Swiss Cottage

Chideock sits between Lyme Regis and Bridport on the Dorset coast, close enough to Seatown beach for a short walk and surrounded by the dramatic scenery of the World Heritage Jurassic Coast. Swiss Cottage is a Grade II listed property in this village setting, a short distance from The Clock Inn and local shops. The cottage is yours alone, with four bedrooms and two bathrooms sleeping up to six people.

Downstairs, a living room and separate dining room both have Freeview TV. The kitchen is equipped for proper cooking—gas cooker, dishwasher, and all the essentials mean you can manage anything from a quick breakfast to a full meal. Bedroom 1, a super king, has an en-suite shower room. Upstairs are three further bedrooms—a king and two singles—served by a family bathroom with bath and shower. The property includes wi-fi, bed linen, towels and heating; one dog stays free. On-site parking accommodates two cars. There is a small garden with gazebo, and a travel cot and highchair are available if needed. Note that stairs are steep and narrow in places, and some windows have single pane glass.

The location suits anyone drawn to coastal walking, fossil hunting, swimming or simply exploring the beaches and villages nearby. Lyme Regis with its harbour is close by. No smoking indoors.
