Stay.

  • Upstairs you’ll find a romantic country cottage bedroom with lovely views to the hills and towards the sea. The kingsize bed is made up in crisp white linens and luxury bedding.

    A large cupboard and chest of drawers built into the deep window seat provide plenty of storage and there’s a dressing table, mirror and hair dryer.

    The bedroom is accessed via a secret staircase that’s hidden away behind a door in the living room and it’s so snug and quiet - a true cocoon.

  • dorset nook living room

    Downstairs there are two living spaces; the first is the 18th century living room with exposed stone walls, a woodburning stove and a lovely window seat piled with cushions.

    This is the place to be when you feel like cosying up - it’s so atmospheric in the daytime and on chillier evenings, with a fire crackling away, it would be difficult to feel more snug.

    There’s a smart TV, Scrabble for those feeling competitive and an excellent selection of award-winning novels if you’re in need of reading inspiration.

  • The light-filled reading nook gets the sun all day. It has a sink-in loveseat and views into the cottage garden that surround it; it’s difficult to sit here and not have a decadent little snooze…

    With a good selection of maps, walking books and magazines to hand it’s a great place to sit with a morning coffee and plan the day.

    The reading nook is a bit of a treat for nature-lovers, too; throw open the windows in the morning to be fully immersed in birdsong.

“The little sunroom on the side is literally heaven for an afternoon of reading. I spent hours there.”

  • dining room at eype the dorset nook

    The dining area with its beautiful exposed stone wall has an antique farmhouse table and chairs and is lit by the warm glow of the sun towards the end of the day.

    There’s an area here for hanging coats and bags and as well as a long antique bench for perching on as you take off your shoes.

  • the dorset nook kitchen

    The handmade kitchen is fully-equipped with electric Rangemaster, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, microwave, toaster and kettle.

    The vintage shelving, panelled walls and oak beams make this a lovely place to potter about or cook up a storm.

  • the dorset nook eype bathroom

    The lovely bathroom at The Dorset Nook is downstairs and has a bath (with shower over), underfloor heating and shaver point.

    Next to the bathroom there’s a laundry cupboard with washing machine, iron, compact ironing board and drying rack.

Outside Space.

A pretty little south-facing garden wraps around the cottage and has stone pathways, a dining area with pergola and a lawned area surrounded by shrubs and hedges.

Set up camp at the vintage table and chairs for outside meals when the weather is fine - there are deckchairs for sunny days and beach towels are also provided.

You can wander straight through the garden gate and onto the footpath - turn right for the fields and left for the sea…

 
 
 

Second time we’ve been back because it really is idyllic here. A beautiful property, really thoughtfully furnished and equipped, in a perfect location.
