Description

Charming character cottage in a peaceful location, within easy reach of many pretty towns and villages. Boasting a beautiful village setting and wood burner, it’s the ideal spot for a family holiday.

Set in the heart of the pretty rural village of Stoke Abbott, this chocolate box cottage is ideally situated for taking in the local sights, with Pilsdon Pen, Ham Hill and The Cerne Abbas Giant all within easy reach. Set beneath Lewesdon Hill there are many scenic walking and cycling routes that run directly from the property, taking in the breath-taking views in this picturesque area. Ideally placed for touring Dorset and Somerset there are a selection of nearby towns to explore, such as Beaminster, Bridport with its popular vintage shops and Yeovil ideal for an afternoon spent browsing or sampling the cafe culture. Visit the Jurassic Coast beaches at Lyme Regis, West Bay and Charmouth that are great for a day out fossil hunting.

Heading into the cottage from the lane, you are met by a welcoming lounge, which has a wood burner, TV and DVD, making it the perfect spot for relaxing after a country walk. Moving on from here is the open-plan kitchen/diner, which has an AGA. This charming room is the ideal spot for relaxed family meals and is well-equipped with an electric oven and hob, fridge, dishwasher and washing machine. A useful utility room houses a microwave and freezer. Heading back into the lounge, the cottage style stairs take you up to the first floor, which offers one light and airy double bedroom that overlooks the countryside, a compact twin room (suitable for children) and a single room. Along the corridor is the bathroom, which has a shower over the bath and WC.

Venturing outside from the rear door, a few steps lead you to a gate and into the pretty south facing walled garden, with lawn, patio, garden furniture and BBQ. This rustic setting is further enhanced by beautiful views over surrounding countryside. Heading back towards the front of the property you will find ample roadside parking, subject to availability.

Dogs are charged at £20 each per full or part week.
