Cottage to rent with a log fire / woodburner in Bridport (1.5mls NW)

Accommodation details

Brimming with country charm, tranquil tones and sociable spaces, this gorgeous cottage sleeps four across two bedrooms and is perfect for a break with family and friends. Less than 2 miles from the bustling hub of Bridport, and 2 miles from the dog-friendly sands at Eype, bring a pair of four-legged friends along and enjoy having a ball together.

With creature comforts to welcome you back home after adventures, light the wood burner to get cosy or sit with a tipple in the pretty courtyard for an al fresco evening. Set in a courtyard of cottages, wander through the picket gate, step up, and make your way inside your home from home. Beautifully fresh and inviting, the open-plan lounge/diner is a brilliant space in which to spend time.

Throw a log on the wood burner and settle with a book, switch on the TV for a film night, or pop open a bottle and enjoy a games night for a competitive end to your day. When it's time to cook up a storm, tear yourselves away from the comfortable sofas and head into the kitchen. Contemporary yet classic style creates a lovely atmosphere for the designated chef, and you will find all you need to throw together everything from tasty picnics to three-course feasts which can be enjoyed either inside or out.

Climb stairs to rest your head in one of two wonderful bedrooms, one of which boasts a handy en-suite. Start your day with a soak in the family bathroom before heading downstairs for a morning coffee. There is parking in a nearby, free, public car park. Pack your swimmers and head for a beach day at the local beach of Eype, which welcomes dogs all year round and sits beneath the dramatic peak of the Golden Cap.

Tuck into a picnic or treat yourselves to a meal at a local eatery in the quiet village. For an inland adventure, travel 6 miles to the National Trust's Pilsden Pen, home to a range of walks, far-reaching views and steeped in interesting history.
