“Amenities not within walking distance.”

You need a car.

You need a car.

- Mr Limb, September 2020
Mr O'connor September 2020

“Positives: Functional, tidy and well decorated.”

Good location for exploring by car. Good Internet (I ran a 2 hour Zoom meeting with no problems) and TV signal. Negatives: Dismal garden lacks TLC. Master bed sags in the middle. No shaver/electric toothbrush point. Situated beside busy main road with regular road noise. Not close to village, pubs or shops. Car a must have to go anywhere.

“With most pubs and restaurants only giving you 90 minutes to dine it was necessary to return to the cottage early on most evenings.”

Unfortunately the internet service was poor and the tv only got a signal on two days. The rest of the holiday we couldn’t watch the tv. Other than that the cottage is lovely. Sort out the TV and upgrade the internet and it would be 5 stars all of the way.

“Warm, cosy, comfortable cottage, immaculately decorated.”

Convenient location for accessing the coast and local attractions. Rural location but expect some traffic noise as next to A road. Highly recommended.

The property

This traditional semi-detached thatched cottage has been completely and carefully renovated and sits proudly behind two wooden green gates.

In the village of Poxwell, situated on the A353, it's ideally placed for exploring both the Dorset coast and County town of Dorchester, which is just 6 miles away.

In through the cottage door leads you to the kitchen, which has lots of lovely work space for creating some scrumptious dinners, the sitting dining room is bright, comfortable and turns into a cosy evening oasis when the electric flame effect fire is turned on.

Upstairs are two relaxing cottage bedrooms.

After a busy day exploring, come back and relax with a nice drink in the large cottage garden with views over the fields.

Craig's dairy is just a short drive away and offers essentials of milk and bread, for other local amenities, the County town of Dorchester is just a short 6-mile drive away, and you can find all your high street favourites here.

A 15-minute drive to the west is the seaside town of Weymouth, with it's award winning golden sanded beach, military history and traditional seaside vibe.

You can also explore Lulworth Cove and Durdle door, both are UNESCO world heritage sites, offer spectacular views, and coast path walks.

Only a 20-minute drive away they are a must see!

Why not spend a day at Monkey world where you can learn all about their rescued monkeys and the work they do all over the world.

Honeysuckle Cottage is perfectly placed for you to explore much of the South Dorset coastal area.

About the location

OSMINGTON

Osmington village, sits on the Jurassic coastline of Dorset, just 6 miles from Weymouth with it’s infamous beach and historic harbour and just 11 miles from Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Home to the famous Chalk hillside carving of George III on horseback, cut into the hillside to commemorate the Royal visits to Weymouth, this landmark can be seen from miles away. It is also the place that John Constable spent his honeymoon in 1816 and where he completed his painting of Weymouth Bay that now hangs in the National Gallery. The South West Coastal path runs through Osmington Mills, a tiny hamlet on the edge of Osmington. Here many walkers start their coast path walks at the Smugglers inn, where reputedly there are historic connections to smuggling. Be sure to visit to find out all the stories. A short drive will see you reach a local convenience store at Preston. Weymouth offers a larger variety of shopping, eating and entertainment choices.
