Weymouth, Dorset and Somerset

3 Bedroom Bed in Portesham (DC181)

Full of history and owned by the same family for five generations, this 19th-century cottage and former sweet shop has been lovingly extended and refurbished. Set on the main route through Portesham, it is just a short stroll from the local pub and shop and only 2.5 miles from the stunning Dorset coastline and the expansive Chesil Beach. Back at the cottage, the character accommodation features an open fire in the snug and spacious beamed kitchen with French doors to a delightful walled patio garden. Step inside through this property’s back door into the fantastic double aspect kitchen, which boasts a high vaulted ceiling with exposed trusses, range oven, American-style fridge/freezer for stocking up for the whole trip and large French doors opening onto the garden. Once prepared, the charming dining room with farmhouse table, window shutters and original display cabinets make a delightful place to enjoy family meals. Ideal for multi-generational parties, this property offers both a snug with open fire and a spacious lounge with leather sofas. In the summer, dine al fresco in the pretty courtyard at the rear, which leads to a lawn bordered by mature trees and shrubs. There is ample parking. Ideally located in the beautiful village of Portesham, this cottage is just 200 yards from a hearty meal at the local pub and 400 yards from a great farm shop with cafe. Beyond the village lie miles of unspoilt Dorset countryside just waiting to be explored, while 2.5 miles to the south is the fantastic 18-mile-long dog-friendly Chesil Beach that stretches all the way to West Bay (10 miles) to the west and the Isle of Portland to the east (11 miles). Bridport, a vibrant town full of small shops is also worth a visit (12 miles).

The Old Sweet Shop is a dog friendly holiday cottage.
