Property code: OC-H29331

This quaint stone cottage sits in the picturesque village of Chideock, surrounded by idyllic countryside and just a stone’s throw from the Jurassic Coast. Ideal for couples and small families travelling with their faithful four-legged friend, a stay here promises long coastal walks and fossil-hunting beach trips. Back home, the garden is a mini oasis with lots of nooks and crannies for Fido to sniff out adventure while you enjoy a cuppa in the sun.

This inviting stone cottage is arranged over two floors and warmed by an air source heat pump. Step into the warm and welcoming living room, which has a wood burner for additional heat when required, and sink into plush sofas for cosy evenings in. The kitchen is light and bright with quality appliances, room for Fido’s food and water bowls, and enough space to dine together. A door opens into the gorgeous rear garden where trees, shrubs and flowers attract wildlife, and there are organic herbs to flavour your cooking, plus a table for al fresco dining. When night falls, two cosy bedrooms call you upstairs. Choose between a double room and a room with twin beds. A family bathroom offers a new leash of life come morning.

A local pub just steps from the cottage offers tasty treats for the entire pack, while the Chideock Manor Gardens (just over 0.5 miles) also welcomes dogs with open arms. It’s less than a mile to Seatown where you can pick up the South West Coast Path for spectacular views over this dramatic landscape, and Fido can pick up a stick or two! This is a fantastic location to explore the Jurassic Coast from the fossil-hunting haven of Charmouth (4 miles) to the historic harbour town of Lyme Regis (7 miles).

We loved our stay at Hope Cottage largely because the size of the property suited us well and the location to reach the beautiful Jurassic coastline was super. The garden was pretty and suited us with a dog. The lounge was comfortable and bedrooms good sizes for us. However, our mistake, but we didnt realise it was on such a main road and the traRead moreffic both day and night was a lot and did affect our sleep sadly. It was hot and so we did need windows open too though. We did go in peak holiday season though so perhaps during quieter periods traffic and noise may reduce. Hide

Hope Cottage is fantastic. We loved our stay. The rooms are gorgeous and well equipped. The garden is delightful and we loved using it. Chideock is a lovely spot to be in to get to other parts of Dorset. The two local pubs are great and the small bay of Seatown is a short drive away for a lovely pizza and a drink in the sunshine. The road that theRead more cottage is on is a busy one so if you are a light sleeper it may impact you. It didnt stop me or the husband sleeping as we were in the main room on the back of the house, but my daughter did struggle at the start. Be warned the double bed in the main bedroom is super comfy and you may struggle to get out of bed!!!! I wanted to take the bed home with me!! Parking is available in the car park but limited and so there is a bit of anxiety each time you come home because if you cant get parked, there is no where else! However we did always get parked. We loved being here and we would definitely come back!!! Hide

Lovely cottage tastefully decorated. Beautiful garden and ten minute walk from Seatown beach,, childrens playground near by too . George pub has great food and the Spa shop over the road. Would recommend - owner really responsive - we took a taxi from Axminster for 30 and we didnt need a car. It is on a main road so you feel the rumbling of trafficRead more but the location and cottage made it worth it - plenty of cutlery and plates too - would recommend Hide
