About this property
Magnolia is a charming thatch and stone cottage nestled within East Farm at Osmington and dates back to the 17th century. Osmington is a quintessential Dorset village with many historic thatch properties, glorious countryside and is close to the sea.
The bright and clean decor gives Magnolia cottage a cosy feel. The open plan living space with kitchen, dining and lounge areas lends itself perfectly to socialising and relaxing during your stay. Two comfortable bedrooms will give you a good night’s sleep. Outside there is a small courtyard patio area with seating to enjoy an evening glass of wine.
Visit the nearby Craig’s Farm Dairy Tea Room for breakfast and to buy fresh produce from the farm shop. A short walk leads to the Dorset Coastal path where you can enjoy the spectacular views of the Dorset countryside and coastline. Stroll to the beautiful coastal hamlet of Osmington Mills and the fabulous Smugglers Inn. Walk the Old Roman Road or climb the hill to see Osmington White Horse built for King George III.
The bustling seaside town of Weymouth is just a few miles away with a wealth of bars, restaurants, shops, amusements and activities. Famous for a three mile stretch of idyllic sandy beach which hosts a range of traditional seaside entertainment during the summer months and great for wintery strolls out of peak season. Magnolia is a delightful cottage and a perfect holiday base to explore Dorset’s wonderful coast and countryside.
Osmington village, is situated on the Jurassic coastline of Dorset, just 6 miles from Weymouth wher you will find an glorious beach and historic harbour and just 11 miles from Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Home to the famous Chalk hillside carving of George III on horseback, cut into the hillside to commemorate the Royal visits to Weymouth, this landmark can be seen from miles away. It is also the place that John Constable spent his honeymoon in 1816 and where he completed his painting of Weymouth Bay that now hangs in the National Gallery. The South West Coastal path runs through Osmington Mills, a tiny hamlet on the edge of Osmington. Here many walkers start their coast path walks at the Smugglers inn, where reputedly there are historic connections to smuggling. Be sure to visit to find out all the stories. A short drive will see you reach a local convenience store at Preston. Weymouth offers a larger variety of shopping, eating and entertainment choices.

The beds were comfy and the kitchen was wet equipped. Unfortunately, the cleaning wasn't the best and it could do with a proper deep clean rather than the surface type clean that was done for our arrival. The kettle had an enormous amount of limescale build up and desperately needs cleaning. The electric fire didn't work which would have helped keep the downstairs warm as it got quite chilly of an evening. The parking space is very small, you have to unload people and things before you park as there's no room to get out, we do have a big vehicle though. The neighbours didn't like us doing this and commented to us which made us feel like we were upsetting them or doing something we shouldn't. We also would have appreciated being told before booking that there was cctv, we noticed a camera half way through our stay. Generally it was really nice although slightly let down by a few things that could easily be resolved with a little care.
