  • Ideally placed for touring the whole of Dorset, with excellent road links nearby
Property code: OC-78462

This beautiful property, situated just 4 miles from West Bexington Beach, is ideal for family get-togethers or friends’ reunions – not forgetting the loyal hounds, of course! Sleeping ten across five tranquil bedrooms and with space for up to two dogs to snooze, this superb country house is the perfect place to spend a peaceful holiday away from the hustle and bustle yet is still close to some fantastic tourist spots. Pop to Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens (6.5 miles) or discover the Jurassic ammonite pavement at Monmouth Beach in Lyme Regis (17.5 miles).

The property, which has its own private driveway, is decorated in a perfect blend of the contemporary and traditional. The huge kitchen is fresh and bright with sleek shiny units and a breakfast bar island in the middle, while the open fire and rich, warm tones in the lounge beckon you to sink back in the sofas and relax, the pups at your feet. Choose from any of the wonderful bedrooms that will ensure a restful night’s sleep; wake up among soft pastel colours and head down to the patio for your morning coffee. Fire up the BBQ out here in the summer while the hounds and kids run around on the lawn.

Children will love discovering the multi-sensory exhibitions at the Dinosaur Museum (11 miles), where canine companions are welcome. They’re also welcome at the enchanting Dorset Teddy Bear Museum just round the corner. Walk the South West Coast Path from secluded Eype Beach (9 miles) which is well worth visiting for fossil hunting and a picnic. If the pups can be left or if someone wants an early night, Badger Watch Dorset (19.5 miles) gives you the unique opportunity to watch wild badgers in their natural habitat in the evening right up until dawn the next morning.

A well furnished property with many large rooms and lots of light. We had great fun making use of the croquet set provided in the lovely large garden. It was very convenient to have a pull-put larder, ample fridge and freezer space and two dishwashers. All in a very quiet rural setting accessed by narrow country roads.

We were a party of 8 adults (4 couples) and the very comfortable and spacious house which has a large terrace and garden with beautiful views suited us perfectly. We all appreciated having our own bathrooms. The house is in a lovely location and village having a beautiful church, a pub within easy walking distance and a vineyard previously owned byRead more the late Stephen Spurrier. Litton Cheney is quiet, peaceful with very friendly residents and is ideally positioned to explore west Dorset. We ate well at The Three Horseshoes in Burton Bradstock and The Anchor at Seatown.

Superb property is a superb location. Very well-equipped and perfectly-suited to a group of 10 adults and a couple of dogs. We've booked for the last two years for special birthday's. The private chefs we've used for celebratory birthday dinners during each stay have been complimentary about the cooking facilities! We hope to stay again the future.
