Beehive Cottage is 200 years old and used to be the home of the district nurse.
Sit back and relax in the sitting-room which has a gorgeous original inglenook fireplace with a delightful wood-burner effect gas stove.
The courtyard garden is south-facing, making it a real sun-trap. Fully enclosed, the area makes a fantastic space for children and dogs to safely explore.
The well-equipped galley kitchen looks out over the pretty courtyard garden.
The master bedroom has a king-size double bed and lovely soft linens.
The dining-room is completely separate from the sitting-room, ideal for long lazy meals.
The modern ground-floor bathroom is a lovely bright space.
You will find it difficult to tear yourself away from this lovely wood-burner effect gas stove.
A view of the stairs with the traditional door. Should you wish to use a stair-gate, you will need to place it at the door of the twin room.
This pretty bedroom can either be made up as a king-size double bed (5') or two 2'6" twin beds.
Bee careful to not bump your head on the low lintels! These super sweet bees will help to remind you to take care.
This is the view towards the top of the stairs.
The television is cleverly hidden behind wooden doors.

A beautiful cottage in a lovely location. Country walks on doorstep, lovely pub in walking distance for Sunday roast. Thoughtful owner left us cake and a pint of milk. Also allowed us early access which was helpful due to weather being so awful! Well equipped kitchen and very comfortable beds. A home from home. Would definitely return again. ...

Miss Allen August 2025
Beehive Cottage is in a lovely quiet village but with easy access to main roads for travelling. A shop and a pub within easy walking distance, as well as perfect dog walks. We appreciated the cool oasis of the cottage when the temperatures reached 30 degrees during a heatwave! The property was very clean and had all the equipment needed for a home from home holiday Reception details were spot on and communication with the owner perfect. We hope to return in future....

Bee Hive is ideally situated for going out and about visiting Bridport, Burton Bradstock, Dorchester, and Lulworth. The Hive at Burton Bradstock on the beach is worth a visit for breakfast.
Mrs Long October 2025
Beehive Cottage lived up to expectations. It was lovely and roomy, had very good facilities (including a washing machine), and was very quiet. I thought it was excellent value for money, and my dealings with the booking office were pleasant as well. I was sad to leave it behind....
