Orchard End - Drei Schlafzimmer Haus, Schläft 7

Situated on the outskirts of the village of Hooke, with a beautiful park just 1 mile away where pretty bluebells can be seen in May. This bright and airy, single-level holiday cottage is perfect for families and groups of friends planning rural rambles and beach days across the gorgeous Dorset National Landscape. The nearest town is Beaminster (5.5 miles), with a wealth of fantastic restaurants, cafes and pubs to relax in after a fabulous day exploring your rural surroundings. The coast is within easy reach, with glorious beaches at West Bay, Eype and Cogden, all within 11 miles. Kingcombe Meadows Nature Reserve is just 1.5 miles from the cottage, with other local attractions including Coney’s Castle, Colmer’s Hill, Lambert’s Castle, the Valley of Stones Nature Reserve, the Cerne Abbas Giant and Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, all within 17 miles. Both the market towns of Bridport (10 miles) and Dorchester (13 miles) have some fantastic places to eat and drink.

From the parking area, stepping stones lead across the garden to the front door and into this fresh and welcoming property. A porch leads into a handy entrance hall which is open to the light-filled lounge/kitchen/diner – the social heart of the home. The stylish lounge space is at the centre of the room, with a Smart TV and plenty of comfortable seating. To one side is a sociable dining table beneath a lovely lantern-style roof, allowing daylight to stream through. On the other side of the room, the tastefully organised and fully equipped kitchen has a useful breakfast bar and lots of storage and workspace. Find all you need here to cook up feasts for your loved ones, who could dine alfresco out on the patio, if the weather permits. For more relaxation, a separate lounge offers an even cosier space to unwind with its Smart TV, sumptuous furnishings and crackling wood burner for those chilly evenings together. At the end of each busy day away, three delightful bedrooms offer the perfect space to rest and recharge before the next day of adventure. These bedrooms include a master double with an en-suite shower room, a cosy twin room and a family bedroom with a double and single bed. A well-appointed family bathroom and a handy utility room complete the interior.

From the dining area, French doors lead out onto a lovely, south-facing patio with garden furniture, providing a relaxing spot for enjoying evening tipples and al fresco nibbles. The bungalow also offers a wraparound garden with an additional patio area and a pretty lawn with stock fencing and views over the surrounding pastureland – keep your eyes peeled for farm animals! Private driveway parking is available for four cars.
