These two stone cottages stand quietly by a bridge on the edge of the small village of Powerstock, just 5 miles from the coast at West Bay. The cottages nestle at the foot of the ancient Eggardon Hill Fort and offer a very comfortable base from which to explore on foot or cycle** (good brakes essential) the deep valleys and hills of this unspoilt part of south west Dorset, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, 4 miles to the north east of Bridport . From the side of the garden there is immediate access onto a footpath, taking visitors across the owners' farmland, grazed by their beef and dairy cattle, as part of a beautiful five mile circular walk.

Powerstock itself is an attractive and very ancient village mentioned in The Doomesday Book; standing on a mound above the village its imposing church dates from Norman times and there are two pubs, offering good, Dorset produced food, within walking distance of the cottages. A spectacular stretch of the World Heritage, "Jurassic" coastline is within easy driving distance, encompassing Lyme Regis (famous 600' Quay, rock pools & fossils), Charmouth (good sandy beach), West Bay (sea fishing off the pier and beach), and Abbotsbury, (Chesil Beach, swannery & subtropical gardens). The county town of Dorchester is about 10 miles while more locally Bridport provides for more immediate shopping needs.

Completely refurbished by their owner with new, well-equipped fitted kitchens and bathrooms, Bridge Cottage and Spring Cottage are ideal for a couple or a small family.

Bridge and Spring Cottage can also be booked jointly with dining for 6 to 8 in either cottage's living area.
