Celebrate a special occasion in style at this gorgeous period home in Powerstock. Sleeping six people across four bedrooms and welcoming one canine companion, it’s ideal for families or groups of friends who are in search of a grand, historic retreat to call home while they explore the West Dorset coast with their pup by their side. Enjoy walkies along the East Pier in Bridport, and in the evening, come home to your pretty patio to host an al fresco dinner while your pup plays in the enclosed garden.

Step inside this historic retreat where an inviting hallway leads you to a beautifully styled TV room with timeless furnishings and a charming ornamental fireplace. Continue to the bright, spacious lounge and take a moment to admire the crackling open fire before you head to the chic, galley-style kitchen area to whip up some dinner. Get the whole gang together to eat in the elegant dining hall, where an inglenook open fire, original beams and a long wooden table create a warm, historic atmosphere. Alternatively, open up the French doors and host a fun al fresco feast in the garden (please supervise any children and your dog around the unenclosed pond). After dinner, cosy up by the glow of the open fire in the lounge while your pup snoozes at your feet. At the end of the day, you’ll find a king-size bedroom downstairs and three beautiful king-size bedrooms upstairs – one with a zip-and-link bed and an en-suite bathroom with a shower over the bath, and two more with their own en-suite shower rooms. Completing the layout, you’ll find a smart shower room.

Head to the small beach at East Beach (6 miles), which is dog friendly all year round, or make your way into Bridport (3.5 miles) to check out the lively Saturday market.

Absolutely beautiful property, amazingly interesting, spacious and comfortable, the garden is gorgeous. We had a thoroughly relaxing and happy time in Knapp House and will return when we can. Bonus is the pub dead opposite, Martin and Agi are perfect hosts and the food is fantastic.
