“Great attention to detail has been paid to ensure complete comfort - beautiful Parker Knoll furniture, accommodates 9 seats.”

I think you need a photo online of both ends of Lilliput’s lounge to give it its full potential, high quality carpets, fantastic bed mattresses, support pillows and bed linen.

“Good location and great attention to detail to make you feel welcome and have a hassle-free stay.”

The garden is very pleasant and the lounge is very comfortable. The parking is awkward though and the layout of the cottage, although fine for two people, might be tricky for larger groups, especially as there isn’t a dishwasher! Most people who stayed before seemed to have eaten out a lot but that wasn’t so easy In April 2021 because of the lockdown easing rules. Nevertheless we have a lovely few days; great to be able to get out of London!

“The owners of the cottage were on site when we arrived and greeted us warmly.”

The cottage is so comfortable and airy. It is a beautiful, comfy cottage. And the owners had provided extras including dog biscuits for Jess our Springer spaniel. It has really nice gardens to back and front. We will most definitely return.

“Nice cottage in a quiet location, will book again in 2021, hopefully the local pub will be open then :-).”

Not too far for local beeches that we're dog friendly.

“Wonderful place”

My family and I have just returned from this absolutely beautiful cottage. It is situated in a lovely little village that is absolutely charming. The attention to detail is quite simply, amazing. There's good quality WiFi, 2 TV's, 2 bathrooms and a quite ample sized living room. The kitchen and dining room are very well equipped indeed and I personally was entrigued with the Poppy themed crockery. The bedrooms are lovely and again a good size. I must say that the local pub is a must visit and Bridport and West Bay are only 3-4 miles away. Overall, a fabulous place to stay and we will definitely be returning.

“A thoroughly charming cottage set in a beautiful garden.”

Extremely well equipped. There is just about everything you need for a restful break. Highly recommended. Only minor detail I would mention is that the bath is small. However, the shower was excellent. Stayed June 2018

Mrs Tracy Bagg Apr 2017

“Lilliput was a lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings.”

It was more than adequately equipped and suited our needs to a tee! We were a family of 5 adults meeting up for a long weekend over Easter and we had a great time. The village pub was staggering distance away and they were very accommodating, the sights of Dorset were all on the doorstep and the sea was minutes away. We were able to sit out in the garden, and although it wasn't quite warm enough to eat outside, the facilities were there. The lounge was bright and airy and a great size for a family. All in all, a winner! Stayed April 2017

The property

Lilliput is a charming detached holiday cottage tucked quietly away in the beautiful Dorset village of Shipton Gorge.

Just two miles from the stunning Jurassic coastline and surrounded by breath-taking countryside, this cottage is amazing base to explore Dorset on foot, by car or on the bus.

For those seeking an ideal country walking base or explorers of our rugged historic coastline to those who seek the peace and tranquillity of countryside and a slower pace of life – it’s a hidden gem.

Sleeping up to six people with three well furnished bedrooms it offers a comfortable hideaway from busy city life. With a sunny garden and terrace, stocked with beautiful plants and bird feeders you'll be sure to just sit back and relax and unwind whilst the birds dance on the feeders.

If you look in the guest book you will seek previous guests listing the bird visitors they have seen, and challenging following guests to do the same.

Once you have relaxed and feel ready to explore further afield, you will find picturesque village of Burton Bradstock with Hive Beach, West Bay with lovely harbour and market town of Bridport.

The property welcomes two well-behaved dogs and the owners are asking not to leave them unattended.

The nearby eating places such as The New Inn, The Anchor and Hive Beach Cafe are all dog friendly. Those looking for more adventure can have a little longer drive to Abbotsbury, the Isle of Portland, Weymouth, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door to the East, those venturing further West will find the tallest cliff in South coast - Golden Cap.

Charminster and Lyme Regis famous for their fossils are close by too.

All this makes Lilliput the perfect getaway at any time of the year for family or a group of friends.
