Hogchester Cottage is situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is only one mile from the sea at Charmouth.
It is ideally located for exploring Lyme Regis, Axminster and the beautiful surrounding Dorset and Devon countryside and Jurassic Coast.The idyllic cottage is perfect for sinking into simple living. Whether you choose to relax in front of the cosy wood-burner in the chilly winter evenings or unwind in the pretty rose covered terrace on a summer afternoon, Hogchester Cottage is a haven in all seasons.
During your stay you are invited to meet our friendly animals (nosey guinea fowl Hiliary & Fenton will say hello through your kitchen window!), collect fresh chicken eggs, and to explore Hogchester's 60 acres of private land. Taste fresh fruit in our orchard, spot the wild ducks and tadpoles in the ponds, enjoy a picnic under the huge oak tree, and visit the fields we are converting into traditional wildflower meadows. In the evening why not light one of the hurricane lanterns and take an outdoor adventure to hunt for bats and owls?ACCOMMODATION DETAILS
