A 17th-century former potter's studio, this coastal retreat is just the right size for a solo getaway or romantic escape for couples, offering privacy, cosiness galore and excellent location.
This cosy cottage in the picturesque Dorset village of Burton Bradstock is the ideal destination for couples and their canine companions wishing to explore the stunning coastline and countryside within easy reach. Take the lead along the South West Coast Path, only steps from the front door, to the popular resort of Bridport (3 miles). Dog-friendly Hive Beach with its welcoming cafe is less than 500 metres from the cottage for ball games and doggy paddles.
Located partway down a quiet no-through road, cross the shared courtyard garden at the front of the property to reach your traditional stone cottage. The open-plan interior is bright and airy, decorated in neutral tones with bright splashes of colour. Cook up delicious dinners for two in the compact kitchen area and dine at the centrally positioned table. After supper, curl up in the comfortable armchairs with a glass of wine and your furry friend at your feet. Heading upstairs, you will find a tranquil double bedroom with en-suite shower room. Remember to bring your pet’s favourite bedding so they can rest their paws too. Stepping outside to the shared courtyard garden, there’s a seating area to sip your morning coffee.
Step out of the front door for long walks along the cliff-tops and coast path. Amble to Cogden Beach (1 mile) for a walk along the secluded sands in this beautiful rural setting. Take to the water on a canoe trip from West Bay (2 miles) where your dog can join you as you paddle along the Jurassic Coastline. Head to the Symondsbury Estate (4.5 miles) and sniff out your favourite trail through the fabulous gardens before enjoying a treat in the dog-friendly cafe. Be rewarded with spectacular views from Eggardon Hill (7 miles) as you discover the remains of the Iron Age hillfort at its summit.
