Eight Maids a Milking,Chilcombe,Dorset,United Kingdom

Description

(Reference number: 141248) One of ten cosy and comfortable self-catered cottages that offer unparalleled access to the often-overlooked jewel of Dorset's Jurassic coast, this one-bedroom cottage is set within 20 acres of unspoiled countryside, evoking a feeling of 19th-century rural life that featured so prominently in Thomas Hardy's famous novels. Step inside this former farm building, and you'll be greeted by an elegantly simple interior, with a cosy seating area set around a coal-effect electric fireplace, a dining area behind, and the kitchen disappearing around the corner. Climb a single step up to the bedroom and gaze across Bride Valley to the coast. Follow your nose towards the sea, and you'll encounter plenty of picturesque beaches within a short drive, including Hive Beach and its popular cafe, where you can sip a post-beach-stroll coffee or tuck into a mouthwatering seasonal menu looking out over Lyme Bay and Chesil Beach. Continue east, and you'll find yourself in the pretty seaside resort of Lyme Regis, while the Blue Flag beaches of Weymouth and the iconic Durdle Door are in the opposite direction. Closer to home, there are woodland walks and free fishing on the boating lake, while horse riding and local gold courses are within easy reach. If the weather isn't up to much, then there's a well-equipped games room that will keep you entertained on even the rainiest of afternoons. Finally, an extensive library of books and DVDs means you can relax in the comfort of your own cottage.
