Cottage in Dorset

Holiday Rental Description

Set in the small, picturesque village of Langton Herring, which is one of the few doubly "Thankful Villages" in England as records show that all men returned from both First and Second World Wars. The village has wonderful views of Chesil beach, this stylish property is the ideal base for a family holiday. There is a wide network of walking routes nearby, including the Southwest Coast Path. Weymouth is only 6 miles away and has a sandy beach backed by shops, cafés, and restaurants, and the old harbour is worth a visit, where you can try your hand at fishing or take a boat trip. Those wishing to delve into local history can explore the Victorian Nothe Fort and the ancient ruins of the cliffside Sandsfoot castle. Other places of interest are Abbotsbury, 4 miles away, and Bridport, Burton Bradstock, and the Isle of Portland are within 15 miles. A pathway leads from the lane to the entrance into this terraced cottage. Once inside you are met with a striking lounge immediately to your right. This characterful room has an inglenook fireplace with a wood burner and a Smart TV. Leading off of here is a comfortable twin bedroom (which can be made as a King size on request at time of booking). Heading further into the cottage brings you to the split level kitchen diner. The kitchen area is well equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. A rear hallway gives access to a shower room with WC and a utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer. Heading back through into the lounge will bring you to the steep cottage style staircase, which leads to the first floor. There is a choice of two inviting bedrooms on this level, one is the master bedroom with a super king size, and the other is a double. An additional pull out single bed, suitable for a child is available on request at time of booking. A further steep flight of stairs takes you up into the eaves of the property and to a stylish bathroom with shower over bath and WC. Due to the age of the property, there are some areas of restricted head height throughout, which only adds to its character and charm. A door leads from the rear hallway into the garden. There is a patio area with comfortable seating and a fire pit adjacent to the cottage and a path leads up into the cottage style garden and a further patio area with furniture which is ideal for dining. To the rear of the property is an off road parking space suitable for 1 car.
