A 17th-century former potter's studio, this coastal retreat is just the right size for a solo getaway or romantic escape for couples, offering privacy, cosiness galore and excellent location.

Located part way down a quiet, no-through road in Burton Bradstock, this property offers many opportunities to enjoy the surrounding area. Encompassed by countryside and only 500 yards from the beach, you can walk to the seashore to spend hours in the sunshine. For a bite to eat, a cafe is accessible along the beach or a 0.5-mile drive by car. Also in the village and within walking distance is a local shop and two pubs. The property is ideally placed for touring the Jurassic Coast, the rest of Dorset and East Devon. There are a selection of nearby towns to explore, such as Beaminster and Bridport, which boasts popular vintage shops and is ideal for an afternoon spent browsing or sampling the cafe culture. Or take a trip to the coastal resorts of Lyme Regis and West Bay, where lazy days can be spent on the beach or take a boat trip along the coast.

Cross the pretty, shared courtyard garden at the front of the property and step inside. Home to a cosy, open-plan design, the space has been transformed into a light and airy living area. With a well-equipped kitchen at one end, you can make use of the oven, electric hob, microwave and other appliances for meals at home. Store your fizz in the fridge and toast to an unforgettable holiday. Facing away from the kitchen, you will see the lounge/diner. With two snuggly armchairs, a dining table for two, a Smart TV and a selection of books, you can spend lazy mornings and relaxed evenings with your feet up. Heading upstairs, the attractive double bedroom takes pride of place. Home to a double bed, the double aspect bedroom’s neutral tones with large windows create a bright, tranquil space. Adjoining the bedroom is an en-suite shower room with a heated towel rail and WC.

The pictures give a genuine impression of the interior, which is a good standard. The hosts were most welcoming. A pint of milk in the fridge was appreciated. The bed was very firm. Being 500yds from the beach is fantastic. However, we felt that "Located part way down a quiet, no-through road" is misleading. It is on the corner of two such roads, aRead morend more significantly about 30m from the main road which dominates the prospect, both from inside and in the courtyard. / / / distract.delays.speaking Hide

Really nice cottage and loc. But apprehensive and parking in the unlit layby espec. as cars further up the road had warning signs abt leaving property in cars but ours proved to be secure by end of week. Perhaps us city dwellers tend to be rather over cautious !

Our second winter holiday in this lovely, comfy little cottage. A great base for walking, both directly from the cottage and within a short car ride. The weather wasn't kind so we really appreciated being able to stroll out to the cliff and beach when the rain stopped. Great food, both at the Three Horseshoes, in the village, and at S & E Fish and Read moreChips in West Bay. I'd recommend the Youtube channel Daves Countryside Walks for showing a number of lovely walks in the area. Hide

Great communication from the owners. We arrived with temperatures at around freezing for our 3 night January break (couple & 1 medium sized dog) and found the cottage beautifully warm - which is how it stayed for our whole stay. It is a small but very cosy cottage with everything that we needed for our stay. Useful having parking adjacent to properRead morety too. Easy access to the coast path and numerous good places to eat in the village and also the local area. We wouldnt hesitate to return here. Hide

What a charming little cottage. It is tiny but very comfortable, cosy and well-equipped. Fine for the two of us plus a medium-sized dog. The situation is fabulous. On the edge of the village, near to the shop, garage and Three Horseshoes (where we had two lovely meals) but very quiet inside and next to open fields for the dog. The very best bit wasRead more being able to take a gentle evening stroll from the cottage to watch the sun go down over the sea. Hide
