Sunray Cottages - Lambs Tail

Osmington sits between Weymouth and Dorchester, within reach of Dorset's Jurassic Coast and a handful of good pubs. Lambs Tail is a single-storey cottage on the grounds of The Sunray, close enough to the pub for an easy walk but far enough back for real privacy. One bedroom with a king-size bed, one bathroom, and an open-plan living space that holds a kitchen, sitting area and everything two people need for a proper break.

The kitchen has an electric hob, fridge and microwave—enough to cook properly or keep things simple. Underfloor heating and an air-source heat pump run throughout; Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are all included. The hot tub, which fits two, sits in a private enclosed garden with patio and seating. One parking space comes with the property. No smoking indoors.

This suits couples looking for somewhere to rest rather than a base for constant activity, though the coast is genuinely close if you want it. It's open-plan, so a very compact space—book it for the hot tub and the quiet, not for sprawling out.
