About this property

Cosy Victorian Cottage in Chedington, West Dorset

Court Cottage is an attractive, detached stone house surrounded by a lovely, well developed garden in the secluded, picturesque (dog friendly) small village of Chedington, in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Cottage, tastefully restored into a convenient, comfortable, modern dwelling, overlooks a handsome neo-Gothic style stately home which, with its turrets & bell-tower, imparts a romantic atmosphere to the village, beyond which stretch beautiful views of the rolling Dorset countryside. Chedington nestles beside a dramatic, National Trust-protected ridge of beech trees which in spring is carpeted with bluebells. In addition to numerous foot & bridle paths in surrounding areas, the cottage is well situated to cater to a range of interests - 20 minutes from Dorset's World Heritage Jurassic coast; 10 minutes from Beaminster's excellent restaurants & shops & a 3 minute walk up the lane to the historic, popular Winyards Gap pub which boasts a much respected kitchen.

Lovely house in the beautiful village of Chedington. The house is well appointed and situated on a very quiet road with great walks right from the door. The Winyards Gap pub serves great pub food and has a wonderful garden looking out over the valley. Perfect for a relaxing summer break!

The cottage is in a lovely location with a very nice pub nearby that has fabulous views of the countryside. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds very comfortable. We didn't attempt to use the agar but managed with the microwave and 2 electric hot plates. There was good communication with the host and clear instructions on finding the property and gaining access. The propery is detached but in a courtyard with 4 other properties and has a shared drive. We only stayed for 5 nights but with so many lovely places to visit nearby we wished we had stayed for longer.

Great place for a quiet stay. Lots of books to read, plenty of space. The garden is lovely although not secure if you have a dog with wander lust!Beds are comfortable and bedrooms light and airy.Armchairs are a bit tired, but great for the odd night in with a movie .Lots of local places to eat and drink, scenery is breathtaking. Well equipped kitchen, although the combioven/microwave is not the quickest or easiest to manage. It could just be me…

Stunning cottage

We've never been in such a lovely, wonderful stunning holiday cottage like this! It felt like a real home from home and we loved everything: the piano, the wonderful interior, the lovely paintings and books, the really comfy beds, the perfectly equipped kitchen. Thank you so much Felicity, we really enjoyed a wonderful holiday week in your cottage.

Strong recommendation. Lovely and neat country house. Perfect for a family stay.

2 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, spacious kitchen, recently renovated bathroom. You‘ll feel at home immediately. Perfect location for trips to the coast (Durdle Door, Golden Cap, Bournemouth) or for hikings through the countryside.

Court Cottage

A delightful oasis in the lovely village of Chedington, Beaminster. The property was charming and quite comfortable. The nearby inn, Winyards Gap, was within walking distance and provided great food. I would recommend this property to anyone who likes to enjoy the peaceful countryside.

Beautiful cottage, lovely area

Good experience all around. The property was clean, plenty of hot water, and the beds were very comfortable. We were in a terrific location to explore the Jurassic Coast, which was the purpose of our trip. We visited Stonehenge, West Bay, Bridport, Lyme Regis, Charlotte Beach and Eype. Would recommend this property to anyone.

A lovely Dorset Break

We were completely smitten by Court Cottage. Quirky, comfortable and homely and it sits in the most picturesque quiet village of Chedington. More than that, it was the perfect place to explore West Dorset and we went on some beautiful circular walks that just had the most stunning views. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage. Hope to come back one day soon once our legs/feet have recovered.

Lovely home in a quiet location

If you're looking for somewhere quiet to get a way from it all (but with a great pub/restaurant neaby.....with a perfect outdoor area overlooking the valley and sunset) then this is for you. There was very little else within walking distance. It suited us well for a week, but if you're looking for something with a bit more nearby, this may not be for you. Local towns are a short drive away and it's not too far to the stunning coastline however.

Charming

The cottage was everything I was looking for during this troubling time. (COVID/19) I hope to return when I can get out more, but I can't think of a better place to self isolate. The cottage has everything you need and is charming.
