Retreat to the heart of the Dorset countryside with friends, family, and your four-legged companions at this charming holiday home, where character and comfort come together, complemented by a beautiful, private garden and far-reaching rural views. Set amid fields and woodlands, this location is a dream for those who enjoy scenic walks and adventures with their furry pals.

Enter through the upper ground-floor hallway, where you’ll find a delightful twin bedroom. A short flight of stairs leads to the first floor, home to a super-king-size bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom. This floor also features a charming mezzanine nook perfect for a quiet read overlooking the lounge below. On the ground floor, a snug awaits, offering a cosy spot to unwind with a film while your canine companion relaxes nearby. You''ll also find another lovely twin bedroom on this floor with an en-suite bathroom, along with a separate shower room. Continue through to the open-plan kitchen/diner, where large windows frame views of the garden and surrounding countryside. The kitchen’s central island makes mealtime prep a breeze, and there’s ample space to gather and enjoy meals together. Outside, the raised terrace offers a perfect setting for al fresco dining, leading down to a spacious lawn where your pooch can stretch their legs. A stream runs through the garden, complete with a bridge that adds a charming touch to this idyllic outdoor space. Off-road parking for two cars is available.

Footpaths and bridleways lead right from your door to Beaminster, Parnham, Mapperton, and Netherbury, with plenty of open space to explore together. For a coastal day trip, head to Bridport (6 miles) with its lively markets, or enjoy beachside strolls and seafood treats in West Bay (8 miles) and Burton Bradstock (10 miles). The famous Jurassic Coast is nearby, with beautiful trails along the South West Coast Path promising tail-wagging views. Alternatively, venture up Lewesdon Hill, 3 miles away, for panoramic countryside vistas that both you and your pup can enjoy.
