For anyone who has dreamed of staying in a simple little chocolate box cottage, this may fit the bill. It's surrounded by lawns that are perfect for a picnic or for your four-legged friends to roam free. On the warmer days, dine alfresco, and by night, you can cosy up by the fire with a good book. Or, if you want to hang with the locals, stroll across the field for a pint in the pub. The Jurassic Coast's top sights are only a short drive away. And, with lots of local amenities within walking distance, you truly have the best of both worlds here.

Home truths:
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's free parking on the street.
*There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb a steep, narrow staircase to reach the bedrooms of the home.
