Step inside this charming cottage nestled in the Chilcombe, on the outskirts of Dorset’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With a picturesque lake and the Jurassic Coast, a short distance at your fingertips, this home nestled in a farm of holiday cottages feels like an idyllic rural getaway.

Here, you’ll find a characterful flint exterior with a traditional beamed interior alongside a host of comforting furnishings. The home has a dynamic open-plan living space that’s perfect for socialising and relaxing together. After preparing a delicious dinner with the produce you picked up from the local farm shop, settle in at the wooden dining table, where you can savour your culinary achievements. If the weather is on your side, pop a bottle of sparkling and sip it from your balcony overlooking the landscape, or cosy up in the living room to enjoy a film – perfect for colder nights. 

Stepping outside, you'll find a gorgeous garden and lake as well as a converted games barn – play a few rounds of pool with your loved ones or set about a family tournament of ping pong with the other guests on the farm. When you’re not making the most of the garden, there’s plenty to see nearby – the scenic town of Bridport is nearby and has a host of boutique shops, tea rooms and excellent pubs. Spend a day teeing off one of the local golf courses or enjoy a day on the sands of one of the local beaches, the coast is a ten-minute drive.

A Dorset Dream

Laptop Friendly Workspace

Squirreled away within twenty acres of bucolic West Dorset meadows and farmlands, this charming home belonging to an intimate collection of holiday cottages is the countryside hideaway you've been chasing.

A favourite with guests of all generations, there's plenty to keep you busy down on this farm. Ramble through the surrounding woodlands and meadows. Let little ones burn off some energy in the shared gardens with a playground and trampoline (there's a games room and skittle alley, too, if the weather misbehaves). Or, enjoy a pootle on the pond with the rowing boats and say hello to the resident ducks.

When tummies start to rumble, swing by the on-site farm shop to pick up supplies to rustle up back at home. There's everything you need to prepare meals in the country-style kitchen with a cosy dining area. And outside, the sunny private terrace commanding spectacular views across the Bride Valley is prime for afternoon teas and barbecues on long summer nights. Fancy keeping things simple? Then jump in the car bound for your nearest shores, Hive Beach, with its much-loved café dishing up some of the freshest seafood imaginable for lunch (a short drive away). And even closer, the village pub for hearty grub and a warm welcome, is a mere stumble away.

Miss Puddle-Duck

Uncover the wild beauty of West Dorset at this postcard-pretty idyll, set within twenty acres of bucolic countryside and farmlands on an intimate holiday cottage estate.

Blaze a trail along the Jurassic Coast and discover sweeping golden beaches, grand historic houses, cobblestone market towns, and charming country pubs, all just a short drive away.  

Back home, the family owners of the farm have lovingly restored these former farm dwellings into a collection of nine holiday cottages oozing country charm. But the impressive on-site facilities with something for everyone, young and old, is the clincher for us. Enjoy a pootle on the pond with the rowing boats and bid the resident ducks a good day. Amble through the surrounding woodlands and meadows. Or up the ante with a round of tennis on the shared court. Meanwhile, kids (and big kids) will love the shared playground and trampoline, and there’s a games room and a skittle alley, too, if the weather misbehaves.

When tummies start to rumble, swing by the on-site farm shop stocked with fresh local produce to pick up supplies. Then get together for an evening barbecue on your private, west-facing terrace with views of the valleys and drink up that evening sun.

Shared Dryer

Set within 20 acres of unspoilt Dorset countryside, this converted farm building is the perfect rural retreat. Inside, it’s cosy and charming – we loved the soft natural colour scheme and sumptuous furnishings that guarantee relaxation. Begin your mornings at the dining table with a cooked breakfast before finishing the last of a pot of tea on your private balcony. When the sun is shining, wander around the grounds – follow the Woodland Nature Trail through open fields or enjoy a moment of stillness by the lake. Should rain threaten, head to the games room for a round of table tennis. 

You’ll find your home a ten-minute drive from the surf-lashed Hive Beach. Look for fossils as you pick your way across the sand then enjoy a brisk paddle in the water. In the late afternoon, appease grumbling tummies with some proper pub grub at The Three Horseshoes in Burton Bradstock – it’s only 3.5 miles away. 

Sweet Pea & Ivy

Journey through the wilds of the West Dorset countryside and the Jurassic Coast bound for this charming cottage, set within the grounds of an exclusive farm estate. With some of the region's most sought-after towns, villages, and beaches (Hive beach and café get our vote) just a short drive away, there's something to satisfy everyone's wanderlust here. Though if you're more of a homebird, there's plenty to keep you entertained back at the cottage.

