Live the coastal cottage dream in Dorset AONB
Welcome to Heather Cottage – the charming coastal retreat you've been dreaming of! With its idyllic pink doors and picture-perfect cottage appeal, it's everything you could want in a coastal getaway. If you've ever imagined living the coastal cottage dream, this could be your perfect escape. Just like us, when my partner and I were searching for our first home, now, we're thrilled to share its beauty with you. Come and make your own memories here – we can't wait to welcome you!
Welcome to Heather Cottage, where charm and character embrace you the moment you step through the pretty pink door. Nestled in the peaceful village of Osmington, yet just a stone’s throw from the lively Weymouth, this idyllic retreat is the perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience.
Our favourite local walk is to the White Horse, followed by a visit to the Smugglers Inn for a bite to eat. Plus, within 15 minutes, you can explore stunning sights like the famous Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove—two of Dorset’s greatest treasures.
Everything you need is just minutes away, with supermarkets, restaurants, and pubs close by, making it the ideal base for your getaway.
Imagine unwinding in the cosy lounge, snuggled up with a book and a hot chocolate, feeling like you’ve stepped into a Pinterest board. Or gather around the dining table, sharing a meal and reminiscing about the day's adventures, while the evening sun dances on the exposed stone walls. As the day winds down, play board games in the lounge, with endless cups of tea. And when it’s time to sleep, sink into the luxurious king-size bed, dreaming about tomorrow’s exploration.
Heather Cottage offers an unforgettable stay with all the comforts of home, and we’re sure you’ll fall in love with her just as much as we have. We can’t wait for you to experience the magic of this special place!
