Enjoy the simple pleasures in life from this charming semi-detached cottage set in a courtyard in a delightful Dorset village, where creative workshops and quaint tea rooms are the order of the day. With two bedrooms, the property is well-suited to couples or a small family, and two dogs are welcome along for the ride. Head off on foot – or paw – to explore the many routes winding through the spectacular Dorset countryside that leads directly from your door.
Inside, the property is decorated in cool, muted tones, giving an air of calm and relaxation. Exposed wooden beams and a stone hearth add character to the cosy lounge, and your little balls of fluff can curl up on the rug in front of the wood burner while you catch up with your favourite TV shows. Prepare homecooked suppers in the contemporary kitchen and, when your day is done, trudge upstairs to the spacious super king-size bedroom or comfortable en-suite double room. Outside, unwind with a glass of wine in the compact courtyard gardens while watching the world go by – and perhaps slip your furry friends a biscuit treat or two for good behaviour.
From the village, a half-mile walk up Colmers Hill will reward you with panoramic views of the rolling hills and Dorset coast. Get an even closer view of the English Channel exploring the dramatic scenery of the Jurassic Coast, which has several pet-friendly beaches, including Eype (2 miles) and Cogden (6 miles). The vibrant market town of Bridport (2 miles) has a good selection of dog-friendly pubs and restaurants, while to the south is Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens (11 miles), where dogs on leads can sniff out the colourful blooms.
