From the outside this sweet cottage, with its thatched roof and traditional brickwork, looks like something straight out of a fairytale. Step inside, and you'll be delighted to find a charming home that is the perfect blend of old and new. You'll find vintage movie posters and antique furnishings along with modern conveniences and a bold, contemporary colour scheme – this is the ideal place to relax in style. Bring your guests out to the garden, and you'll find a beautiful array of flowers to admire from the alfresco dining area – summer evenings never looked so good. Pour a glass of wine and languish as the sun goes down, perhaps chatting about plans for the following day or simply enjoying the sound of birdsong on the breeze. When it comes to exploring, you're in a brilliant position to enjoy everything the surrounding countryside has to offer. Bring your hiking boots and go for a long hike through the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, stopping off at one of the rural pubs when you need to refuel. Or, head to the coast – Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are less than twenty minutes away by car.
