Cottage on the Lake

Holiday Rental Description

Step inside this charming cottage nestled in the Chilcombe, on the outskirts of Dorset’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With a picturesque lake and the Jurassic Coast, a short distance at your fingertips, this home nestled in a farm of holiday cottages feels like an idyllic rural getaway.

Here, you’ll find a characterful flint exterior with a traditional beamed interior alongside a host of comforting furnishings. The home has a dynamic open-plan living space that’s perfect for socialising and relaxing together. After preparing a delicious dinner with the produce you picked up from the local farm shop, settle in at the wooden dining table, where you can savour your culinary achievements. If the weather is on your side, pop a bottle of sparkling and sip it from your balcony overlooking the landscape, or cosy up in the living room to enjoy a film – perfect for colder nights.

Stepping outside, you'll find a gorgeous garden and lake as well as a converted games barn – play a few rounds of pool with your loved ones or set about a family tournament of ping pong with the other guests on the farm. When you’re not making the most of the garden, there’s plenty to see nearby – the scenic town of Bridport is nearby and has a host of boutique shops, tea rooms and excellent pubs. Spend a day teeing off one of the local golf courses or enjoy a day on the sands of one of the local beaches, the coast is a ten-minute drive.
