Located just a quarter of a mile outside the peaceful village of West Milton along a private track, this cottage sits adjacent to the owner’s farmhouse and enjoys a secluded location in the rolling countryside of Dorset. Set on a working farm in 175 acres, you can head out on foot across the gentle hills and make your way to the local pub for respite or venture a little further afield to enjoy the beautiful coast. Just 5.5 miles away, you will find the picturesque West Bay, home to sandy beaches and rugged clifftops along with a selection of independent shops and eateries; you could easily while away your days here. Further along the coast (14.5 miles), is Lyme Regis, home to the marine fossil displays of Dinosaurland Fossil Museum and the sweeping Monmouth Beach.

Step inside this charming cottage into the light and airy open-plan living area made up of the kitchen, dining area and lounge. The lounge area offers a sofa and chair where you can cosy up of an evening in front of the Smart TV. The bright and compact kitchen area is complete with everything you’ll need to cook up a storm before sitting down in the dining area to appreciate it. Following a day of discovery, make your way upstairs to find a restful dual aspect bedroom complete with a king-size bed, soothing tones and wonderful views over the farm. Adjacent to the bedroom there is a shower room.

Heading outside, a few steps across the parking area lead to a gate where you can walk over a small bridge spanning the mill stream. From here you will find a large sloping lawn area complete with a decked area with seating, a fire pit, apple trees and pretty flower beds – the perfect space to soak up the peace and quiet. Throw down a picnic blanket to enjoy a spot of al fresco dining or start your day with a morning coffee as you sit in the shade under one of the trees in the garden and take in the countryside views. Many footpaths criss-cross over the organic dairy farm, from which you can explore the stunning landscape. The cottage offers ample off-road parking.

This is the third time we have been to this cottage, and absolutely love it! The cottage is cosy and warm with an excellent heating system should it be required. The owners are lovely, on hand if you need anything but never intrusive. The only sounds are bird song and the bleating of lambs, at least at this time of the year. Booking again for next Read moreyear! Hide

This is a lovely place to stay. The little cottage is very welcoming and cosy, the bed is comfortable with a good mattress, and the shower works well. The kitchen, though small, has everything except a dishwasher - unnecessary for just two people. The surrounding countryside is beautiful. The fields were full of wild flowers at our most recent stayRead more and the scenery is wonderful. The owners are friendly and helpful but not obtrusive. We will certainly come again! Hide

A compact cottage in a beautiful corner of Dorset with wonderful walks from the farm. 20 mins from the coast, but don't miss the stunning scenery inland, especially from the many hillforts in the area. Moores Biscuit shop in Bridport is not to be missed!
