About this property
Southgate Coach House - attractively furnished cottage for two.
Southgate Coach House is a perfect couples' retreat, ideally situated just a short walk away from the centre of Dorchester, the country town of Dorset. The property has been refurbished throughout and is attractively furnished and well-equipped to provide a comfortable retreat for two.
The accommodation includes a bright sitting room with television, a modern well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar and stools. There is a spacious double bedroom, and a large shower room. There is an outdoor dining terrace with pergola and a table and chairs, the perfect spot for enjoying your morning coffee or an alfresco lunch or dinner.
Guests can easily stroll in to town and visit the famous Dorset County Museum to discover and enjoy the richness of the county’s natural, historical and cultural heritage with world-class collections. Other popular attractions within the town are Shire Hall Historic Courthouse Museum, The Tutankhamun Museum which features a spectacular recreation of Tutankhamun's tomb and treasures, and The Keep Military Museum. Within easy reach is the Jurassic Coast, and the popular locations of Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door, Weymouth, Burton Bradstock, Westbay and Charmouth.
Famously named Casterbridge in Thomas Hardy’s novels 'The Mayor of Casterbridge' and 'Tess of the D’Urbervilles', it is easy to appreciate how Dorchester and the surrounding area inspired the author. Just a short stroll away you can amble along the River Frome, and nearby you will find the ruins of a Roman villa with its mosaic tiled floors. A stay at this well-situated property offers many opportunities for walking, cycling, sightseeing, shopping and dining.
