Honeypot Cottage

About this property

Honeypot Cottage is a charming, single‑storey, stone‑built barn conversion resting within the peaceful Berehayes Farm in Whitchurch Canonicorum, offering a welcoming base for three guests seeking a relaxing countryside retreat. Perfect for couples, small families or friends, this delightful abode features a double bedroom alongside a single room, while being pet‑friendly so your four‑legged companion can join the adventure. Stepping inside, the cottage presents a bright and characterful open‑plan living area beneath a striking vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. Here you can unwind on the leather sofas, enjoy the glow of the woodburning stove, or settle in front of the Smart TV after a day exploring the Dorset landscape.

The country‑style kitchen is well‑equipped for your self‑catered stay, complete with ample preparation space and a dedicated dining area, while the modern bathroom offers a spacious walk‑in shower. Outside, the property is surrounded by a lovely communal courtyard, with access to an on-site swimming pool complex available during school holidays. An allocated parking space is provided in the shared car park. A welcome pack for your arrival ensures a great start to your holiday and will include milk, tea and a selection of locally sourced produce and treats. Whitchurch Canonicorum enjoys a tranquil setting on the edge of the Marshwood Vale, surrounded by picturesque countryside within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The village is home to a pub, church and village hall, while the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and Golden Cap are just a short journey away. Nearby Charmouth is perfect for discovering fossils, coastal walks and rock pooling, and offers a Heritage Coast Centre, cafés and friendly pubs. A little further, Lyme Regis presents sandy beaches, boutique shops, galleries and its iconic Cobb harbour, ideal for days by the sea or unforgettable coastal rambles. For local produce and treats, Felicity’s Farm Shop offers an excellent selection just moments from your doorstep. With Dorset’s countryside, coastline and characterful villages close at hand, Honeypot Cottage promises a delightful base for a memorable West Country escape.

Referred to as the capital of the Marshwood Vale, Whitchurch Canonicorum is an attractive mix of farms and cottages. Whitchurch Canonicorum is where you can find the very ancient church of St. Candida and the Holy Cross. It is unique in being the only parish church in England to contain the remains of an ancient saint. There is a well nearby, also named after the Saint, which is also rumoured to have similar healing properties. The attractive market town of Bridport grew up around the River Brit and was shaped by its extensive history of rope and net making. The long, wide streets and alleyways between the houses were once where the flax strands were twisted into rope, while today those streets are filled with an interesting variety of shops, restaurants and inns.
