Outside, the garden is simply fantastic, dotted with beautiful shrubs adding a pop of colour to the extensive front and rear lawn, where the stunning exterior of the cottage peeks through mature trees, becoming part of the wonderful surrounding landscape, and this is a garden that you will be eager to enjoy, with a stream passing through the rear of the property adding the relaxing sound of running water as you enjoy a picnic on the grass. Whitchurch Canonicorum, Dorset, is a stunning area of the Jurassic coast, with beautiful countryside scenery surrounding the property and the historic St Candidi’s church directly beside the property.

Within the area you will find countryside walks rich in wildlife and the perfect activity to start your day. If you wish to explore the history of the area further head over to Coney’s Castle. The Jurassic coast is only a short distance from the property, and a visit to the rocky bays is a must, and you can learn more about the area at Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre before taking a stroll along the beach and seeing what fossils you can uncover. With such a stunning property in a great location, you are bound to make a holiday to remember with a stay at Church Cottage.

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.
