Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 2 - Bridport (2mls N), Dorset

Stay within perfect proximity between the coast and the country in this romantic property which welcomes couples and their dogs too! Spend your days hand-in-hand walking the South West Coast Path, exploring Dorset's beautiful quaint villages and stopping off at independent shops and cafes to refuel for a holiday you'll remember for many years to come. The property opens into the charming open-plan living room/kitchen/diner where thoughtful touches make you feel immediately at home.

Take your pick of seating options from the sofa with scatter cushions or the emerald-green armchair and kick back and relax in front of the wood burner and Smart TV. For mealtimes, the kitchen is equipped with all you could need to whip up a feast for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the small but perfectly formed dining table is the perfect place to enjoy your meal with views of the garden out of the window. Off the open-plan living space is the door to the bedroom, a stylish king-size with a pastel colour palette and a modern, tiled en-suite bathroom.

Outside, the enclosed garden is a wonderful place to soak up the sunshine, whether that's with a cup of coffee in the morning or dining al fresco on a long summer's evening. Located half a mile from the hamlet of Salwayash, this property offers easy access to some of Dorset's finest gems. Head to the beaches of West Bay, Lyme Regis and Charmouth to soak up the fresh sea air, all within 8 miles, or visit the characterful town of Bridport to peruse the independent shops for trinkets and dine at one of the many fine cafes and restaurants.

For a taste of the countryside, head to Lewesdon Hill (3.5 miles) or Pilsdon Pen (5.5 miles) for panoramic viewpoints of the sweeping coast and countryside.
