  • Quaint stone and cob cottage, a peaceful retreat with the convenience of a pub and shop under half a mile away
  • Perfectly situated to discover the beautiful Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site
  • Ideal location for cyclists and walkers to enjoy Dorset's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Property code: OC-DC078

Nestled within the picturesque coastal village of Preston, this historic home is a perfect haven for a couple and their canine companion. Enjoy lovingly preserved original features, a crackling wood burner and a pretty cottage garden for Rover to explore at this welcoming home.

As you enter through the stable door, you’ll find a hallway providing a space to stow your coats and boots after your outdoor escapades. With its traditional farmhouse feel, the kitchen area may be compact but is well-appointed with everything you’ll need for a stress-free stay. Head to the lounge/diner, ignite the wood burner and snuggle up on the sofa while enjoying an evening in front of the Smart TV with Fido snoozing at your feet. At the end of the day, climb the open tread stairs, and you’ll discover a welcoming double bedroom and a bathroom tucked romantically under the low-sloping eaves. Outside, you’ll find the gently sloping garden with a lawn and shrubs. You can relish al fresco dining on the gravelled seating area or begin your day with a morning coffee while watching your furry friend sniff around the safely enclosed borders. The garden is also home to an outhouse utility room.

The cottage is an excellent starting point for exploring Weymouth and the fascinating Jurassic Coast. Venture out on foot to explore the delightful local villages and shops. A mile from your door is the vast expanse of Overcome Beach, where playful pups can bound year-round. Alternatively, follow the main road to reach the vibrant town of Weymouth (3.5 miles) for a day of traditional seaside fun. From the cliffside ruins of Sandsfoot Castle (4.5 miles) to the exquisite Greenhill Gardens (2 miles)—dogs on the lead welcome at both—the options for adventure are limitless. After a day of discovery, you can retreat to one of the numerous pet-positive pubs in the area for a delicious meal.

Lovely little cottage, and although close to the road, very private. Driveway and steps down to the property thickly gravelled, which may cause a mobility issue.

Compact cottage with some steep steps and tricky surfaces for those a little less than youthful, warms up quickly and has a lovely deep bath. Basic facilities, two chip shops, spar and pubs within easy reach. If you have a dog that can jump 3ft the garden is not secure and while we were there the garden was visited by 4 different cats!

Everything was just as we had hoped. Warm, thankfully as it was March. Furniture was comfortable so was bed. The outside space was secure for the dog. Location perfect. Bus stop opposite the cottage and close to shop. Pub 200 yards up the road sold good food and was welcoming.

Went for a short break and had a fantastic stay. The cottage was lovely; very homely! The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the bath was heavenly! Due to daily excursions we ate out for the majority of meals but found the kitchen well equipped. The entrance to the driveway proved a little difficult to navigate, due to the steep slope and the faRead morect that our car was quite low to the ground, but we managed to find the best angle of approach after the second attempt! Would definitely book again. Hide

Generally good although the property felt damp when we arrived but improved with the heating on and windows opened to air the place. Well equipped kitchen although we didn't cook any meals.

Good location for getting into Weymouth and neighbouring towns and villages and with 3 pubs serving food within 10 mins walk. Hide
