Honeypot Cottage

About this property

Burton Bradstock 1.4 miles. Nestled in the quaint village of Shipton Gorge near the charming Burton Bradstock on Dorset’s coast is Honeypot Cottage. This idyllic, dog-friendly cottage benefits from a wonderful, terraced garden with garden furniture and spectacular views over the tranquil countryside, as well as three beautifully-presented bedrooms welcoming six guests; perfect for families or friends looking to explore the wonders laced along Dorset’s coast. Cross the threshold and head straight into the sitting room where you can warm your aching feet, after a day of exploring, by the warmth of the crackling woodburning stove while the Smart TV plays a family favourite. Later, head into the fully-equipped kitchen/diner to help the designated chef of the group whip up a tasty meal for the whole group; dine together at the spacious table or if the sun is shining step outside to indulge in an alfresco affair. After watching the sun disappear behind the rolling countryside, head inside and up the stairs to wash off the day’s adventure in the sleek bathroom before sloping off to sleep in either of the king-size bedrooms, there is also a fun bunk room ideal for children. If you can tear yourself away from your new home-from-home, treat your loved ones to a delicious meal and a much-needed break from the kitchen at The New Inn while your beloved canine companion lays at your feet. Alternatively, venture to Burton Bradstock where you can pick up essentials at local stores before spending a full day upon the pebbled shores of Hive Beach, marvel at the impressive views across the channel while the kids splash around in the sea and your dog roams freely. Follow the coast along to find the famous Chesil Beach which connects Portland to the mainland; the thrill seekers among you can take to the water on stand-up paddle boards, kayaks or surfboards. Explore Weymouth where you can spend the day at the SEA LIFE, the historic Sandsfoot castle or venture to the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage site where you can walk over millions of years of evolutionary history in Lyme Regis at the fossil beach or explore countless museums showcasing fossils. Make unforgettable memories at Honeypot Cottage.

Located on the beautiful Jurassic Coast of Dorset, this lovely village is nestled in Bride Valley and framed by the Bride River. The South West Coastal Path passes right by the charming seaside town of Burton Bradstock, making it an ideal location for a relaxing holiday on England's sunny south coast. Hive Beach, with its sparkling waters and magnificent cliffs as a backdrop, is a wonderful place to spend the summer days; the village also features two pubs, a shop, and a Post Office; and there is a lovely café where you can sit and relax. The Spring Tide Festival is held there once a year, so you may want to plan your holiday around it. The beautiful coastal resort of Weymouth is within driving distance and makes for a wonderful day trip, but there are many other places of interest and exciting activities to partake in as well. You may also venture inland to Dorchester and Yeovil, two towns renowned for their excellent shops, buildings, and restaurants.