Set on postcard-pretty farm grounds, this place brings all the countryside feels you're chasing. Enjoy a pootle on the pond with the rowing boats and bid the resident ducks a good day. Amble through the surrounding woodlands and meadows. Or let little ones burn off some energy in the shared gardens with a playground and trampoline (there's a game room and skittle alley, too, if the weather doesn't buck up), all under your watchful gaze from the shared gardens.

When it's time to put your feet up at home, you can't help but be charmed by this dinky but perfectly formed cottage. There's a cosy sitting area ready for family film nights and board game marathons. And outside, a sunny terrace with magnificent views across the Bride Valley for afternoon tea and barbecues on long summer nights.

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. Spend your days voyaging through the twenty acres of bucolic country grounds – there’s rowing boats and fishing on the lakes, woodland and meadow walks on your doorstep, and a playground (and a games room and skittle alley, if the weather misbehaves). And, of course, there’s the mighty Jurassic Coast. Pack up your bucket and spades for seaside days down at Hive Beach – its sandy, golden shores, and cafe for lashings of ice cream is an afternoon well spent.

When tummies start to rumble, head back home to your cosy cottage to rustle up a bite to eat in the well-equipped country-style kitchen. You can always swing by the on-site farm shop to pick up some fresh local produce. Or get together for long summer evening barbecues on your west-facing private terrace – the views of the surrounding meadows are outstanding.

Squirrel Nutkin

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. Climb a single step up to the bedroom and gaze across Bride Valley to the coast.

Follow your nose towards the sea, and you'll encounter plenty of picturesque beaches within a short drive, including Hive Beach and its popular cafe, where you can sip a post-beach-stroll coffee or tuck into a mouthwatering seasonal menu looking out over Lyme Bay and Chesil Beach. Continue east, and you'll find yourself in the pretty seaside resort of Lyme Regis, while the Blue Flag beaches of Weymouth and the iconic Durdle Door are in the opposite direction.

Closer to home, there are woodland walks and free fishing on the boating lake, while horse riding and local gold courses are within easy reach. If the weather isn't up to much, then there's a well-equipped games room that will keep you entertained on even the rainiest of afternoons. Finally, an extensive library of books and DVDs means you can relax in the comfort of your own cottage.

Eight Maids a Milking

Fireplace

Bike Shed

This beautifully converted barn is an inviting home-from-home close to Bridport. You’ll be close to all of Dorset’s gems, including the Jurassic Coast – West Bay is a short drive away. When you’re not hiking along the cliffs or swimming in the shallows, you’ll have a delightful space to relax in. Outside is a pretty patio garden filled with plants, an excellent spot for a sundowner, while inside, you can look forward to high ceilings and period features. We love the wood-burning stove in the open-plan living space. 


Jurassic Jewel

Underfloor Heating

This detached stone barn conversion is surrounded by the owner's stunning grounds. The private patio has views of the countryside, while inside, there’s a blend of traditional features and modern comforts. We love the cosy sitting room with its log burner and there’s a well-appointed kitchen too. Located in the picturesque village of Long Bredy, you’ll find a range of attractions in the area including Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, an 18th-century garden with rare plants within a fifteen-minute drive. Or, for a day at the beach, explore the Jurassic Coast.

Pets

Effortlessly blending contemporary with traditional, this Grade II listed cottage in the village of Burton Bradstock is perfect for a tranquil stay. We love the exposed beams and cosy fireplace and the enclosed garden is a bonus – ideal for those with a four-legged friend in tow. With a couple of pubs in the village, dining out is always on the menu, or you can take a short walk across the fields to Hive beach. After a stroll on the sand, the cafe is just the spot for a little sustenance. 

Sunlight Cottage

This traditional thatched cottage is located in the picturesque village of Burton Bradstock. From here, you can savour fresh sea air and England’s natural beauty while exploring the Jurassic Coast. It’s also possible to walk to the nearest pub and shop, while wonderful spots like Weymouth and Dorchester are just a short drive away. Private parking is available and there’s a sweet garden for warm weather days. Inside, the rooms are perfect for families with plenty of space to stretch out and socialise. 

Sea Moon 

Heated Towel Rail

Nestled in the village of Burton Bradstock, yet close to the coast, this cosy cottage serves up the best of both worlds. Full of traditional charm, it’s easy to relax here – just mind your head on those beautiful old beams. Summer months will be well spent catching some rays over a glass of wine in the garden, where you can also dine alfresco unless one of the village pubs tempts you out for something to eat. And if it’s a day on the coast you seek, pick between Hive beach or West Bay beach for a refreshing day by the sea. 

