Treat your beloved canine companions and up to five other human guests to a special getaway in a 17th-century property which has retained its character and charm throughout with mullion windows, high ceilings and original fireplaces. After a day of exploring the sandy beaches, nature reserves and coastal walking trails in the Dorset Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty, fire up the BBQ in the garden or relax in the sunroom.
Step inside this Grade II-listed property and make yourself at home in the cosy lounge with a blend of contemporary and antique furnishings, a wooden beamed ceiling, comfortable seating and a wood burner. Continue into the spacious dining room where you can gather for a banquet while admiring views of the garden. The adjoining neutral-toned ‘U’-shaped kitchen boasts farmhouse-style units and an Aga. Completing the ground floor is a study, garden room, utility room and a separate WC. Climb the stairs to reach a bathroom and three elegant and thoughtfully decorated bedrooms – consisting of a super-king-size with an en-suite which has a rolltop bath, another king-size and a twin room. Outside is a cottage-style garden with flora surrounding the furniture.
Unwind in the countryside town of Beaminster in the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where you’ll have a handful of eateries, shops and cafes within 0.5 miles. Take Fido for a runaround at the Loscombe Nature Reserve (4 miles) or Kingcombe Meadows Nature Reserve (6.5 miles). Go for a swim at the canine-friendly Bridport Beach (7.5 miles) and stroll along the South West Coast Path to Eype Beach (8.5 miles) and the historic Thorncombe Beacon (9 miles). You’ll also be 24 miles from the unusual strip of sand almost entirely surrounded by sea – Chesil Beach.
