Situated close to a quaint village green this beautiful Grade II listed thatched cottage is full of character and offers cosy accommodation for a family looking to explore Dorset’s Jurassic Coast.
Hidden down an unmade track in the quintessential Dorset village of Winfrith Newburgh, this picturesque country cottage is perfectly located for peace and tranquillity. With an array of stunning beaches within just 5 miles from your front door -- including the famous natural arch at Durdle Door (4 miles) -- water-loving families and their coastal canine companions will have a ball here. The property sleeps six across three light-filled bedrooms, ensuring there is plenty of space for everyone to unwind after a busy day exploring.
The property retains many original features to give a real country charm throughout, from the exposed beams to the traditional bread oven in an inglenook. Cosy up in the welcoming lounge beside the wood burner on cold nights, warming you through after a day of sea splashing. There’s even underfloor heating in the kitchen/diner, which your four-pawed friends are sure to appreciate! Upstairs you’ll find the property’s inviting bedrooms: two doubles with beamed ceilings and a bunk bedroom with restricted headroom on the top bunk. Please note that there are low ceilings and doorways throughout the first floor. Head outside and relax in the large garden, dining alfresco while Fido and Rover play on the extensive lawn. Meanwhile, kids and big kids alike will love the thatched games room, while little ones will enjoy discovering the Wendy house.
Spend time exploring Dorset’s stunning Jurassic Coast, which lies just 3 miles from the property. As well as Durdle Door, the glorious beaches of Ringstead Bay (7 miles) and Lulworth Cove (5 miles) are well-worth a visit with your hound. Heading inland, discover a huge variety of attractions studded in the countryside. Visit the castles at Lulworth (7 miles) and Corfe (14 miles) or visit Thomas Hardy’s birthplace in nearby Higher Bockhampton (11 miles).