A Delight in Dorset

With a private courtyard overlooking the River Frome, this cottage has a wonderful setting. Inside, there are traditional features and a log-burning stove adding to the cosy charm. This is a great retreat for a family (one of the bedrooms has a single with a pull-out bed, so this room is best suited for the kids). If you’re into fly fishing, then this place is ideal as there are steps from the patio to the river. Or you can explore the village centre with its shops and pub. For a day at the beach, hop in the car and head to Burton Bradstock or Weymouth.

The River Cottage

EV Charger

This rural hideaway in the Dorset countryside consists of not one, but three separate cottages, so gather your family and friends for a group getaway to remember. Up to twenty guests can stay here – perfect if you’re celebrating a special occasion. We love that each cottage has its own lounge, kitchen, and dining area, which means there’s plenty of space to spread out and do your own thing. The games room is great for getting everyone together and the shared courtyard is a scenic place to socialise – surrounded by farmland, you’ll feel nicely secluded here. For days out, we recommend Dorchester (home of Roman ruins and a thriving high street) or heading further afield to discover the Jurassic Coast.

Right in the heart of  Martinstown village, itself a part of Dorset’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this converted barn is the perfect getaway for couples wanting a quiet retreat. Blending modern decor with many of its original Elizabethan features, this home is a celebration of comfort and style. The thick stone and flint wall running the length of this home lets you see the age of the building, alongside a timber-gabled ceiling and flagstone floor. It’s in the style of a super spacious studio, with sliding barn doors separating the bedroom from the living area. Keeping the whole space open means you can enjoy the warmth of the wood-burner in the bedroom on chilly evenings too. If it’s sunny, there’s a private patio with a barbecue to make the most of the evening light. Plenty of bridleways, cycle routes, and public footpaths are all on the home’s doorstep and the Jurassic coastline is just five miles further south. A traditional pub and a village shop are both within walking distance. And, being only a twenty-minute drive from Weymouth's iconic harbour and beach, you’re never too far from an excellent restaurant or coastal walk.

Looking for total seclusion? Set at the end of a 400-metre-long drive, this home welcomes you back to nature with open arms. With bedrooms offering flexibility courtesy of the zip and link beds, it’s an ideal choice for a rural getaway whatever your group dynamic – and your four-legged friends can join you for the adventure, too. Locally, take to the numerous trails to hike the surrounding area (you’ll spot deer and hare in the garden and surrounding fields), or for some coastal air, Chesli beach is just six miles away and visible from home. 

The Master of Dorset

Nestled in the idyllic village of Stoke Abbott, this cottage offers a cosy escape in Dorset. It's a sweet blend of old and new, with a wood-burning fireplace ideal for winter nights and steep traditional stairs. The kitchen oozes country chic and has all the bits and bobs you need, though the pub next door is rather tempting. Outside, the enclosed garden makes the perfect pet-friendly spot to enjoy a tipple in the sunshine. When you're ready to set off and explore, you'll find Bridport (6 miles away), West Bay (a twenty-minute drive) and Lyme Regis (thirty minutes by car) all within easy reach.

The Woodman's Cottage

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. The charming location allows you to take in country views from just about every angle, while the inglenook fireplace serves as a lovely spot for unwinding after a lunchtime walk. Better still, you'll also have an outdoor dining patio and a garden to enjoy on warmer days. We recommend having a car here – you'll find private parking on the premises.

The Rambler's Retreat

This beautiful home offers an exceptional coastal escape in the heart of Dorset. It’s right next to iconic Chesil Beach on the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline, with spectacular walks in every direction – including to the pub and a farmshop. From here, you can easily visit Bridport, West Bay, and Lyme Regis. Its position adjacent to the beach means you can look forward to wonderful sea views – on a clear day, you can see Lyme Bay to the west and Portland to the east. We love the outside space, which is perfect for alfresco dining, and the well-equipped kitchen. 

Chesil Beach Beauty

There's something about staying in a barn that feels the ultimate in cosy. Maybe it's the wooden beams or exposed masonry mixed with the comforts of a fireplace and a comfortable kitchen. Maybe it's the feeling of staying somewhere that feels like a secret. You get both at this barn. Comprised of two self-contained units, it's a home that's taken its distinct past as an Elizabethan farmhouse and given it a modern makeover that still champions its original features. Leather furnishings and a wood-burning stove add to the hygge feel, perfect for when you want to curl up with a book. Outside the home, you've got a barbecue for grilling up a feast on warmer evenings and dining alfresco on the patio. Away from the barn, you're a short walk from the local pub and the village shop in Martinstown. Elsewhere, the lively harbour and beach of coastal Weymouth is a twenty-minute drive, while the famous Durdle Door is a half-hour drive from home. Lap up the seafront, explore the Dorset AONB, then return to your secret cosy hideaway.

