About this property

Escape to the Dorset countryside with a stay in this idyllic chocolate box cottage for two. The perfect blend of old and new, this period property has been sympathetically updated to offer a chic kitchen and stylish bathroom while retaining charming, exposed beams and cottage windows. Spend your days exploring the surrounding countryside and coastline with your canine companions before returning for an al fresco meal in the enclosed courtyard garden or a cosy night in front of the TV.

Warm and welcoming, this charming cottage is the perfect venue for romantic getaways for two. Rustle up delicious meals in the stylish modern kitchen, with its state-of-the-art units, dining table and door opening onto the patio - perfect for pooches.
