A West Dorset holiday cottage.

This ancient thatched cottage occupies a truly unique situation on the west Dorset coast below Golden Cap (one of the highest hills on the South Coast) and between the villages of Seatown and Charmouth. There are no roads or traffic noise anywhere near. The only other dwelling in the vicinity is the Trust's St.Gabriels Farmhouse (used as holiday flats)

The cottage is probably about three hundred years old and
contains many old timbers. A modern kitchen and shower
roomhas been added. There are three bedrooms (sleeping 5),
and a sitting room. Mains electricity and water. Although
everything necessary for a comfortable holiday is provided
(including storage heaters), this is not luxury accommodation.
