An attractive, semi-detached, former farmer's cottage set in a rural location, close to the tiny West Dorset hamlet of Dottery, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
With stunning countryside views across the neighbouring fields, The Old Smithy has been renovated and equipped to a good standard, offering warm and welcoming accommodation for small groups seeking the sights of this stunning area.
The cottage features a wonderful woodburning stove in the comfy sitting room, together with a galley kitchen, a separate dining room, two good-sized bedrooms and two family bathrooms which offer plenty of space for your whole group.
Enjoy refreshments outside whilst taking in the charming country views, or take a stroll or cycle along one of the numerous local byways.
This pretty cottage provides visitors with a perfect base for exploring West Dorset, with its picture postcard thatched cottage villages and stunning coastal seascapes.
A short drive will take you to the bustling market town of Bridport, featured in the River Cottage TV series, and no trip to this area is complete without visiting the scenic harbourside village of West Bay, TVs Broadchurch, a great place to try sea fishing.
Alternatively, take a trip to the historic seaside resort of Lyme Regis, or Weymouth, both easily accessible from this wonderful Dottery cottage.
An idyllic West Dorset country retreat, perfect all year round.

We enjoyed our week at The Old Smithy very much. It was very clean and welcoming. It was lovely and warm. it is in a very good position with good walks from the house. Potential visitors do need to know that the bath room and Loo `are down stairs and that there are steps up to this and to the kitchen. We owuld recommend the cottage

This is a lovely quiet and comfortable country cottage which is well equipped and clean. There are wonderful views and it is only short distances to the coast, country walks and Bridport.
