About this property

Country Cottage in Evershot Dorset

Frome Cottage is a stunningly pretty thatched cottage full of charm and character in Evershot, one of Dorset’s best villages. Set right in the heart of Thomas Hardy country Evershot boasts a village shop and post office, The Acorn pub, a delicious bakery and Summer Lodge restaurant and spa hotel.

A short drive away you will discover the County town of Dorchester with its shops, cafes and restaurants or any of the Jurassic coast towns and villages such as Bridport and West Bay or Lyme Regis.

Space
Lovely thatched three bedroom cottage which can sleep up to six (with a pull out single bed), a warm welcoming wood burner to keep you warm and cosy. It has a well-equipped kitchen with all the comforts that you'll need! The bathroom has a shower and bath, on the second floor and there is also a cloakroom on the ground. Enjoy summer evenings in the delightful garden and the beautiful surroundings of Evershot and all the area has to offer, with a local shop, bakers and pup. All children are welcome, and there is a travel cot and high chair available. Well behaved dogs are welcome, but we kindly ask that they are not allowed on the furniture or beds. Just a short walk away you will find yourself in Melbury Park, a beautiful deer park with a stunning Grade I listed Manor house and charming gardens. The Jurassic Coast, recently declared a World Heritage Site and the South West Coastal path are within easy reach and provide some wonderful walking opportunities. Here you will also discover the beautiful West Bay, a lovely sandy beach with a host of things to do for all ages.

Guest access
The house is mid-terrace of three and has two private parking spaces, very quiet and off the road.

Guest interaction
I live in Dorset because it's so special and as such, I am over the hill towards Cerne Abbas so I am close by if you need me.
Neighbourhood overview

The cottage is in the beautiful quiet village of Evershot and many country walks radiate from the village. Cerne Abbas with its tumescent hill carving is a couple of villages away, or you can travel further afield to Bridport with its Saturday market, Lyme Regis, or Dorchester to Thomas Hardy's cottage.

Getting around
There are some local buses but to fully enjoy Dorset transport is required.

Other things to note
Quintessential English country house, Summer Lodge Country House Hotel in Evershot is the epitome of a luxurious five-star country house hotel and spa and is a short stroll from the cottage. Afternoon tea or dinner are to be recomended.

Good,, but...
An attractive thatched terraced cottage. Evershot is a pleasant village, although it is not easily accessible. To get anywhere you have to travel by narrow country roads. There is a very good gastro-pub a short walk from the property, but other restaurants are a few miles away. Minor quibbles about the accommodation include a very creaky landing floor, the lack of cushions for the garden metal chairs, clocks that were not working and the absence of even a small welcome pack.

A Great Stay
This is a lovely property and exactly as described. The property was spotlessly clean, well furnished and with everything you could need. Very pleasantly surprised to have BT sport and Netflix - thank you. The location is perfect for exploring the area and the village of Evershot is lovely with a pub, bakery and village store. There is plenty of parking and all the sites are within an easy drive. Thank you for a perfect stay

We are so luck to live in Dorset at the end of day we can swim at the beaches, and the great outdoors provides a green gym for all.

Why they chose this property

The stunning coastline and countryside is one of the many reasons to stay in Dorset.

Evershot, in West Dorset, reeks with literary association. It turns up in Tess of the D'Urbevilles as "the small town or village of Evershead" where Tess pauses on her way to call on Angel Clare's parents: "She made a halt here and breakfasted a second time, heartily enough – not at the Sow and Acorn, for she avoided inns, but at a cottage by the church."
