Based in the charming village of Chideock, Dorset, this delightful cottage offers a serene retreat for up to four guests. Nestled in a row of cottages on a quiet no-through lane, the property is ideal for those seeking tranquillity. At the end of the lane, a bridleway leads to the picturesque pebble and shingle beach at Seatown, which is favored by fossil collectors, fishermen, and families. The village itself is characterized by its hilly terrain and is surrounded by breathtaking unspoilt countryside within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Just a short drive away, West Bay awaits, presenting a lively seaside resort known as the golden gateway to the Jurassic Coast, making it an excellent location for exploration.
Upon entering the cottage, guests are welcomed by a convenient entrance hall, perfect for leaving coats and bags. The spacious lounge features exposed beams, antique furniture, and comfortable seating, creating a cozy atmosphere for relaxation. Guests can enjoy curling up with a good book on the window seat or warming up beside the wood burner while watching their favorite shows on the Smart TV. This homely space encourages leisurely days spent indoors, making it a perfect retreat after a day of coastal adventures.
The traditional farmhouse-style kitchen/dining room is a highlight of the cottage, showcasing stone flooring, a Belfast sink, bespoke units, and oak worktops. It is well-equipped for preparing delicious family meals, including essential appliances such as an electric oven and hob, fridge with an ice compartment, microwave, and dishwasher. A washing machine is also available for added convenience. The kitchen area opens onto the garden, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor living, especially during the warmer months.
