Property code: OC-MANJE

This cottage is set within an impressive 5 acres of farmland, where guests are invited to enjoy the glorious open space at their leisure. In the heart of the rolling, picturesque Dorset countryside, this is the perfect spot for guests looking for a relaxing break in peaceful surroundings. Dog walkers will delight in the array of walks from the property that lead through a picture-postcard landscape.

With exposed beams and plush, lavish seating, the lounge offers you an opportunity to relax in front of the Smart TV or watch a late-night movie - ideal for those seeking a romantic break on their own. If you're not, however, there is a convenient sofa bed which can be made up to sleep either an additional adult or up to two children. The dining area, adjacent to a contemproary kitchen is ideal for those seeking to prepare an intimate meal for two.

Upstairs, you will find a welcoming, spacious, super king-size bedroom leading out to the balcony.

The amazing Chesil Beach, which stretches an astounding 17 miles along the south coast, has several areas where dogs are freely permitted in the summer (the whole beach is dog friendly between October and Easter) and is a wonderful natural resource for the whole family to explore and play. Among other notable places you are close to, are Cerne Abbas (7 miles) with its famous giant carved into the chalk hillside, the Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens and Abbotsbury Swannery (16 miles) and the Weymouth Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary (19 miles).

Jemma's cottage was perfect for our long weekend with stunning views, well equipped and very comfortable. The Acorn and Greyhound pubs provided great lunches in a dog friendly setting, although negotiating the road closures was a little tricky

A wonderfully comfortable cottage in the most glorious surroundings. The huge fabulous garden was especially enjoyed by us and our dog, Bonny. The location of Frome St Quintin is pretty much equidistant between Yeovil and Dorchester for shopping, and it has easy access to the south coast.
