Overview
Description
A large private annexe of a country cottage in beautiful West Dorset.Dorset Croft sits in the heart of stunning West Dorset countryside (Dorset AONB). This idyllic setting still allows you to easily reach everything you will want, to enjoy your country holiday exactly as you wish.
The Dorset Croft holiday let is a spacious and bright first floor annexe with its own parking, entrance and roof terrace area. There are views to the countryside from all windows and plenty of space to relax and get comfortable. The bedroom has a kingsize bed and an external door that takes you to the roof deck – a lovely spot for breakfast or an evening glass of something whilst you look at the stars and listen to the owls. The whole property is recently refurbished and provides lovely holiday accommodation for you, maybe with your dog (2 dogs max), to enjoy the wonderful countryside and coast we are so lucky to have.
You might have spent the day out walking the network of paths we have crossing West Dorset or enjoying the challenge of the South West Coast Path. Cyclists can lose themselves in the lanes that wind their way across West Dorset and into Devon. Walkers and cyclists alike can take off straight from the door and at the end of the day dog walkers and cyclists have a spot to wash down outside with a ‘BikeTrap’ secure bike storage point for the cyclists peace of mind and a waterproof dog bed for your dog to ease out of the days exertions.
For the days when you want a destination you could head to Lyme Regis, Forde Abbey, West Bay, Charmouth for fossil hunting, Abbotsbury Swannery for the signets in Spring, Mapperton House, local vineyards or cider farms and very many more lovely and varied places.
Wherever you have spent your day, you can prepare your well earned dinner in the full sized kitchen, or alternatively Beaminster and Bridport, where there are many pubs, bars, cafes and restaurants, are just a few miles away. The New Inn pub in Stoke Abbott village has re-opened.
Dorset Croft has the Jubilee Trail crossing its land and so walkers can get straight on this and head for the nearby Lewesdon Hill and Pilsdon Pen – the two highest points in Dorset which have the most fantastic views. From Pilsdon Pen the view encompasses almost the entire Dorset coast from Portland to Lyme Bay. For a hattrick of Dorset high spots, Golden Cap is the highest point on the South Coast with gorgeous views along the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.

By Michael on 23-Apr-2025We had a wonderful stay. It is in an idyllic location and a lovely thatched cottage with a fully equipped private patio. Gareth and Suzanne are very nice and friendly and helpful. We plan to return.

By Art on 17-Apr-2025Gareth was quick to respond to queries beforehand. The arrival instructions were clear and we bumped into him on arrival. He was welcoming but respectful of our privacy. The place was spacious and well presented, with good information on local attractions and about the appliances there. It is in an unspoilt part of Dorset within easy reach of Bridport and the coast. The weather was good and we were able to relax on the private outdoor patio. All in all, just the relaxing few days we needed !

By Dom on 13-May-2025What a find. I wanted something quiet and peaceful and it turned out to be perfect. The flat/apartment is built on top of the main house but with separate entrance. You wouldn’t know anyone else was there with a fantastic sun trap of a patio. I had my own parking and came as I pleased. If you want a great base with local walking it’s perfect. Small trip into Waitrose in Bridport or fresh fish at Lyme Regis. Lovely restaurant Brassica in Beaminster. Everything close by but a car is needed. Hosts were great and leave you just to relax and soak up the lovely setting. If you want to relax and get away from it then it was pretty perfect. Even an outdoor table and pizza oven. Internet all worked but TV is only digital so not an issue as I was aware but something to consider if you want PRIME or NETFLIX. Otherwise has everything you could want. Even sheep in the fields adjacent to the property to add to the experience. Nearest pub a couple of miles in Beaminster. Thoroughly recommended
Tranquil heaven
By Paul Regan on 27-Feb-2025What a jewel Doeset Croft is. Nestled on a south face hill we enjoyed the sun for mist of the day. Inside the double bedded cottage which is all in a single level I'd equipped to a very high standard. The welcome package was great and our old dog was well catered for. It is ideally situated for those who want to do a bit if hiking or explore the many attractions in the area. The owners are really lovely and gave us our own space. However, when I burnt the toast and set off the alarm they came around immediately. The location is also well situated for a complete getaway. Come prepared with all your provisions and leave the world behind. All the admin associated with the booking was first class.

By Albert on 02-Nov-2024What a wonderful experience! We absolutely loved the peaceful location and rural surroundings. The perfect stay if you want to get away from it all yet a pub in 15 minute walk and a shop 2 miles down the lane. Perfect hosts and a fantastic stay! The dog loved his complimentary treats and his owners loved the cider and oatmeal biscuits! Just the thing after a long day of hill walking or beachcombing. Probably one of the best places to stay, we will definitely be back!
