Downstairs:

• Entry is via steps onto the private Mediterranean style veranda, unique for a Dorset coastal cottage and gives the property a luxurious useable indoor/outdoor space that is perfect for alfresco dining in this wonderful coastal location. The veranda has tables and chairs for 6 people to enjoy the spectacular views of the Sea and Jurassic landscape. A wonderful spot to enjoy leisurely family meals or watch the sunset over Golden Cap. Despite the many fine local pubs and eateries, guests report that their favourite and most memorable meals and drinks are those taken on the private cottage veranda watching the Sea, wildlife and sunset over Golden Cap.
• The veranda leads into the well equipped cottage kitchen - a welcoming space where guests naturally want to sit around the solid oak table and admire sea views and Golden Cap through the glazed doors. The age of the property is apparent in the exposed beams and thick stone walls, but the integrated Bosch appliances and dimmer lighting switches are very much of the 21st Century, and the kitchen is an enjoyable place in which to cook – the reflection of the Sea can be seen on the oven door! A welcome hamper includes Dorset tea and Dorset Cereal, and many other goodies to make a light meal or snack so you can put the kettle on as soon as you arrive.
• The separate Sitting room with comfy sofas begging you to ease back and put your feet up in front of the log burner (logs are supplied). Glazed French doors also open up from the sitting room onto the veranda and the incredible views, doubling the wonderful space for relaxing and socialising.
