Built in 1827 this former farm labourer’s cottage has been lovingly updated to provide a fantastic holiday home set in a secluded and breathtaking location close to the beautiful coast of Dorset.
Sleeping ten and welcoming one dog, this characterful cottage is an idyllic retreat for a group of friends and family. It boasts lots of garden space for everyone to enjoy, including the waggy-tailed ones. They can stretch their four legs out on the large lawn, and go mutts playing games of football and fetch with you. Afterwards, you can always give paws a rinse under the outdoor shower. When you do want to head out for longer walks with your hound, the South West Coast Path is only 1 mile away.
Inside, the cottage is bright and homely with room for your group to spread out and relax, and more than enough floorspace for several of Fido’s best and comfiest beds. For cooler times there’s a wood burner, as well as underfloor heating, so paws will always be warm. Relax and socialise in the kitchen/diner and connected lounge. Lots of seating means that while half of your group prepares dinner, the others can be in the room with them to share stories. Your dog will be there to help too of course, in case you drop a tasty titbit that needs eating! Watch a film, play games, or read in the glass-ceilinged lounge, or settle in the snug for a quiet night in. When everyone’s ready for bed, let sleeping dogs lie and cosy down in one of the pretty bedrooms. Outside, light the BBQ or fire up the pizza oven. Younger guests can enjoy the tree swing, while your hound has a run on the lawn.
Follow the South West Coast Path to reach natural beauty spots such as Winspit Quarry (1 mile) and Dancing Ledge (2.5 miles), where your dog can have a sniff around while you admire the sweeping views. Further inland, don’t miss The Keats Quarry Dinosaur Footprints (1.5 miles).