Washing Pool Barn

The original details of this converted hayloft hark back to bygone times, and its farming heritage is still very much evident. But what was home to farming tools and animal feed has been cleverly converted to make what can only be described as a love nest. Step inside the larger barn structure and head up your own staircase to the front door. It's bright, with windows built into the walls at a low level, and skylights in the roof and the old timber rafters leave you in no doubt about the building’s former purpose. A cheerful rainbow of colourful kitchen tiles livens up an otherwise pristine white and wood motif and stable-style doors are pure country-chic. For sunny days, there’s a barbecue patio just outside the barn and your hosts encourage you to use their farmhouse garden, to pick apples in season or use the swingset. If you’re lucky, they’ll gift you with some freshly-grown veg straight from their raised beds. If you manage to drag yourself away from your well-deserved morning lie-ins, the local pub and village shop are just a short walk away and provide excellent food. Dorchester is only ten minutes away by car, and you'll reach the stunning beaches and coastal walks of the Jurassic Coast in around fifteen.

The Hayloft

Set in the picturesque village of Whitchurch Canonicorum, this single-level home offers a tranquil escape in the heart of Dorset. With beautiful views over the fields beyond, the garden is a great place to unwind. There’s also a paddock with a small orchard area. Inside this old, converted dairy, there are plenty of character features, along with a traditional farmhouse-style kitchen. We love the wood burner too – the armchair here is the perfect place for reading a book. It might be difficult to tear yourself away from here, but there’s plenty to see and do. The village has a pub which serves food, while Charmouth, with its popular beach, is just over two miles away. 

Dorset Orchards

Paid Parking On Street

This Grade-II listed cottage is located at the heart of Bridport, within strolling distance of local pubs, shops, and an acclaimed Saturday market. Perfectly positioned for exploring the nearby Jurassic Coast – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – you’ll find beaches and coastal walks within easy driving distance. The home itself is compact, but it has everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay, including a shared garden. Taller guests may find the ceiling a little low in the twin bedroom, and the stairs throughout the house are steeper than average. But if that’s not a problem, we think this this home is a great choice for a family or small group of friends wanting a convenient base while exploring the Jurassic Coast.

The Ropemaker's Cottage

Hidden away in a quiet Dorset village, this marvellous thatched cottage makes for a perfect rural retreat. Surrounded by greenery and only fifteen minutes from the coast, the cottage boasts elegant period features on the inside and a beautiful garden outside – complete with its own stream – for you to wander at leisure. Its three bedrooms are upstairs and linked with no separate access, meaning whoever takes the first bedroom will need to accommodate other guests passing through. Beyond the cottage's verdant grounds, it's only a short drive to the beaches of Lyme Regis, as well as the amazing topography of the Jurassic Coast.

The Secret Stream

Perched on the seafront in Lyme Regis, this second-floor apartment offers postcard-worthy panoramas that won't disappoint. Sit back, relax, and watch the tide roll in from the leather armchairs – thanks to the large windows, the scenery is always front and centre. Even better is the small balcony, the perfect spot for a glass of wine as the sun goes down. The apartment is a great size for two, though a third guest could be accommodated on a sofa bed with prior notice. And the location? You can't beat it. A steep passageway leads directly to the beach, putting the saltwater and single shore right on your doorstep.

Seaside Reflections

The Jurassic Coast is nearly on your doorstep at this cosy cottage in Charmouth. A great option for families, the open-plan living area has relaxation written all over it. It's a traditional townhome spread across three storeys, so expect steep stairs – especially the set leading up to the top-floor twin bedroom. The fireplace is ideal for chilly evenings, while the private garden is perfect for sundowners at dusk. Keen to dip your toes in the sea? Charmouth Beach is a ten-minute walk away. Or jump in the car and explore all Dorset has to offer.

Collecting Curios

This little hideaway is nestled in the residential area of Bowleaze Coveway – just a mile from the heart of Weymouth. You can stroll towards the seafront or adventure further afield to West Bay and the Jurassic Coast. It’s worth noting you may hear some street noise during your stay, but you will have private parking as well as access to a garden. Inside, the rooms are simple, cosy and well suited to couples and solo travellers in search of an easygoing coastal getaway. 


