About this property

Delightful thatched cottage in beautiful sleepy Dorset village and countryside

Yoah Cottage has been lovingly refurbished to provide a comfortable & cosy stay. Yoah still boosts many original character with exposed beams & brickwork. The cottage is situated in the sleepy Dorset village of West Knighton, with the added bonus of family-owned pub next door. Yoah sleeps up to 9 guests, with 5 bedrooms compromising of 3 king size bedrooms, 1 twin room, plus a single bedroom downstairs. Plenty of parking with a garden to enjoy.

Welcome cooked family meals are available to pre-order, these are freshly prepared by the pub chefs so why not have a Cottage Pie or Thai Vegetable Curry or Lasagne or Fish Pie waiting for you when you arrive to just heat up, with a chilled glass of wine or two already waiting in the fridge. You could order a meal for every night so no hassle finding the local shop or cooking!!

Meals are made in a traditional family oven dish, and serve 6 standard portions, they will be left in the fridge for your arrival and cost £25 each, wine can be pre-ordered to, with Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot white wine, Merlot and Malbec in red, these are £15 a bottle, and must be pre-ordered by email.

West Knighton is a great base for many countryside walks, and a short drive to the Jurassic Coast and if needed many many family attractions.

TV, DVD, sheets & towels provided.
