Property code: DC194

Escape to a peaceful pocket of Dorset with this charming home-from-home that’s full of original features.

At the end of the lane, a bridleway leads to the privately-owned pebble and shingle beach at Seatown, popular among fossil collectors, fishermen and families alike.

Heading through the lounge you will come into a traditional farmhouse-style kitchen/dining room features stone flooring, a Belfast sink, bespoke units, oak worktops and a door opening onto the garden. The kitchen/diner is equipped with everything you should need for preparing tasty family meals, including an electric oven and hob, fridge with ice compartment, microwave and dishwasher. There is also a washing machine. Upstairs are two well-presented bedrooms, one light and airy king-size room with a wrought-iron bed, original floorboards and TV/DVD, the other bedroom is a twin with an original cottage window and slightly reduced height in the eaves. Completing he first floor is the bathroom which has a bath with overhead shower and WC.

Stepping outside is a wonderful cottage garden which has been beautifully planted with colourful shrubs, trees and flowers. There is a lawn area and a garden table and chairs for enjoying al fresco meals and drinks in the summer months. There is off-road parking for one car.

This is a beautiful thatched cottage, full of character and very well equipped in a fantastic location just a short walk from the lovely shingle beach at Seatown. There are lots of interesting areas to visit in the locality so it makes a lovely, warm, comfortable base from which to explore the Jurassic coast.

This is a lovely cottage. It's snug and just how a country cottage should be. The location is excellent for driving along the Dorset coast or inland, or indeed along and into Devon. Similarly it's perfect for local walks, either to Seatown and the coastal path, or along many footpaths. If you drive here then practice reversing into the parking placRead moree which is awkwardly situated if you have to exit backwards, but it just adds to the fun. Would I come back to this cottage? Definitely. Hide

Delightful and well equipped cottage, oodles of character. Superb selection of books, games and dvds. Comfortable beds. Archetypal cottage garden is well maintained and secluded, a delight to sit out in on a sunny day. Having its own gated parking area is a definite bonus. Little touches like binoculars and bird spotting books were very useful.

Trimm cottage was beautiful. Really well equipped and comfortable. Perfectly located. Yes, the parking is a bit awkward, but we found that reversing from the park gate, up the lane and backing into the space was easier (well, my partner did..I didnt attempt it!)

Trimm cottage is in a very good location, a short walk to the beach (10-15 minutes) has the advantage of off street parking at the rear of the cottage which is gated, this is an advantage over other cottages in a narrow lane which can be busy in the summer high season. The garden has two seating areas, a small patio area top of the garden and a tabRead morele and chairs at the the end of the garden which is good for the evening sun. The garden is secure so is ideal for dogs. Quiet & peaceful which ideal. Hide

2nd stay. VERY clean and comfy. Fully equipped and great location etc. Only problem was reversing out of tight parking space but at least it is off road and the neighbours allowed us to turn in their space which helped my husband. Lastly, a WONDERFUL selection of videos and games. Thanks for wine and biscuits.
