Property code: OC-89808

A character-filled countryside property with a picket gate set in the vibrant emerald hills in Dorset, this rustical rural getaway is perfect for families or groups of friends with a couple of waggy-tailed pals exploring the Jurassic Coast. Scootch in for a photo with your furry family members atop Colmer’s Hill, then stretch out weary paws in front of the crackling wood burner.

This charming country home boats traditional exposed brickwork, an ornate fireplace, and richly saturated tones throughout. Kick off those muddy hiking boots at the door, then step through the stable door into the warmth of the kitchen/diner. Cook up a storm perched at the kitchen island and watch as Fido helps tend to the stove, then pour some drinks and gather the pack around the dining table for a well-earned post-adventure feast. Retreat to the vibrant lounge and curl up on the sofa with a sweet treat and settle in for a movie on the Smart TV. Head upstairs and rest up in the well-presented bedrooms consisting of an airy double and a flexible super-king overlooking Colmer’s Hill. There is also a bright family bathroom with statement tiling on the first floor. Early risers can bask in the sun with a coffee on the front terrace after morning walkies or get dinner sizzling on the charcoal BBQ while your playful pup bounds in the lush garden.

Stroll through Bridport where the doggy-loving locals leave bowls of water outside shop fronts and many of the cafes warmly welcome four-legged customers, within 2 miles. Venture to West Port and amble along the golden stretch of beach backed by dramatic cliffs, an outstanding location for a scenic scamper, 4 miles. Pack the camera and strap in for a magical road trip along the Jurassic Coast, within 4 miles.

Nicely furnished cottage in a lovely peaceful location but close to Symondsbury Estate with their good restaurant and deli. Very comfy beds and pillows and a lovely welcome hamper.

We enjoyed the best UK holiday weve ever had - quirky little cottage full of character. We chose Dorset with the intention of exploring the coast but barely left Symondsbury Estate! Pure tranquility in the most idyllic location; topped with amazing food and the friendliest of communities. Our holiday was perfect in every way and we cant thank everyRead moreone enough. Hide
