About this property
This quaint holiday cottage rests in the popular coastal village of Burton Bradstock in Dorset. With exceptional period features, including wooden beams and inglenook fireplace dating back to the 16th century, Dormouse is a quintessential village cottage in an ideal location for both country and coastal lovers. A charming, well-equipped cottage style kitchen, and a snug sitting room complete with dining table for three invites you to prepare and enjoy a romantic meal, whilst the enclosed patio area is the perfect secluded area to sit and enjoy a drink. When you’re ready, head out to explore Burton Bradstock and visit the famous Hive beach café or savour a meal in one of the local pubs.

It has been thoughtfully resourced and decorated. Also very clean. There is a window seat that you can watch the world go by or read a book there if you prefer. There are a lot of good walks nearby and places to visit as well as the Jurassic coast bus if you feel like giving the car a break. We enjoyed having lunch in a moment of sunshine in the back garden and there are pubs nearby as well as a post office/ village shop as well as a shop in the garage if needed. We would gladly return.

The cottage is warm and cosy and the bed is very comfortable. The kitchen is compact, but had everything we needed and the bathroom now has a new shower, which was nice. I loved sitting on the window seat, watching the world go by. We have stayed in Burton Bradstock a few times,.it is one of our favourite places. There are 2 good pubs in the village and 2 shops. Our favourite place is Hive Beach, we ate at the Hive Beach Cafe a few times and it never disappoints.
