Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 6 - Bridport (3.5mls NE), Dorset

Relax and enjoy the beautiful countryside surroundings of this converted Dorset barn which nestles on a working farm. Gaze out across the acres of fields and breathe in the fresh country air. Located near the quiet village of West Milton and just 3.5 miles from Bridport, the handsome home, which sleeps up to six guests and welcomes one dog, offers the best of all worlds.

Walk through scenic Dorset and follow parts of the South West Coast Path; relax on the beach at West Bay 5 miles away, or spend afternoons browsing in the shops and market stalls of Bridport. Make your way from the unmade driveway into the stone barn and leave your wellies and coats in the utility room. Find yourself in an inviting beamed lounge, where you can relax on comfortable seating, watch the Smart TV, or simply sit and absorb the views.

The kitchen/diner, with its vaulted ceiling, lies beyond the lounge - prepare holiday feasts in here to share with your family and friends. Find one of your bedrooms, with its en-suite shower room, also at ground-floor level. Head up to the first floor for your other two comfortable bedrooms, which share a family bathroom.

Serve dinner out in the sunshine on warm evenings; relax on the patio by the fire pit and watch the children run about on the lawn. Spend happy afternoons in the vibrant Georgian town of Bridport. Wander its streets taking in its interesting architecture and deciding where to dine out.

Visit the museum here too, which is about 4 miles away, or take a tour of Palmers Brewery, 4.5 miles from home. Pick up the South West Coast Path at West Bay and walk just over 5 miles to Burton Bradstock for far-reaching views across the Devon coastline from the top of high cliffs.
