This delightful cottage, one of four converted from a barn, sits in the pretty village of Askerswell at the heart of the Dorset AONB, close to the coast and within a short distance of Askerswell Down, ideal for wonderful walks with your canine chum. Sleeping four guests across two bedrooms and with one four-legged friend welcome, it is perfect for a peaceful family break.

This immaculate property is light and welcoming, with traditional features including exposed beams complemented by fresh and stylish furniture. The open-plan living area has smart kitchen next to the cosy lounge/dining room. Decorated in soft, contemporary tones with warm, colourful sofas, the lounge is perfect for relaxing in front of a film with Fido at your feet. The pretty dining table sits by a stable door leading out into the garden so your four-pawed pal can amble in and out. Upstairs the two beautiful bedrooms are decorated in soft blues and whites for a restful night’s sleep. Outside, the expanse of lawn is a doggy delight, perfect for games of fetch or snuffing about while you relax in the sun with a drink and take in the uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside.

The stunning Dorset Coast is just a half hour drive away. Head to famous Chesil beach (13 miles) or East Cliff beach near bustling Lyme Regis (14 miles) for a day of fun and frolics on the sand with your four-footed friend. Enjoy coastal walks along the beautiful South West Coast path or take a drive along the Dorset Heritage Coast to the Isle of Portland and visit the famous Portland Bill Lighthouse (22.5 miles).

Very well equipped cottage in a picturesque part of Dorset. Good base to explore the coast and surrounding countryside. Can recommend the Spyway Inn in Askerswell and The New Inn at Shipton Gorge for good pub food.

The cottage was very comfortable, well-equipped and had everything we needed. The large garden, just across the road, was a lovely place to relax. The cottage was spotlessly clean. The Spyway Inn, about 10-15 minutes walk away, did great food and had a lovely garden with open views.

An excellent cosy cottage which we have used several times. Parking is over the road with plenty of space shared with two other cottages. There is also a garden area for this cottages use which is quite big and not shared.

Lovely well equipped cottage. Easy to get to lots of interesting places. The village is very quiet. The owners and the housekeeper kept in regular touch by text to ensure we were happy. Limited walking direct from the village as the public footpaths are very overgrown so the dog was not happy.
