Osmington is a quaint Dorset village close to the seaside and 5 miles from the popular resort of Weymouth. There’s much to explore in this part of Dorset including the South West Coast Path with its views of the English Channel, the Jurassic Coast - a UNESCO world heritage site, Portland Bill, Chesil Beach and Abbotsbury Swan Sanctuary.

There is a doorway from the lounge into the garden for convenience too. Opposite the lounge, is a dining room complete with a table, seating six diners and a highchair. There is also Hi-Fi and a selection of books to borrow. Next door, the kitchen comes equipped with handy appliances that include a gas oven and hob, washing machine, microwave, fridge/freezer and radio. Also, on the ground floor there is a WC and a cupboard for your outdoor wear. Upstairs, you will find three restful bedrooms: one double with en-suite shower room and WC and two twins. Nearby is a larger shower room with WC too.

Outside the property, you will find two gardens. The first of which is at the front of the house and is a delightful, gravel-covered space with small trees, shrubs and climbing plants.

Lovely comfortable cottage, ideally located in a quiet and picturesque village. Garden was small, but pretty, private and secure for dogs. Would recommend a visit, particularly if countryside and coastal walks are on your agenda.

A wonderful week at Thyme cottage. Osmington is a lovely village with old fashioned charm. It is quiet and tranquil with many walks from the doorstep, be it rolling countryside or coastal views. The cottage itself was spacious, with room for our party of 5 to spread out and find some space to read a book, watch a film or relax in the cottage gardenRead more. Kitchen equipment was plentiful, a good array of books, cds and board games. Property was clean, cosy and welcoming. Hide
