Eight Maids a Milking

• 2 guests

• 1 bedrooms

Chilcombe, Bridport

One of ten cosy and comfortable self-catered cottages that offer unparalleled access to the often-overlooked jewel of Dorset's Jurassic coast, this one-bedroom cottage is set within 20 acres of unspoiled countryside, evoking a feeling of 19th-century rural life that featured so prominently in Thomas Hardy's famous novels. Step inside this former farm building, and you'll be greeted by an elegantly simple interior, with a cosy seating area set around a coal-effect electric fireplace, a dining area behind, and the kitchen disappearing around the corner.

Squirrel Nutkin

Chilcombe, Bridport

Ground yourself in the extraordinary landscapes of the West Dorset countryside and the Jurassic Coast with a stay at this cottage idyll perched just a short drive from the beach. Squirreled away on a postcard-pretty farmland estate, the family owners have lovingly reimagined the farm dwellings into an intimate collection of nine holiday cottages.

The Rambler's Retreat

Corscombe, Dorchester

Located in the unspoilt hamlet of Benville (as once described by Thomas Hardy), this renovated cottage is ideally placed for a family retreat to West Dorset. Your host provides a starter pack with essentials like tea, coffee and biscuits, but if you need to stock up on extra bits, the village of Evershot also lies just two miles away.
