This large cottage in a quiet Dorset village is an ideal place for families to spend quality time together and in a good central location allowing easy access to the whole of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Whisk your favourite people away for the holiday of a lifetime at this eight-person cottage in the bucolic village of Uploders. A four-bedroom retreat, you can spend your days relaxing in the outside hot tub, playing fetch with Fido on the spacious lawn and tearing through jaw-dropping country and coast. Able to enjoy unfettered access to Dorset’s unique landscapes and only a stone’s throw from local amenities (the local dog-friendly pub is only 200m away), this cottage is sure to win the gold paward for the ultimate family getaway.

A great place for your friends, family and four-legged friend to gather throughout the day, the ground floor’s open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner oozes with homely appeal. Familiarise yourself with the kitchen and its many utensils before preparing a family feast. We’re sure your loyal canine chum will be on paw to help out with any taste-testing requirements, and there is a lovely dining area to enjoy once the meal has been approved! Drenched in sunshine in the summer months thanks to the French doors, the lounge area transforms into the cosiest of cocoons in winter with the wood burner roaring away. And, providing even more choice, there is a second living area too, complete with comfy sofas. Once tiredness starts to kick in and the dog is happily snoozing in front of the embers, there are four bedrooms ready and waiting for blissful night’s sleep.

Leading out from the French doors, the split-level garden beckons for leisurely mornings and lazy afternoons. Rotate between the patio, the luxurious seven-seater hot tub (available for booking with advance notice) and the tiered garden and enjoy your private escape. At the top of the steep garden, there is another dining area, affording breathtaking views. To stock up on food and doggy treats, Bridport is 3.5 miles away.

Like staying as a house-guest in a rather lovely - and well-loved - home. Very accurate description and photos. More solicitous care could not be hoped for, even down to a phone-call after check-in to confirm everything was going well. Absolutely gorgeous part of the country with so much to see and do within easy reach. Highly recommended.

A wonderful well furnished and equipped cottage with beautiful patio and terraced rear garden with hot tub. Prepared for our arrival to a very high standard. Well situated being 100 metres to a friendly pub which serves excellent food with Weymouth in close proximity to the east and the Jurassic coast of Charmouth & Lyme Regis not far to the west.
