About this property
Whispering Pines is a delightful cottage set in the tranquil Tamarisk Wayside Gardens nestled close to two other holiday cottages, with each offering their own private garden space.
Surrounded by stunning countryside, and with panoramic sea views of the Jurassic Coast, it is an ideal base for exploring all that West Dorset has to offer.
It is a stone cottage bungalow with the accommodation laid out on one level. There is an open planned living room with kitchen, dining and sitting areas. The bedrooms are comfortable and homely and perfect for peaceful sleeping in this tranquil location. This property accepts four guests..
From the sitting room, guests can open the patio doors and enjoy the grassed lawn area where you can relax, share a picnic or play some games with the family. The property happily welcomes two well-behaved dogs.
In chilly weather the cottage is perfect for snuggling up in the lounge, in front of the log burner whilst you read a book or enjoy a warming hot chocolate.
The setting of the cottage is delightful, with pretty gardens overlooking the South West coast and the surrounding West Bexington countryside. The stunning landscape will tempt you to explore further for sure, and the World Heritage coastline will always beckon visitors.
Only a few minutes’ drive away is the market town of Bridport (6 miles) with its array of quaint shops and lovely streets, and with a popular market offering local fresh produce and interesting stalls. When venturing further on foot, or by bike or car, you will reach beautiful village of West Bay with its cute harbour and stunning cliffs.
A short drive further you will reach the tallest point on the South coast – Golden cap, which sits tall and proud and offers outstanding views for miles around. Lyme Regis and Charmouth are both nearby and very much a fossil hunters paradise.
The coastal town of Weymouth has an award-winning sandy beach and is an hour’s drive away, with many attractions for adults and children alike. Nothe Fort and Gardens offer fantastic views of the rugged Isle of Portland and also the iconic Lulworth cove, and a stroll down to the harbour will find a perfect location for crabbing and watching the boats sail by.
Whispering Pines is cute and full of charm, and ideal for families and friends looking for a quiet haven.
Lying next to the sea and Chesil Beach, equidistant between Burton Bradstock and Abbotsbury, is the small village of West Bexington. This is a stunning area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, as well as an area of Special Scientific Interest - pebbled Chesil Beach, which extends for 14 miles, from Burton Bradstock to the Portland peninsula, is part of the Jurassic Coast and now a World Heritage Site. Fishermen and walkers are well provided for, as a great variety of fish can be caught at any time of year, and the South West Coastal Path runs right alongside the beach. Only confident swimmers should attept to swim here, but Weymouth, offering lovely, gently shelving sands, is only a short drive away. There's lots to see and do within easy reach of the village. No journey to this area would be complete without a visit to picturesque Abbotsbury, 3 miles, with its Swannery, Tithe Barn and Sub Tropical Gardens, with Dorchester, Bridport, and Lyme Regis all within easy reach.

Loved walking around the grounds, listening to the wildlife particularly the owls hooting in the evening made us feel so relaxed. Would recommend to everyone.

The grounds are beautiful, we particularly enjoyed watching the butterflies on the bush out the front. The beds were super comfy. Kitchen was very clean and well equipped. Sue popped in to say hello and was very welcoming. The only thing not up to par was the shower, hardly any pressure at all. Very limited phone signal so I would recommend researching places you want to visit before you get there.

The cottage looks beautiful outside but there is no sort of path as you get to the cottage it has a grass lawn which because of the wet weather made it everytime you went out you got wet because the grass wasnât cut. A path would stop the mess and feet getting soaked. Then inside the property the living dinning area was big enough there was a tv but this was starting to look like it had seen better days with lines down the screen. Kitchen area the plates and utensils had worn, some chipped and some even broken. We had to fix the frying pan before we could use it but they were bowed so cooking with them was a nightmare. They had no pint/half pint glasses to make drinking a beverage easier. The bedrooms - the double room smelt of damp and on leaving our clothes all felt damp, the bed was so uncomfortable, the mattress was lumpy and gave me a bad back not one nights good sleep , the single room mattress was slightly better. The bathroom was terrible the shower was awful just about got hot and without standing on top of the taps you could barely get wet. Then the cleanliness there was spider webs annd dust everywhere, dog biscuits under the cabinet in the bathroom, broken sockets and skirting board loose on walls and an ants nets in the double doors. If guests are staying the cottage should be dusted everywhere not left. I would not recommend for the cost of this cottage we paid a lot of money and it really needs a update and money spent on the cottage as this is falsely sold as no where near good enough awful. We have taken photos if required I think that the amount paid for this cottage is extremely over priced for its standard. We would like to request our money back as the property is not as discribed.
