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 (1 dog 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.
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.
EV charging is available at 40p/kWh (subject to change, please ask if you would like to use it), payable before departure; type 2 tethered connection.

By Peter on 12-Aug-2026We had a fantastic stay here. It is such a peaceful place - the roof terrace is a great place to sit and enjoy the sound of the birds and the stream. The interior is spacious and comfortable. The location is good - it’s very easy to get down to the coast and to other destinations inland. I would highly recommend this place.

By Roy Clayton on 17-Jul-2026Just returned from a week at Dorset Croft. It's a perfect base far from the madding crowd. The owners were friendly and provided lots of useful information on the area and some welcome treats for us as well as the dog. The beautiful thatched cottage was ultra clean and very private. The roof space was a great sun trap and a good place to survey the local countryside. We even saw deer in the fields around the Croft. The bedroom was huge and there was a bath and shower. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. We visited Weymouth, Lyme Regis, Dudle Door, Lulworth Cove, Corfe Castle, Swanage and walked Hells Lane. Charmouth and West Bay were great spots for the dog to swim. All were easily accessible from Stoke Abbott. The two main pubs in Beaminster are dog friendly.. The local village pub was closed but recommend the pub Hare and Hounds near Netherbury. This was a great value for money location highly recommended.

By Simon on 13-Sep-2025Scenic and secluded. A great base for exploring west Dorset. Gareth and Suzanne were very welcoming and the flat was spacious and well equipped for our stay. Loved the outdoor space for enjoying the sun and stargazing.

By Dom on 08-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
