Apple Tree Cottage

About this property

Ringstead Bay Beach 2 miles. Tucked away in Upton near the small seaside village of Preston, Dorset, discover this beautifully-presented single-storey cottage, Apple Tree Cottage. Benefitting from dog-friendly living, en-suite shower room and boasting a fantastic location within the Dorset AONB, Apple Tree Cottage welcomes two guests, perfect for a couple seeking a romantic getaway in this fabulous region. After parking up, enter your new home-from-home ready to kick back with a warm drink and click on the TV in the sitting room as your other half cooks up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen. Settle down at the dining table ready to tuck in, or venture out to the enclosed garden and base yourself amongst the shrubbery as you toast to a memorable retreat; treat yourself to a long soak or warm shower and spend some extra time completing your skincare routine before winding down in the lovely double bedroom. After savouring your morning coffee, kickstart your itinerary along the coast at Eweleaze Beach or Bowleaze Cove, two stunning spots where you can bask in the sun’s rays, paddle the shores or even try your hand at a range of watersports if you’re feeling up to the challenge! Close by you can also discover the National Trust site of Ringstead Bay, set along the Jurassic Coast and showcasing miles of uninterrupted beauty with flower-covered cliffs and a shingle beach where your pooch can play freely. In the popular town of Weymouth, enjoy a variety of marine life at SEA LIFE Centre, enjoy a scenic stroll around the RSPB Radipole Lake, explore Nothe Fort and Gardens, admire Sandsfoot Castle or simply relax at Weymouth Beach, all before sampling traditional fish and chips, or a plethora of other tasty grub that can be found nearby! With the delights of the Dorset AONB on offer, in addition to plenty of walking trails, there is something for everyone here. Whisk your other half away on an exciting escape to Dorset, with a stay at Apple Tree Cottage.

The beautiful beach resort of Weymouth is only one mile away from Preston, a little seaside community with a variety of shops and great pubs. Weymouth has something for everyone thanks to its beautiful, golden beaches, first-rate watersports amenities, and active harbour. Drive a short distance to Portland, a wild island connected to the mainland by Chesil Beach, home to the National Sailing Academy and a stunning stretch of coastline designated as a World Heritage Site. Discover the Roman roadways, fascinating museums, and ruins of Maiden Castle in old Dorchester. Travel along the charming coastal roads and stop at Abbotsburys, a swannery, and subtropical gardens.
