Strand Cottage is a much loved holiday cottage which dates back some 200 years. The charming Dorset cottage only gets more attractive with age, especially against the picturesque backdrop of Burton Bradstock village. National Trust Hive Beach and the award-winning Hive Beach Cafe are barely half a mile or a 10-minute walk from the door, providing you with access to the South West Coast Path and the stunning UNESCO Jurassic Coast. Within a short stroll are two friendly pubs, The Anchor and The Three Horseshoes, a village shop and a Post Office. Strand Cottage sleeps four people in two bedrooms and has room for an infant. It's ideal for a family escape or a romantic break in any season.
Burton Bradstock is an idyllic village. It's conveniently close to the beach and gives good access to the countryside, enabling you to experience everything that makes Dorset a favourite holiday destination. Bridport is less than three miles from the cottage (approximately an hour by foot along footpaths). It's a fantastic market town with bags of character and all the amenities you'll want for your self-catering holiday, including a busy market every Wednesday and Saturday. Bridport also has a local museum, a vibrant arts scene, and the popular Palmers Brewery, whose cask ales have been quenching thirst since 1794.
There is a huge choice of places to visit during your stay, no matter what time of year you visit. West Bay has two beaches - East Beach, where the impressive cliffs were used as a backdrop for the TV series Broadchurch, and sheltered West Beach, popular with families due to its shallow waters that are safe for paddling. Like many of the beaches of the Jurassic Coast, West Bay is as fun in winter as it is in summer. Go beach-combing and fossil hunting, warming up with a cup of steaming hot chocolate in a tea room after walking along the South West Coast Path. Walk to the peak of Golden Cap. At 191 metres above sea level, it is the highest point on the south coast. Your efforts will be rewarded with panoramic views and plenty of photo opportunities. Lyme Regis and Charmouth are two more fantastic destinations for a day out, or you can spend a leisurely few hours in Abbotsbury with its popular swannery and sub-tropical gardens. Weymouth, Portland and Dorchester are slightly further away but still within reach for a day out.
Attractions worth visiting within approximately an hour include Bovington Tank Museum, Lulworth Castle, Durdle Door, the steam train connecting Corfe Castle and Swanage, Studland Bay, Quarry Caves in Beer and country houses and gardens like those at Kingston Lacey, Barrington Court, and Forde Abbey.
Strand Cottage is sure to be exactly what you're looking for in your next holiday home. The garden is ideal for lazy summer barbecues, and there's nothing nicer than snuggling up in front of the gas-fired stove in the inglenook fireplace after a brisk walk in autumn and winter. Bookings are available all year round.
