2 Bed in Stoke Abbott (oc-r31870)

Located in the heart of the Dorset National Landscape and just 8.5 miles from the world-famous Jurassic Coast, this charming cottage offers the perfect holiday base to couples and small families. Sleeping four guests, the property sits in the Dorset village of Stoke Abbott, where walking and cycling trails aplenty lead into the surrounding hills and towards the coastline. Just 4.5 miles away is Mapperton House, where you can explore the stunning grounds of the Jacobean manor and enjoy far-reaching views across the countryside. The county town of Beaminster (2 miles) boasts a good range of shops and eateries, as does the attractive market town of Bridport (6 miles). Heading to the coast, you’ll soon reach the dramatic shores of West Bay (8.5 miles), with its towering cliffs and huge beach. Here, you can join the scenic South West Coast Path to explore what is arguably the most dramatic stretch of the Jurassic coastline.


Before stepping into this gorgeous cottage, take a moment to appreciate its peaceful surroundings of rolling countryside and the sounds of nature. Head through the garden and into the property, kicking off muddy walking boots in the boot room. Move through to the inviting lounge where original cottage features such as exposed stone walls combine with a sleek colour palette and modern comforts. Settle here after days of Dorset adventure, flicking on the Smart TV or sinking into the sumptuous furnishings with your holiday read. For more relaxation, or perhaps a quiet moment, find the pretty snug where a crackling wood burner and more inviting seating offer the perfect spot for morning coffees or post-dinner snoozes. When it comes to cooking up your holiday feasts, find that the well-appointed, country-style kitchen/diner boasts everything needed for a self-catered break, including far-reaching rural views to enjoy as the chef works their magic. Gather at the wooden table here to eat or dine alfresco out on the patio when the weather permits. Completing the ground floor is a well-equipped family shower room. At the end of each busy day away, climb the cottage stairs to the first floor and uncover two splendid double bedrooms, both with sleek decors and verdant views. A family bathroom serves the bedrooms and completes the interior.


Outside, the cottage garden has a patio area with stone steps leading to an enclosed lawn surrounded by trees. Use the outdoor furniture here to dine alfresco on balmy days, and benefit from private parking for one car.
