Fox Cottage

Fox Cottage is such a great place to stay. It has everything you need - a very well resourced kitchen with top quality equipment and even if you don’t cook while you stay it is a lovely place to sit and look out on the garden if the weather isn’t obliging or sit in the garden if it is. It’s easy to lose a few hours here! The living room is very comfortable and has lots of useful local information. The bedroom is big with a comfy bed and the bathroom is a real treat. The cottage is in a fabulous location - a stroll to the shops and pubs and the two excellent restaurants. You could easily forget about your car and enjoy everything just on your doorstep. I think I counted six places to have coffee not including the pubs and there is an amazing bookshop around the corner from the cottage. Footpaths go out from the end of the roads near the cottage up onto the Wessex Ridgeway and out to local villages over fields. Mapperton House and gardens is nearby and worth a visit. Parking was never an issue. I found spaces in the lane where the cottage is and just around the corner. It is rare to find a cottage that has it all but I really think Fox Cottage has. ...

Beautiful cottage with fabulous decor and soft furnishings. Very comfortable ‘home from home’ in delightful village with lots of local amenities. The pretty garden was a bonus (even in late March) so would be very welcome during the summer months. We enjoyed lovely meals at Brassica and the Ollerod and also bought some good quality meat from the local butcher. Wonderful walks direct from cottage as well as visits to Lyme Regis, West Bay and local National Trust properties. We, too, enjoyed the Church Bells and certainly didn’t find them intrusive. Beaminster is a very friendly village too....

We had an amazing weekend away at Fox Cottage. The cottage is presented to the highest standards of quality and cleanliness. All of the furnishings are comfortable and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for a self-catering stay. The wood burning stove was also very welcomed for January evenings. We will definitely return to Fox Cottage - thank you!...

A beautifully furnished cottage, cosy and warm in the winter months ideally positioned for visits around Dorset. Particularly appreciated the high standard of accommodation and all the little extras provided, one of the best equipped places we have stayed in. Very clean and high standard of housekeeping. Many thanks to the owners, housekeeper and the whole Classic team. ...

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Fox Cottage, which exceeded our expectations and even the weather was very good considering it was February!! The welcome basket was full of delicious treats that we enjoyed. It was perfectly situated a stone’s throw from the centre of town but was down a lovely quiet lane. We found the people of Beaminster to be very friendly and we enjoyed listening to the church bells, no clock needed as they did a perfect job of letting all know the time!! We highly recommend this cottage. ...
