The countryside location offers direct access to wonderful walking routes right from your doorstep. West Bay and the magnificent Jurassic Coast are minutes away by car. Perfect for beach days and coastal hikes with Burton Bradstock and other gorgeous bays nearby. After exploring, return to your secluded garden for a glass of something cold. It's the kind of place where "I'll just check my work emails" becomes impossible due to the refreshingly poor WiFi – a blessing in disguise!
The accommodation features three bedrooms – two super-king-size with en-suite shower rooms and one super-king zip-and-link that can be arranged as twins. There's a family bathroom with shower over bath plus a downstairs WC. The kitchen boasts a range-style oven and the living area has a wood burner with logs included. Outside you'll find a games barn with table tennis.
Visit Symondsbury Estate's shops and café (minutes away), explore Bridport's shops (1.5 miles), enjoy Hive Beach Café's fantastic food, or discover Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens (15 minutes' drive). West Bay, made famous as the setting for Broadchurch, offers dramatic cliffs and beaches just 10 minutes away.
Soak in your private hot tub under the stars after days of adventure. Dorset Thatch is ideal for families or three couples wanting countryside tranquility with coastal access.
