“We loved the cottage.”

It's a beautiful, well kept place in the quiet countryside and close to the wonderful Jurassic coastline and abundance of walks in the area. The location is wonderfully secluded but close enough to small villages and towns for amenities and some very good local pubs. Our only gripe was that the water was not hot in the shower, but aside from that the cottage was very comfortable and clean.

Thank you for your lovely words about Stables Cottage. We are sorry to hear that you had an issue with the water in the shower, we would have been more than happy to investigate this issue for you if you had informed us during your stay. It is possible a hot water switch in the property may have been switched off. We do hope it was not too much of an inconvenience, and we hope we can welcome you back in the future. Owner relations

“Lovely cottage, very secluded with superb views.”

It had everything we needed, and was in a good location to explore west Dorset. Stayed May 2017

“This holiday exceeded our expectations.”

Don't feel enough emphasis is placed upon stunning/breathtaking views which are accessible directly from the cottage. Bliss to be hidden away with only the sound of the sheep bleating.Nice that the owner took trouble to welcome us on arrival and check that all was ok.

“Very good, modern cottage.”

Everything we needed, lovely views. Might not have been suitable for 4 adults (but we were only 2). Our dog could go too which was great

“The lady I booked the cottage through (Abi) was so helpful, gave me info about the cottage, where to visit and eat in the surrounding areas.”

She was great. The cottage was wonderful, I didn't want to leave. It is exactly as advertised, but the surrounding area was just great. It was light, spacious and peaceful. Although totally rural, it is close to lots of places worth visiting

The property

Stables Cottage is a delightful conversion that incorporates many traditional features, is located next to the owner’s home a mile away from the wonderful village of Long Bredy. Most noticeable are the beautiful beams in the full height open plan living area with dining table for four and well-equipped kitchen, the beautiful wood burner takes centre stage to create a cosy and homely feeling.

All accommodation being on one level, it is suitable for guests with mobility impairment and the property has been awarded the Mobility Impairment M2 award by Visit England. Hang your coats in the lobby after a walk amongst the beautiful countryside that surrounds the area, or a brisk walk to the nearby town of Little Bredy with gorgeous church and lake and Littlebredy walled gardens. Tucked away behind the farm house in its own private and secluded spot, the lovely terrace is a delightful sun trap, perfect for relaxing with a good book and a glass of something delicious.

The eye-catching country views and a secret swing seat has the best views across to the coast line, another perfect spot for just relaxing and enjoying the bird song and Dorset countryside.

Having relaxed into countryside life you may decide you want to experience all that a visit to the coast offers.

Stables cottage is ideally placed being just a short drive from the Jurassic coastline and several vibrant towns and villages, including Burton Bradstock, Hive Beach and West Bay.

The towns of Bridport and Dorchester aren't far away either. West Bay is gorgeous with crumbling golden cliffs of sand and a beach, a perfect place to spend the day.

The beautiful and tallest cliff on the South coast called Golden cap is just a short walk away too. If you want to explore further afield, the Isle of Portland, Chesil beach and Weymouth are a short drive to the East, Charmouth and Lyme Regis to the West.

Lyme Regis is famous for fossil hunting, have a go at finding a souvenir to bring home! The nearest pub from the property is in Litton Cheney village offering traditional foods and drinks for all the family to enjoy.

There are plenty of options in every village towards Bridport or Weymouth, the choice is yours. The market town of Bridport with many shops and restaurants and a market offering fresh local produce is a short drive away from the property.

To the East you have a beautiful seaside town of Weymouth with a big events programme throughout the year, and a sandy beach with shallow waters, ideal for kids. Stables Cottage really is the perfect rural retreat for couples or a small family.

The Market town of Bridport is only 5 miles away where you can find all the amenities you need including many independent cafes and restaurants. Abbotsbury is under 5 miles away and has much to offer, from Tropical gardens to the Swannery bird reserve. If that wasn’t enough the village is chocolate box pretty and filled with local artists and craftsmen who have their own shops to explore.
