Located in the charming village of West Knighton in Dorset, this classic cob cottage is part of a row of four thatched cottages on a rural village road. The cottage sleeps 5 people in 3 bedrooms, including a double, a twin, and a small single with reduced height at the eaves. Pets are allowed in this property, making it a great option for families looking to bring their furry friends along on vacation.
The cottage retains many original features, with a beamy sitting/dining room, a well-equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, and a bathroom with a bath and shower. Outside, there is a secluded garden with shrub borders, a wooden fence, a greenhouse, and owner's garden sheds. Parking is available on the village street, and guests are just a 2-minute walk from the local pub, The New Inn.
For added convenience, guests can pre-order welcome cooked family meals prepared by the pub chefs. These meals, such as Cottage Pie, Thai Vegetable Curry, Lasagne, or Fish Pie, can be heated up upon arrival, along with pre-ordered wine. The area offers plenty of countryside walks, easy access to the Jurassic Coast, and various family attractions, including local beaches like Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door, and Weymouth.
West Knighton itself is a delightful village with an 11th-century church and a village pub. The area is perfect for walking, with comprehensive footpaths and bridleways over the surrounding countryside and along the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline. The cottage also includes amenities such as a TV, DVD player, WiFi, sheets, and a garden, making it a comfortable and convenient choice for a relaxing vacation in the South West of England.
