Property code: DC041

Stunning period property dating from the 1800s, benefitting from an array of period features, comfortable soft furnishings and all the latest modern conveniences.

This beautiful former dairy is located on the edge of the small hamlet of Coryates and has spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. Located a very short drive (4 miles) from the breath taking Abbotsbury Swannery which provides home to 600 mute swans (which you can feed if you attend at feeding time). The Swannery provided inspiration to ballerina Anna Pavlova when she was working on her movements for Swan Lake, and parts of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince were also filmed there.

To get into this beautiful property walk up a couple of steps and through the porch and you’ll find yourself in the wooden floored hall. This leads into the cosy living room with a large stone fireplace held up by the original beams complete with the latest technology and comfortable furnishings that perfectly combine both original and contemporary stylings. French doors then lead into a triple aspect dining room and access to the rear garden of the property – two steps down from the living room you will find the kitchen which comes complete with a induction hob, cooker, fridge, washing machine, microwave, freezer, dishwasher and radio adjacent to this room also enjoys triple aspect windows that allow plenty of natural light to enter. There is also a utility room, a downstairs bathroom and a bedroom complete with en-suite. Moving upstairs, there is a further three bedrooms all having the ceiling height reduced due to the eaves of the property. One of the bedrooms has an en-suite, and there is a conveniently placed shower room for use by the other guests.

The garden to the rear of the property faces south and is home to terraces and an area for a BBQ complete. Elsewhere there is a summer house and herbaceous border, the ideal place to relax during the day, catch a bit of the sun and enjoy a glass or two.

We stayed at Cowleaze Cottage over the February half term and whilst the weather was pretty awful, the break was great because of the delightful cottage. It is has everything you would want from a country cottage for both the winter (open fireplace) and summer (fantastic garden), well equipped kitchen, 3 bathrooms, very large and comfortable livingRead more room with 2 areas to sit (in front of the fireplace or in front of the TV). The bedrooms are spacious and the beds very comfortable. We wil be back ! Hide

This house is a summer destination. We found it cold. You are supplied a limited number of logs and the log burner is key to making the house warm. There is limited information - none on where to source more logs. The heating in the bedroom never worked even though we reported it and was promised action. The coffee was out of date.

Really lovely cottage with very comfortable beds and a cosy feel with wood burner. But also good central heating so no need to be cold. Kitchen well equipped. Secure garden for dogs and room for parking 3 cars off road. The period we were there it was extremely wet although we still managed to find walks across muddy fields via public rights of wayRead more. Twenty mins drive from the cottage we found Thorncombe Wood local nature reserve which was really good for dogs. All in all a restful peaceful week Hide

This a great property with lots of space a lovely garden and lots of equipment. The plumbing not great for people who like hot showers. The approach roads are not for the for the faint hearted. There is a barbecue not mentioned in the house details so did not use. Not obvious how you disposed of the ash which was left by previous guests. Tea towelsRead more hidden in a cupboard upstairs. Kings Arms well worth a visit for dinner. Hide
