Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Weymouth (2.5mls N), Dorset

Sleeping four guests, this five-star luxury property is set in quiet countryside on a working farm near Broadwey village in Dorset, within a mile of a shop and a pub. It’s ideal for families, friends, or couples who love country life and wildlife wanders in beautiful surroundings, yet with the convenience of heritage attractions and family-friendly amenities within easy reach. Enjoy walks from your doorstep, or sandy saunters in Weymouth (3 miles) towards the historic harbour.

Or, discover the rugged beauty of Chesil Beach with its 18 miles of shingle on the West Dorset Heritage Coast (6 miles). Take two steps up to the front door of your holiday home where you’re greeted with contemporary-style interiors, with sophisticated hues. Venture into the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, and sink into comfortable seating in the living area, and relax by the cosy wood burner.

Rustle up delicious home-cooked meals and gather around the dining table where you can catch up on the highlights of the day. Amble upstairs to find the elegant bedrooms, both with Smart TVs. Outside you’ll find a beautiful, enclosed garden where you can enjoy BBQ meals alfresco, and there’s the luxury of a private hot tub – soak into warm bubbles after a wonderful day of exploring.

Discover markets and museums in Dorchester (5.5 miles). Relax on the pristine beach of West Bay (16 miles), or stroll the shores of West Bexington Beach (12 miles). Visit picture-postcard Lulworth Cove (14.5 miles), and look out for Durdle Door.

Take a hilly hike to see the Cerne Abbas Giant (14 miles). Or be inspired by Abbotsbury subtropical gardens (7.5 miles). Don’t miss the long-distance South West Coast Path which stretches all the way from Poole Harbour in East Dorset to Minehead in Somerset.
