Cobblers Cottage
Description
Abbotsbury 5 miles; Weymouth 5.5 miles; Portland 9.4 miles; Dorchester 9.9 miles; Portesham 3 miles. Cobblers Cottage was built around 1750 and is one of the oldest thatched cottages in the small hamlet of Langton Herring, situated on the Jurassic Coast and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village is off the beaten track, very quiet and a haven for walkers. Fully renovated and well equipped but retaining its traditional features such as wooden beams and the inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove, the cottage has a living room, separate dining room, kitchen, downstairs bathroom & WC and 2 bedrooms, the master bedroom having an en-suite shower room and WC. Outside, there is a patio with a table and a large lawned garden with tables and benches and a view over fields (sometimes with sheep grazing). It’s a short walk through the fields to The Fleet Lagoon, a tranquil inlet behind Chesil Beach where at low tide you might find fossils on the shore. The South West Coastal Path for longer walks is beside the Fleet Lagoon and, for the children, there is an enclosed play area next to the village green.
For people with limited mobility please be aware there are 2 steps up from the living room to the kitchen and 4 steps from the patio to the garden. Stairs to the bedrooms are straight with a banister. Also, watch your head on the low beam in the en-suite shower in the master bedroom. Note that Shop Lane is too narrow for parking outside cottage (except to unload) but there is unrestricted parking in the lane immediately opposite the cottage anywhere along the left side (next to stone wall) or ask the landlady of The Elm Tree if you can park in the pub car park.

Dear Sam and Jamie, thank you for a wonderful stay at Cobblers Cottage.
Such a gorgeous cottage in a perfect location. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Thank you
Another lovely holiday in Dorset and Cobblers cottage.
Langton Herring is a true gem, a short drive in either direction to Weymouth or Dorchester. Cobblers cottage is a genuine home from home.
This is a fabulous cosy cottage in the beautiful village of Langton Herring.
The weather was very hot during our stay, but thanks to the thick stone walls the cottage stayed relatively cool which was great for us and our two dogs. The kitchen equipment is a bit basic if you are a keen cook - I had to purchase a sauté pan so I could make basic meals like risotto and spaghetti bolognese. I have left it there for others to use and I am sure we will stay again. The pub, the Elm Tree Inn, is literally on the doorstep and is owned and run by the locals. Please support the pub during your stay - the food is fantastic and has a great selection of drinks. Just a warning to anyone who doesn't like bugs, the cottage is home to a large colony of woodlice. This didn't bother me but some might not like them!
