This spacious Victorian cottage offers a good degree of seclusion. Set within a working farm, it is the perfect spot for walkers and nature lovers alike. The historic town of Dorchester is an short drive away and offers a great selection of shops, pubs and attractions. Perhaps while away take some time with a visit to the county museum, or try out one of the many eateries. The cottage is the ideal base for those that want to explore West Dorset and beyond, with an abundance of pretty towns and villages all being accessible from here, as well as the stunning Jurassic coast where you can fossil hunt or just relax on the beach.

From the parking area a sliding door brings you into the cottage. On entering the property, you are met by a spacious sun room which doubles up as a dining room and leads into a light and airy kitchen. The kitchen is well-equipped with an electric oven and hob, espresso machine, fridge, washing machine and microwave. A chest freezer is located in the utility cupboard off of the sun room. Adjacent to the kitchen is the bathroom, with shower over bath and WC. Opposite is the inviting lounge which has a Smart TV and DVD, making it the perfect place to unwind after a day spent exploring. Just next door is a spacious second dining room overlooking the fields. Rising from an inner hallway is the staircase, which gives access to a double bedroom with stunning views and a twin bedroom also overlooking the pastureland surrounding the cottage.

Heading outside you will find an enclosed lawn with view and garden furniture. Located a short hop from the kitchen, it’s the perfect spot for enjoying a meal outdoors. Off-road parking for two cars can be found adjacent to the property.

The cottage was thoughtfully equipt with tasteful furniture, fab tourist information and a homely feel. Couldn't have been in a better location with stunning views and some very friendly cows; it truly was far from the madding crowd! We can't thank you enough for a truly lovely holiday!

Outstanding home. The lovely owners even popped over with 6 eggs from their own chickens next door. Beautiful views, quiet and peaceful. Just need an EV charger and it's a 6 out of 5! Paul and Jude

Comfortable and restful, with the calm farmland scenery on three sides and the distant hills to the south. All the facilities were fine; everything worked. We enjoyed our week there despite the weather and are already thinking about returning, as there is much more to see in Dorset.

A lovely, spacious cottage in a really peaceful location. Very well equipped and cosy. Superb views over fields and hills. Convenient location for loads of interesting places - particular favourites were Abbotsbury Sub Tropical Gardens and Lyme Regis. Great meal at the Three Horseshoes in Burton Bradstock.
