Bracken Cottage

About this property

Bracken Cottage is a delightful retreat situated in the heart of Osmington, in the popular county of Dorset. Offering open-plan living and just a stone's throw from local amenities and the beach, this charming cottage with off-road parking is the perfect haven for couples seeking a coastal escape. Upon entering the cottage, you will be greeted by the open-plan area, which houses a well-equipped kitchen and dining area which has an electric oven and hob. It is perfect for preparing home-cooked meals together or allowing the head chef in the couple to take over. Plate it up on the dining table for a romantic meal, serenaded with laughter due to funny stories from tales gone by as you eat.

Adjacent to this, you will find the sitting room, complete with two inviting sofas, where you can unwind after a day of exploring the local area. The property boasts a spacious double bedroom, offering a serene retreat to retire to at the end of the day. The bathroom is fitted with a bath and an overhead shower, as well as a basin and WC, providing a sleek space to freshen up. Outside, the non-enclosed front garden features a gravelled area, complete with a garden table and chairs. This is the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink, whilst soaking up the calm surroundings.

To make the most of your Dorset getaway, explore the birdwatcher's paradise of RSPB Lodmoor, hike to the iconic Osmington White Horse, an intriguing ancient hill figure, and delve into local history with a visit to the Jordan Hill Roman Temple. Experience the depths of marine life at the SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth, or discover harbour-side history at the impressive Nothe Fort. A short journey away, explore the historical Portland Castle, offering sweeping sea views. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the beautifully manicured Borough Gardens, immerse yourself in regional art and history at the Dorset Museum & Art Gallery, and finally, peer into the past at the awe-inspiring Iron Age hillfort, Maiden Castle.

To truly experience the beauty and history of Dorset, choose Bracken Cottage as your home away from home.

Osmington village is just 6 miles away from Weymouth on Dorset's picturesque Jurassic coastline. Walkers can gain access to the South West Coast Path from nearby hamlet Osmington Mills, discovering the Smugglers inn, where reputedly there are historic connections to smuggling. Also home to the famous chalk hillside carving of George III on horseback, which was carved into the hillside to commemorate the royal visits to Weymouth, this landmark can be seen from miles away.
