See the very best of Dorset’s rural and coastal beauty when staying at this delightfully designed, two-bedroom property in the heart of an area of outstanding natural beauty. Surrounded by greenery, unwinding here is made easy, and couples or small families who love walking will appreciate the tranquil footpaths from the doorstep. The pretty town of Beaminster (2.5 miles) offers plenty of local history, picturesque gardens and an excellent foodie scene, while slightly further away in Symondsbury (5.5 miles), Colmers Hill awaits with stunning views at its summit. For a day on the coast, drive just 8 miles to uncover the seaside glory of West Bay, which sits on the world-famous Jurassic Coast. Spend days on the beach hunting for fossils, playing in the shallows and tucking into fish and chips. Discover the scenic South West Coast Path here and enjoy clifftop rambles to Seatown in one direction and Burton Bradstock in the other.

This attractive property is set out over one floor with steps leading up to the entrance. Inside, a vaulted ceiling, pleasant furnishings, and plenty of natural light create a welcoming atmosphere. The open-plan living area is the main hub of the house and features a beautiful, long, L-shaped kitchen kitted out with all you need to make meal prep a breeze, as well as a chic dining table with bench seating for four people. Savour a delicious family meal then move into the lounge, where you can sink into the stylish, sumptuous sofa and enjoy a film on the Smart TV. When day turns to night, head out of the living space and find two immaculate bedrooms, one with a king-size bed, the other with twin beds. Both bedrooms boast large patio doors to the garden and make use of a well-appointed family bathroom.

Outside, enjoy an al fresco breakfast on the furnished patio beside the split-level, enclosed garden. Let little ones play on the lawn as you enjoy an evening tipple into the night. Guests can also benefit from a private, off-road parking area for two cars which is shared with the neighbouring property and features an EV charging point.
