About this property

Dorset Croft - a country cottage in beautiful West Dorset

Dorset Croft sits in the heart of stunning West Dorset countryside (Dorset AONB). This idyllic setting still allows you to easily reach everything you will want, to enjoy your country holiday exactly as you wish.

You might have spent the day out walking the network of paths we have crossing West Dorset or enjoying the challenge of the South West Coast Path. Cyclists can lose themselves in the lanes that wind their way across West Dorset and into Devon. Walkers and cyclists alike can take off straight from the door and at the end of the day dog walkers and cyclists have a spot to wash down outside with a ‘BikeTrap’ secure bike storage point for the cyclists peace of mind and a waterproof dog bed for your dog to ease out of the days exertions.

For the days when you want a destination you could head to Lyme Regis, Forde Abbey, West Bay, Charmouth for fossil hunting, Abbotsbury Swannery for the signets in Spring, Mapperton House, local vineyards or cider farms and very many more lovely and varied places.

Wherever you have spent your day, you can prepare your well earned dinner in the full sized kitchen, or Beaminster and Bridport where there are many pubs, bars, cafes and restaurants, are just a few miles away.

Dorset Croft has the Jubilee Trail crossing its land and so walkers can get straight on this and head for the nearby Lewesdon Hill and Pilsdon Pen – the two highest points in Dorset which have the most fantastic views. From Pilsdon Pen the view encompasses almost the entire Dorset coast from Portland to Lyme Bay. For a hattrick of Dorset high spots, Golden Cap is the highest point on the South Coast with gorgeous views along the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.

The Dorset Croft holiday let is a spacious and bright first floor annexe with its own parking, entrance and roof terrace area. There are views to the countryside from all windows and plenty of space to relax and get comfortable. The bedroom has a kingsize bed and an external door that takes you to the roof deck – a lovely spot for breakfast or an evening glass of something whilst you look at the stars and listen to the owls. The whole property is recently refurbished and provides lovely holiday accommodation for you, maybe with your dog, to enjoy the wonderful countryside and coast we are so lucky to have.

Lovely Stay, everything down to the detail

My wife, dog and I spent a lovely week at Dorset Croft. The location is fantastic with beautiful sights, walks, and villages nearby for a true English experience. The hosts had everything down to the detail, and you were never at a loss looking around for things, as everything was neatly organized and prepared. The cleanliness of everything was much appreciated as well.

Great Gem

This house is beautiful and lies in a remote and quiet valley. We realley enjoyed everything about it, especially the morning coffes in the sun on the roof terrace with just the sounds of all the birds and the waterfall in the valley. Highly recommended for nature lovers!

Perfect place for visiting Dorset

A very comfortable and well equipped holiday home. Loads of space, comfortable bed, good sized kitchen. The owners supplied local milk and a variety of other local items like honey and cider which were very welcome. The location is nice and quiet with great views from the terrace and well located for the coast and also inland attractions. Everything you need for an enjoyable break.

A chocolate box cottage

The cottage is far nicer than the pictures show . It is nice , comfortable , plenty of space and of a very high standard. Lovely & clean inside and the outside area. Lovely rooftop seating area to relax and enjoy the stunning surroundings. A welcome pack not just for us but also the woofers. Lovely touch with dog beds, throws and a basket of towels if needed. The host are first class and helped with a medical situation, so thanks for your kindness. We will certainly be back , as first class accommodation . Thanks.

October break.

We loved the property. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The dogs were well looked after with towels, treats and beds to use and we loved our treats too. Dorset Croft was a great place to walk from and we followed the Jubilee Trail in both directions from the property. We would love to return again in the not too distant future.
