Property code: OC-DC114

Welcome to this chocolate box thatched cottage with its own private garden, nestled in the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Tailor-made for families and couples with furry companions, rustic charm meets contemporary comfort in this inviting home away from home.

Step into the lounge/diner and unwind in front of the Smart TV with Rover at your feet. The dining table provides ample space to savour leisurely meals while planning your upcoming adventures. Beyond, you’ll find the contemporary kitchen, where you can prepare your favourite dishes while gazing out at the garden. Climb the steep stairs to the first floor, where three inviting bedrooms await. The master bedroom boasts a king-size bed and is bathed in natural light thanks to its dual-aspect windows. Two additional bedrooms feature a small double bed and a single bed. Completing the first floor is the family bathroom. To the rear of the cottage, you’ll discover the enclosed garden with a table and chairs. Start your day on the patio with a warm mug of coffee while Fido explores his new surroundings.

Beyond the cottage, a bridleway beckons you down to the beach, cliffs, and the welcoming village pub at Seatown, less than a mile away. Though there is a season dog restriction in place, there are wonderful cliff-top walks to enjoy that will surely get tails wagging. If you’re a fan of the TV series "Broadchurch," you’ll be delighted to visit the popular seaside resort of West Bay (4 miles), known for its bustling harbour and expansive beach where your hound is free to run and play year-round in the East Cliff area. Charmouth (5 miles) offers a sought-after fossil-hunting beach where you can rent hammers and sniff out some history. Continue your journey westward to Lyme Regis (7.5 miles), a charming seaside town with a variety of independent shops and pup-positive pubs and cafes.

Lovely cosy and warm cottage in a good location. Nice garden but not totally dog secure for our Retriever. Parking bit difficult. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk - Thank you for your feedback. We can confirm this garden is fully enclosed as shown in the photographs.

This is a lovely character cottage, tastefully decorated and with a well kept, practical garden for a young family and a playing field and playground right next door. It is a 15 minute walk to Seatown, with a glorious shingle beach, a pizza place and a great dining pub. The nearby Spar stocks all the essentials. The kitchen is well equipped.

Meadow Cottage felt like home very quickly, and we looked forward to getting back there after some wonderful coastal hikes. The house and garden are beautiful, and the little park next door was useful for the early morning dog routine. There are three friendly pubs a walk away for dinner, so we took a welcome break from cooking. Loved it.

Outstanding cosy little cottage with a lovely garden. Location was ideal for us with the playing field adjacent for the kids and we were able to walk to Seatown for pizza on the beach in the evening.

Lovely little cottage with a lot of character. We really enjoyed the stay as a family of 5 with a toddler. The kitchen has all the necessities to cook a family dinner. We needed to duck at some of the doors even at 1.8m height. The garden is well secured and was a real treat for our dog. The leisure field next door is the in official dog park whichRead more is great. The beach and town are only a short foot walk away. Curbside parking right in front is a bit tight. Hide

We had a great stay at Meadow cottage. Cosy house, comfortable sofas. We enjoyed the garden, we were lucky that the weather was beautiful. Walking distance from the sea. stunning scenery. Close to places like Charmouth, Lyme Regis and the nice village of Bridport. Great place to start exploring the Jurassic Coast.
