Pet friendly cottage, sleeps 3 - Weymouth (2mls NW), Dorset

This lovely barn conversion is ideal for couples with a child, or a group of three friends. It's nestled in a pretty, tranquil spot on the cusp of the West Dorset Heritage Coast. Weymouth is just 2 miles away with its remarkable sandy beach, great for sunbathing or partaking in water sports activities.

The property is based over a single storey and is tastefully furnished throughout. The open-plan lounge/diner is bright and airy and great for socialising, with doors that lead out to the garden. The kitchen area is compact and practical with everything you need to cook a meal.

Down the hall, one of the bedrooms has an en-suite shower room and there is also a separate bathroom with a bath. Outside is a pretty, enclosed garden with patio area and seating, perfect for winding down with a glass of wine on a summer's evening, after a busy day exploring. You will be well placed to explore both the surrounding countryside of Dorset, as well as the many towns and coastal villages in the area, and spoilt for choice with walking routes.

Take the nearby footpaths that lead through woodlands, heathland and villages or take the coastal routes and admire the Jurassic Coast's spectacular sites. Visit one of Dorset's most iconic landmarks, Chesil Beach (1.5 miles) or head to the hustle and bustle of seaside town life at Weymouth (2 miles). Hop in the car and visit the unmistakable Durdle Door (18 miles) and the nearby Lulworth Castle (20 miles).
