roaring wood burner. Accessed via some steps, why not take breakfast into the lovely terraced garden on a fine day? There are plenty of shady spots for Fido to enjoy a snooze while you admire views over Bindon Hill as you sip tea.

 

You’ll be in West Lulworth, 1 mile from the coast and the iconic Lulworth Cove - here you can join the South West Coast Path. This part of the country is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty thanks to its diverse landscapes and wildlife habitats. The 2.5-mile stretch of the coast path towards Durdle Door is perfect for taking an afternoon walk over the pretty cliffs; this natural limestone arch is one of the most photographed spots in Dorset – you can go all the way under it if you’re a strong swimmer.

The cottage was comfortable, well-equipped and great for walks with our dog. Well-equipped kitchen which made it easy to prepare meals on evenings when we stayed in to eat (recommend The Castle Inn nearby but best to book a table). Note that the SPAR shop in the village is currently closed but it is only a short drive to other local shops eg Wool. Read moreLulworth Cove and Durdle Door both easily accessible. Hide

An excellent cottage in a superb location. Just 3 mins from the local pub The Castle Inn ( remember to book your table) and 10/15 min walk to Lulworth Cove. Cottage is clean, comfortable and has all amenities that you could ask for. Plenty of access to various walks within 5 mins or if there for a couple of days perfect location for other areas of Read morethe Dorset. Hide

Walk-in wardrobe, John Lewis crockery, enclosed grassy area for Millie (our Lab) to play and 'relax' in; what's not to like? Seriously though, we are so glad we found Carefree Cottage.
