Delightful country cottage. Stunning views. A few minutes walk to Seatown beach

Ash Cottage is a cosy, well equipped 2 bedroom country cottage, with stunning views, but just 15 minutes walk to the Jurassic coast, the beach at Seatown and the South West Coastal path. There are excellent views of the countryside and coastal path from the living room and from the south facing private patio and the communal rear garden.

Ash Cottage is situated in the midst of very quiet and peaceful National Trust farmland. Ash Cottage has French windows in the lounge opening onto a private sunny south-facing patio that borders the large communal lawn that is shared with the other five properties which make up this stone barn conversion. Table, chairs, parasol and a barbeque are all provided for use on the patio. The lawn is edged by a shallow stream, and has breathtaking views over rolling Dorset hills. It is an easy walk through the fields and paths to the beach and the renowned Anchor Pub at Seatown. With the Coastal Path on it's doorstep and plenty of walks inland as well, it is a paradise for walkers! Also don’t forget that as well as the Anchor Pub at Seatown, in Chideock there is also The George Inn for a drink or a meal out.

Ash Cottage is a split level, deceptively spacious barn conversion and has a homely feel. From the front door there is a hall area with a bedroom leading off to the right. There is a half flight of stairs down to the roomy lounge / dining area with a well equipped, open plan kitchen. From the hall, there is also a half flight of stairs which leads up to the master bedroom and the bathroom. The bathroom has a full sized bath and over bath power shower.

Wifi broadband is throughout the cottage.

The large master bedroom at the rear has wonderful views and offers a king sized bed. Bedroom one at the front of the cottage also has a king sized bed plus a single bed in addition. The beds are made up with fresh linen and towels for your stay. Both bedrooms have plenty of storage space. Hairdryers are provided.

The kitchen is equipped with an induction hob, fan oven, microwave, toaster, full size fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine (tabs are provided) and plenty of cooking utensils so if wanted, you can produce a gourmet meal! An iron and ironing board are available.

The lounge / dining area has a smart TV, DVD player, CD player/radio, comfy chairs, sofa, dining table and chairs. There is a selection of family games and books. The French windows open out to the sunny patio which is the perfect position to soak up the scenery and tranquillity of the cottage's position. At night the silence is typically only broken by the trickle of the shallow brook running alongside the rear garden and the faint noise of the sea. On cloudless nights, simply stunning night views of the stars are normal at Ash Cottage, due to the lack of light pollution. Perfect for star gazers!

Ash Cottage has one designated free parking space for one vehicle.

One well behaved dog welcome (a small additional fee applies). Please note that dogs are not allowed on the furniture or beds and must not be left alone in the cottage. If you visit any of the local pubs, they are all dog friendly.

Please note that Ash Cottage is a non smoking / non vaping cottage.
Ash Cottage lies on the outskirts of the small, picturesque and historic village of Chideock. Known for it’s attractive golden stone and whitewash cottages, many of which are thatched. As mentioned above, nearby to Ash Cottage in the village there is The George Pub which has excellent food, frequent live music evenings, regular quiz evenings, plus, serves wood fired pizzas every Thursday evening from spring through to October. There is also a well stocked village stores that incorporates a Post Office. In the village, St Giles Church dates back to the 13th century and has a rich history.

At neighbouring Seatown, many fossils can be found on the shingle beach. The Anchor Inn, who’s beer garden has superb views overlooking the beach, offers a seasonal menu supporting local suppliers, to suit all tastes.

From our cottage, you can walk along the South West Coast Path and climb up Golden Cap, which at 627 feet / 191 metres height, is the highest point on the south coast and has breathtaking views. It is an easy walk to the beach at Seatown. For the more adventurous, take the Coastal path to West Bay (of Broadchurch TV series fame) to the east, or to Lyme Regis to the west. There is an excellent bus service along the coast for those that prefer the easier option one (or even both!) ways.

The market town of Bridport is 2 miles away and has markets on both Wednesdays and Saturdays selling a variety of local produce, antiques, bric a brac and clothes.

Bridport is a vibrant artistic town with lots of individual shops including art galleries, coffee shops, restaurants, excellent baker's shops, as well as the convenience of a Waitrose, a Morrisons. Co-op and Lidl. The Bridport Arts Centre and The Electric Palace Cinema offer films, theatre, music and comedy. Bridport Carnival is in August, whilst the Hat Festival is in September and the Literary Festival is in November.

West Bay is Bridport’s harbour and marks the start of Chesil Beach. Unpretentious fish and chip kiosks are the lunch venue of choice in West Bay. Above the pebble beach, towers the famous golden sandstone cliffs.

To the west of Chideock lies the small town of Charmouth, which features a pebble beach, fossil rich cliffs and the Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre that provides interactive displays and everything there is to know about fossils!

The popular seaside town of Lyme Regis is a short drive away and boasts it’s famous fishing harbour and Cobb, where you can walk up Granny’s teeth, if you dare! These are stone steps jutting out for the side of the Cobb’s inner wall. The town and seafront are known for their quaint buildings, sheltered sandy beach and of course, fossil hunting! As well as plenty of independent shops, Lyme Regis also has a theatre, a water mill, gardens, museum and hosts a multitude of events.

The area has an array of wonderful restaurants, of which the best known are probably Mark Hix’s Oyster and Fish House (Lyme Regis) and The Station Kitchen in West Bay, with both just 15 minutes drive from Ash Cottage.

Great location and immaculate accommodation!
This cottage is very well presented and feels incredibly clean and well looked after. It had all the amenities you might need plus thoughtful extras like maps and games. The location is perfect and we had two great walks along the cliffs - one to Lyme Regis and the other to Bridport. We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend this cottage.

Spacious cottage with stunning views!
Superb hosts who have given care and consideration to everything you may need during your stay… detailed information before your arrival, useful on-site visitors information folder; complete range of kitchen equipment and ample provision of crockery - thus utilising the dishwasher and not having the chore of washing-up after each mug (wine glass) used! Ash Cottage is really cosy and insulated, we didn’t require any heating during our October visit - despite the heavy wind and rain buffeting the building one night. We absolutely loved the lack of light pollution - stunning night skies - and also enjoyed the peaceful location… open the bedroom window and you can hear the waves at nearby Seatown Beach. Highly recommend this homely cottage and hope to return soon.

Lovely spot
Description of the property is very accurate and the cottage is clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Beds are very comfy. Pubs George Inn and Anchor Inn, both less than 15 minute walk away are lovely and serve delicious food. Lovely spot for walking along the South West cost path and also for more inland walks. Swimming in Seatown pebble beach in clear waters with a surprising option to rent a mobile sauna was great. The whole family really enjoyed our stay.

I, my wife and two children enjoyed our holidays there for 4days. It was great to walk to the sea. Kids were excited to see rabbit, baby ducks, and snails (after rain) on their way. It was very convenient to go to Charmouth and Lyme Regis for fun! Beautiful view from windows which made us relaxed. Kids loved lots of board games in the property. I hope we can come back again soon.

Just what we needed, if only it could have been longer
What a lovely cottage. Surprisingly bigger than expected (especially the bedroom) and everything you could need for a homely and comfortable, 'get-away from it all' stay. Very comfortable bed, lounge area and very well-equipped kitchen. Excellently positioned for local pubs and shops, with some spectacular walks from the doorstep. Very good communication and information from David and Julie. Couldn’t have asked for anything more – we have already rebooked for later in the year!
