About this property
Whatley Cottage, Rural Retreat. Pet Friendly.
Whatley Cottage is perfectly situated for a peaceful, rural holiday for couples. Nestled deep in the rolling Dorset countryside, enjoy the peace of the beautiful, rural position, while still being only a short walk from the bustling town centre of Beaminster. Just a 20 minute drive will take you to Bridport and West Bay, the heart of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage site.
Perfect for year round use with a large outdoor dining area and a log burner inside for the colder months. With almost zero amounts of light and sound pollution, Whatley is the perfect location for star gazing and listening to the wildlife.
The space
The main entrance to the cottage is by 4 steps and then through a double door and into the main kitchen and dining area of the cottage. The ground level of the cottage is traditional stone flooring with a rug in the living room and a log burner. There is also central heating throughout the cottage and heated towel rails in the bathroom. A carpeted staircase leads to the bathroom and bedroom on the first floor. The bed is a king size. Both the bathroom and bedroom have solid wood floors, with a large rug in the bedroom.
Guest access
Within easy walking distance of Beaminster town centre where you can hop on a bus into Bridport and then onto the wider Dorset area and just a 15 minute drive/from Crewkerne Railway station and 30 minutes from either Dorchester or Axminster stations.
Other things to note
The property is accessed through a gate and then down 4 wide steps with a hand rail into the cottage.
