    “The post code didn't go to the cottage.”

    The sign for the cottages was covered up by follage.We couldn't find the Fox pub as it doesn't exsist anymore. TV instructions didn't work so had to ring up Dream Cottages to get somebody out. Then he repaired bathroom sink as didn't retain any water. Hook on back of bathroom door hung off. No instructions for use of cooker or micro wave found.

    Thank you for your valuable feedback. The postcode covers the area, the specific travel directions to reach the property are emailed to guests before their stay. The Sly Fox Pub is currently closed for renovations, we will update our information to reflect this. I'm glad our property managers could attend to the TV issues and bathroom sink. We will update our welcome pack to include appliance instructions, thank you for highlighting this. We'd love to welcome you back to Weymouth again, Dream Cottages Property Owner

The property

Offering an exceptional self-catering holiday experience in the beautiful Dorset countryside and coast is Laurel Cottage, which can be found at the heart of the village of Osmington.

This superb detached property enjoys plenty of character, as well as contemporary features and furnishings, and is a wonderful place for a couple or small family who want to explore this part of the country.

Soak up your surroundings of the pretty village before pushing open the front door to discover the immaculate open-plan living room, home to everything you could possibly need; make use of the quality kitchen appliances to chef up your own delicious meals before settling down with your partner at the dining table to pop open a bottle of bubbly to toast to a long-awaited holiday together.

Afterwards, relax and unwind into your evening by sinking into the sofa and flicking through the channels of the TV.

Once the evening has drawn to a close, make your way up the spiral stairs to find a plush double bed, where you can catch up on rest, while along the landing you will find a single bed and a family bathroom where you can enjoy a long and relaxing soak in the bath.

During the summer months, take advantage of the good weather and head out onto the decking area which is private with a glass of wine, soaking up your quaint setting.

Stroll through the village and admire the picturesque views and chocolate-box cottages, while the nearby hamlet of Osmington Mills boasts access to the iconic South West Coast Path, as well as being known for its history of smugglers, with its local inn, The Smugglers Inn, dating back to the 13th century and boasting outdoor seating and delicious food.

Craig's Farm Dairy, tea room and farm shop is very close to the property and is perfect for picking up breakfast ingredients or treating yourself to an ice cream.

The seaside town of Weymouth is four miles away, offering a wide selection of bars, restaurants and shops, as well as a three-mile stretch of glorious sandy beach, ideal for an afternoon stroll, while a range of traditional seaside entertainment can also be discovered, including donkey rides, fun fair and crazy golf.

Venture east along the coast towards the unique Lulworth Cove to enjoy a day at the sheltered shingle beach, while a short walk will bring you to Durdle Door, where you can admire the stunning views over the coastline and unusual geological rock formations.

Head west along the coast and come to the traditional market town of Bridport, where you can explore the shops and pick up some delicious fresh local produce at the weekly market.

Visit the harbour and pretty beach at West Bay, backed by incredible cliffs, providing a scenic backdrop to a coastal walk.

Laurel Cottage is a perfect cottage from which to explore the Dorset coast and countryside.

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.
