    Thanks so much for making us feel welcome in your special house!

    - Kate, July 2025

    And many thanks to you Kate for your very generous comments. We hope you will return to Cobblers Cottage soon. And next time you will find The Elm Tree Inn opposite the cottage is open again. The villagers have raised over £500,000 to buy it since it closed down and re-opening is scheduled for mid July. With thanks and kind regards, Sam & Jamie (owners) Property Owner

The property

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 Barnes Wallis tested his famous ‘bouncing bomb’ prior to the Dambuster's Raid in World War 2.

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 further up Shop Lane in the lay-by on the right.

A holiday at Cobblers Cottage promises an unforgettable Dorset experience at every turn.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

About the location

LANGTON HERRING

Weymouth 5 miles.

Langton Herring is a charming, rural coastal village in the West Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is tucked away from main roads behind the brow of a hill that overlooks The Fleet Lagoon which lies behind the famous Chesil Beach – an 18 metre high bank of stones and shingle which is a World Heritage Site and also known as the Jurassic Coast.

It’s a 5 minute drive to both Duck’s Farm Shop and Café in Portesham or the mini supermarket in Chickerell.

And a short drive to Chesil Beach at Abbotsbury which also has The Swannery, The Tropical Gardens and the Children’s Play Barn. The traditional seaside town of Weymouth is also a short drive away with its exceptional sandy beach and many other attractions notably the old harbour. And Burton Bradstock (with the famous Hive Beach Café on Chesil Beach) is not far.

A little further afield are Portland Bill lighthouse, Dorchester, King Charles’s new but architecturally traditional village of Poundbury, West Bay, Bridport and Lyme Regis.

The Elm Tree Inn which is immediately opposite Cobblers Cottage closed in 2023 but the Langton Herring villagers have raised over £500,000 to buy the pub for the village and, subject to recruiting a tenant manager, hope to reopen it this summer (2025). In the meantime there are good pubs with food in nearby Portesham and Chickerell.

Or you can just enjoy the quiet in the garden of a traditional English cottage and evenings around the woodburning stove.
