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.

Home truths
One well-behaved dog is welcome to join you here.
Please note that the staircase is quite narrow and may not suit guests with limited mobility.
Your host provides logs for the fire during winter months only, starting in November.
We suggest having a car in this location. On-street parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Though the owner does their best to keep the hedges and brambles in the garden tidy, they can get a little unruly. That said, we think it adds to the charm.
The decor is a little bare bones. If you're after something with a lot of character, you may want to look elsewhere.
