Bubbs Cottage
Description
Bubbs Cottage is a traditional thatched retreat resting in Chaldon Herring and is a great choice for those looking for a countryside escape.
It is ideal for families or friends seeking a characterful escape close to the Jurassic Coast with pets also invited.
After pulling up at the property and stepping out, you’re greeted by the charming brickwork and thatched roof of Bubbs Cottage, with a neat gravel path leading to the entrance.
The exterior sets the tone for a stay steeped in character, framed by a well-kept lawn and traditional features that invite you inside.
Step through the door into the country-style kitchen, where tiled flooring and a wooden dining table with chairs and a bench create a welcoming space for gathering.
Sunlight spills across the room, catching the TV perched on the window ledge, while the well-equipped layout makes preparing meals a pleasure.
A utility room sits close by, housing a fridge and washing machine to keep everything practical and organised.
Continue through to the sitting room, where a rustic beam stretches overhead and an electric fire glows warmly from its nook.
Sink into the sofa or armchair and flick on the mounted TV for a relaxed evening after a day of exploring.
For quieter moments, wander into the snug, a peaceful space with two armchairs and a selection of books, perfectly positioned to look out over the garden.
Its open aspect through to the sitting room means you can enjoy a sense of connection while savouring a little solitude.
Climb the stairs, minding the low beams that whisper of the cottage’s heritage, and open the ledge and brace door to find the double bedroom.
Here, a Velux window invites stargazing, complemented by a beam adding character, a dressing table, a mounted TV, and a wardrobe for storage.
The twin room, with its sloping ceiling and neat outlook over the front garden, offers a restful retreat with its own wardrobe.
Both rooms are carpeted for comfort, creating inviting spaces to unwind.
A bathroom with a bath and handheld shower, plus a cloakroom, completes the interior.
Step outside to the rear garden, where a patio with furniture provides the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening drinks, while the front garden’s lawn and gravel paths add to the charm.
Chaldon Herring is a small village situated 1.3 miles from Winfrith Newburgh within Dorset’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
It is situated in a valley inland of the coast which is a walking distance of approximately 1.5 miles.
The village has a Church and a popular pub serving food.
When you’re ready to explore, a traditional pub is just a short stroll away, and a local shop is within easy reach for those everyday essentials.
Beyond the doorstep, the Jurassic Coast promises unforgettable adventures.
Spend time at Lulworth Cove, where turquoise waters lap against a sweeping shingle beach, explore fossil-rich cliffs, and enjoy a seafood lunch overlooking the bay.
Just along the coast, Durdle Door offers an iconic limestone arch rising from the sea; take the cliff-top path for panoramic views, paddle in the sheltered cove, or capture that perfect photograph of this natural wonder.
For a change of pace, head to Dorchester, a historic market town brimming with character – wander through its Roman ruins, browse independent shops along quaint streets, and immerse yourself in local history at the county museum.
Bubbs Cottage is more than a place to stay; it’s a gateway to Dorset’s beauty, promising memorable days and relaxing nights in a setting that feels truly special.

What guests are saying
We were thoroughly delighted with Bubbs Cottage.
It was easy to find, clean and fresh inside, very welcoming. The quality of the linen and equipment was very good. The village is the place to totally relax with very good pubs in the area for food especially the Sailor's Return within easy walking distance from he cottage. Highly recommended.
Very comfortable cottage in a peaceful village with a great pub.
Nice private garden which is great if you have a dog. Well equipped kitchen for cooking at home. Comfortable furniture and powerful shower. Space is a little bigger than it looked from the photos. There’s a nice village green space in the village called God’s Pocket. It’s just across the road from the cottage and a nice place tho throw a ball or toy for the dog. Location is an 8 minute drive from Durdle Door or Lulworth Cove. Or, if you’re really adventurous, you could hike or run to the coast by nearby footpaths. Approx 5km each way.
Wonderful cottage, clean & comfortable.
Situated in a pretty village with a fabulous pub. Private parking is a bonus and a lovely little garden to enjoy the Dorset sunshine. We had a lovely holiday, knowhere is too far away, Lulworth Cove & Durdle Door just a couple of miles. Would happily recommend
