Long Barn is a charming thatched cottage set in the village of Burton Bradstock, Dorset, well suited to families and friends looking for a coastal break with village amenities and river views close by.
Park up using the off‑road space and step straight into the conservatory, where exposed stonework, tiled flooring and seating create a welcoming first space to settle in after arrival or enjoy a quiet drink.
From here, the conservatory opens into the kitchen and dining area, making it easy to come together around the breakfast bar as breakfast is cooked on the hob, pause at the window seat with a coffee, and move comfortably between preparing meals and sitting down to eat.
The nearby sitting room feels bright and relaxed, with carpeted flooring, a sofa and armchairs arranged for evenings spent watching TV or unwinding after days outdoors.
Upstairs, artwork lines the landing which leads to the bedrooms and bathroom, including a twin room with a partial sloping ceiling, soft carpeting and countryside views, alongside a spacious double bedroom that looks out towards the River Bride flowing under the bridge, offering a calm place to wake up and wind down.
The bathroom on this floor includes a bath, basin and WC, while the ground‑floor shower room adds extra convenience with a walk‑in shower, basin, WC and washing machine.
Outside, the garden offers a patio with furniture, providing a pleasant spot to sit out and enjoy the Dorset air.
For days out nearby, Hive Beach is ideal for fossil hunting, long coastal walks beneath dramatic cliffs and time spent by the sea.
Bridport Museum provides a good indoor option with interactive displays, hands‑on exhibits and local history that appeals to both adults and children.
Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens offer a contrasting day out with sheltered paths, exotic planting and elevated viewpoints overlooking the surrounding countryside and coast.
After exploring the area, return to Long Barn to relax and enjoy time together in this characterful village retreat.
