Barton Cottage

  The Detail...

Enjoy village life at Barton Cottage, which is located right in the heart of Symondsbury in the beautiful Dorset countryside. Sleeping up to four guests this holiday home combines traditional rural living with a modern twist.

The sleek white walls and polished wooden floor of the living room blends perfectly with the exposed beam above the fireplace that houses the log burner. There is also a dining table seating up to four guests. In the well equipped kitchen the farmhouse style adds to the historical feel of the cottage, while the cooker, fridge freezer, and all the other appliances are very much in the 21st Century.

Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, one of which has an original fireplace and both offer stunning views across the surrounding hills. There is also a bathroom on this level, while outside the private courtyard is ideal for guests to enjoy a morning coffee, evening drink, or some alfresco dining.

Part of the Symondsbury Estate, Barton Cottage is the ideal accommodation for those attending a wedding at Tithe Barn, which is situated just a short walk away from the front door. However, it is also perfect for a quiet escape to the countryside, with those staying able to explore the village itself and discover its independent shops and cafe. There are also a number of walking and cycling trails that start at the estate itself.

Guests are not too far away from the bigger town of Bridport, though, which has a supermarket and hosts markets filled with local produce every Wednesday and Saturday. This includes award winning fish, fine wines, and even vinyl. Bridport also has plenty of history which in parts dates back to the Romans and can all be discovered at the museum.

The famous Jurassic Coast is just a short drive away at West Bay and guests can be by the sea within a few minutes. There are guides available to take people along the miles of marked tracks along dramatic coastline and through stunning surroundings. Alternatively take a stroll on the beach with fish and chips and take in the sea air.
