Surrounded by lush Dorset countryside and with the Jurassic Coast just a 4-mile drive away, this quaint cottage offers up an idyllic place to stay for a family or group of friends

This holiday escape sits in the heart of the Dorset countryside, surrounded by peaceful farmland and with the coastline nearby. Go walking along the South West Coast Path and discover Lulworth Cove, Man O’War Cove and Ringstead Bay, all beaches with 4 miles. Pull on your hiking shoes and climb one of the highest hills along the south coast, Chaldon Hill. When you’re done, head to your local pub for a hearty meal out just down the road from this cottage. To venture further afield, head over to the ancient Roman town of Dorchester, 10 miles away. Family attractions around the town include the Courthouse Museum, Kingston Maurward Animal Park and the Dorset Teddy Bear Museum.

A side door and steps give access to this lovely end-of-terrace cottage. Once inside you will find a handy utility room with a washing machine and microwave, a shower room with WC and a step up into the kitchen. This industrial-style space has been cleverly designed to make use of natural materials and is equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There is space to dine in an adjacent sunroom overlooking the garden and a study/reading nook at one end of the room. To the front of the cottage is the lounge, which has a Smart TV and a wood burner for cosy nights together. A door opens onto cottage-style stairs that lead to the first floor. There are three bedrooms to choose from; two king-size, one has access to a charming roof terrace, ideal for enjoying your morning coffee, and there is one double room where the bed is set against the wall. The bedrooms share the bathroom which has a bath, separate shower and WC.

Head into the garden either from the sunroom or the kitchen, where you will find an enclosed garden benefitting from a covered patio area with furniture and a lawn which overlooks the neighbourhood vegetable patch on one side. There is an off-road parking space beside the cottage and a further off-road space approx. 15 metres from the property.

Very nice cottage in a great location. Peaceful, comfortable and plenty of space. Great walks in the area, including down to the coast path straight from the accommodation. Nearby pub friendly staff and great beer; the food was ok but not brilliant.

We had a lovely long weekend at Fair Cottage, the cottage had everything we needed, comfy beds, showers good. Lovely village with great pub, The Sailors Return. Bonus of field at the back for dogs to run in. Close to the coast so great for exploring, we had the bonus of some lovely weather, very enjoyable stay.

Had such a wonderful week we extended for 3 more days! Fair cottage is a charming home set in beautiful surroundings. The property has everything you need and plenty of space. Lots of nooks to find a comfortable place to sit and relax. The snug with desk was really useful as I was able to do some remote working. WiFi was good but a bit hit and missRead more upstairs. Tom and Heidi at Dorset Home were always on hand to sort out any issues. Garden is delightful. Love the community allotment next door! Hide

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. Party of 6- plenty of space around the house for entertainment. Convenient area- only a short drive away from Durdle Dor and Lulworth Cove. Amazing garden space, which would have been lovely to use if the weather was slightly less wet and cold! We will definitely be booking again!

We enjoyed our stay - 6 people and a dog. The cottage had spacious accommodation, easily sufficient for our needs, and was well equipped for a short break. Location is excellent. We enjoyed the off road walk to Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove. The Sailor's Return pub provided excellent Sunday roasts.

A lovely cottage in a lovely rural location, a short drive to Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove and other places of interest so plenty to see and do in the area. A dog friendly pub just down the road too and plenty more in the area. The garden backs onto an enclosed field where children and dogs can play and have a run around.

Great cottage in a stunning location. The village has an excellent restaurant & is conveniently located near Lulworth, Corfe castle and Weymouth. The cottage was very clean and has everything you might need for your stay. The beds were very comfortable and the linen of high quality. Having two showers meant no queuing for the bathroom in the morninRead moregs. A small playing field, 'God's pocket', out of the back gate was great for our dogs and the neighbours and villagers were very friendly. Hide