Breezy Cottage

Overlooking the Marine Parade, this apartment is a great option if you’re looking to experience the vibrant heart of Lyme Regis. It’s worth noting it’s possible to hear street noise from the neighbouring bar, but you will have incredible sea views from the cosy living room. A car parking permit can be supplied on request. Plus, you’ll find everything you could need within easy reach. Stroll to the beach or adventure further along the Jurassic Coast towards Sidmouth and Axminster. 

The Way by the Sea

Well, the sea and beach views from this apartment’s private balcony are stunning. You can enjoy the vistas from this home’s large windows in the living room, too. The bedroom is compact, and there’s not much storage here, but there is a wardrobe in the utility. Also, the kitchen is on the small side – that said, it has everything you need and there’s an array of eateries a short stroll away. And, of course, the beach is footsteps away. This place is the perfect base for exploring all that Dorset has to offer.

This recently remodelled home on the Devon/Dorset border is perfect for a countryside retreat. Positioned on the edge of a historic, seventeenth-century farm, just a short way from Lambert’s Castle and five miles from Lyme Regis and Charmouth on the Jurassic coast, the area promises exciting day trips and outstanding natural beauty. Whether you’re after rural rambles or swimming in the sea, there's something to pique your interest. Inside, underfloor heating means you'll be toasty warm no matter the weather, while floor-to-ceiling windows ensure guests enjoy a splendid view from every corner of the home. Food is important to your chef host, so despite the compact size of the kitchen it contains everything you could need. We'd definitely recommend sampling charcuterie made from his rare breed pigs and you'll be supplied with farm fresh eggs on arrival. The comfortable bed is perfectly positioned to catch a glimpse of the stars through remote-controlled skylight

Enjoy a sunny barbecue on your private roof terrace or rustle up something tasty in the well-equipped kitchen, then settle back to enjoy spectacular sea views. If the Dorset weather isn't so kind to you, a squashy sofa (and smart TV) awaits in the open-plan living space. Oh, and look out for the host's thoughtfully curated artwork featuring the local area.
 
 Spend time getting to know the quirky charms of Lyme Regis or take a road trip and explore further along the West Dorset and East Devon coastline before returning to your welcoming home-from-home. A rare find indeed!

Modern and minimal, this home delivers contemporary countryside chic. In the light-filled living room, you can open up the French doors to fresh countryside air and idyllic vistas of Dorset’s rolling hills. This home is located within an Area of Outstanding Beauty and nature can be found right on your doorstep. Enjoy a tranquil sunset amble around the seventy acres of private family estate. There’s a wildflower meadow, tumbling woodland streams and a spot for a campfire. With no light pollution, you’ll witness the night sky light up with stars. Once you’ve exhausted exploring your immediate surroundings venture out to the nearby Jurassic Coast. A cosy super king-size bed awaits your return with startling lake views at dawn.

Wild Orchid

This apartment in the heart of Weymouth is a wonderful option for families. The bright living area makes relaxing together easy – there's a comfortable sofa, a well-appointed kitchen, and a table where you can tuck into delicious dinners. Need a little time to yourself? The main bedroom has its own snug, perfect for morning coffees. There isn't any outdoor space here, but the beach is just a short walk away. Weymouth Harbour is also nearby, while Dorchester is within easy driving distance if you fancy a change of scenery.

Happy Cove

Right on Weymouth's lively seafront, this studio apartment is a great fit for couples. You won't have to travel far to visit the beach or harbour – both are practically on your doorstep. Pubs, bars, and restaurants (including one downstairs) are also nearby – it can get a tad noisy, but that's the charm of being so central. Besides, the coastline views from the Georgian windows are something special. Wake up to the waves crashing on the pebbled beach, then finish the day with a glass of wine as the sun goes down on the horizon. That's bliss.

Live a life of luxury on the Dorset coast in this prestigious home. Not only is the main house spacious and impeccably decorated, but there's also a separate building at the foot of the garden that houses a swimming pool, sauna and hot tub. Sounds like the kind of place that's difficult to leave.

We love the slick style aesthetic that's adopted throughout the home, from the plush Chesterfield sofas to the mirrored furniture in the double suites. Opting for a palette of charcoal grey with brick and marble accents, your hosts have made a strong case for monochrome interiors. When you're not lounging in the open-plan living area, glide across the manicured lawn and have a leisurely dip in your private pool. Come evening, the wood-burning stove creates a cosy and relaxing atmosphere.

If you can pull yourself away, wander down to Weymouth harbour and watch the fishing boats come and go. Past picturesque streets lined with quirky cafés, you'll reach a stretch of white-sand beach. On bright days, this idyllic expanse feels like it could be anywhere in the world.
