About this property

Portesham 1.6 miles. Resting in the quiet and picturesque village of Langton Herring, lies Lower Farm Cottage, a truly peaceful property in the coastal town of Dorset and close to the World Heritage Jurassic Coast and surrounding countryside. Exuding character and charm, this traditional property boasts beautiful and original features whilst perfectly combining contemporary conveniences to ensure you and your family or group of friends have a superb self-catering stay. Step inside this attractive abode and be welcomed into the sitting room, home to exposed wooden beams and stonework along with the added warmth of an inglenook fireplace, the ideal spot for cosying up on those chilly evenings as you enjoy a film or family games night. The delightful English country kitchen diner is spacious and has all you need to rustle up a tasty meal for all to enjoy whilst planning your holiday itinerary or reminiscing on the past days’ adventures. When night draws in, climb the stairs to one of the two bedrooms; one super king room and one triple room housing 3 single beds and an en-suite with basin and WC, along with an additional groundfloor bathroom with bath, over-head shower, basin and wc. The cottage boasts a large south facing garden and sheltered patio area where children and dogs can play safety whilst you enjoy some alfresco dining in the warmer months, and just across the road next to the main farmhouse, you will find The Old Stable, a communal games room with a football and tennis table along with a selection of games and books to borrow and read at your leisure. The bustling town of Weymouth can be reached within a 15-minute drive and here you will find a whole host of attractions for all ages. Revel in a pure bucket and spade fun on the glorious golden sandy beach teamed with safe and shallow waters, perfect for taking a dip or getting involved in some of the water sports on offer. The attractive esplanade is lined with shops, bars and cafes for you to grab a bite to eat or buy a souvenir to take back home, and the old historic harbour is a fabulous spot to sit and watch all the comings and goings of luxury yachts, fishing trawlers, tall ships, RNLI Lifeboats and across harbour rowing ferries. However you choose to spend your holiday, Lower Farm Cottage is an ideal home away from home and promises to be a joy to return to each day after exploring all things Dorset.

The charming community of Chickerell can be found nestled on the outskirts of the vibrant seaside town of Weymouth, on the incredible Jurassic Coastline. Home to two well-stocked supermarkets, a welcoming pub and a selection of cafés, restaurants and takeaways, visitors to the area have all their needs covered. Spend your days exploring the nearby towns of Dorchester and Bournemouth, or head over to the Isle of Portland for an action-packed adventure.

    Games room a bonus. Very pleased that the garden was secure for the dog (many advertised as such haven’t been). The cottage is away from the bustle of Weymouth but it’s within easy reach. Stunning landscape all around.

  • Sheila

    The owner popped round and was very friendly. She told us she had been letting the cottage for fifty years and it showed, she had learnt what people need and had thought of absolutely everything. There was plenty of good quality crockery, cutlery and kitchen equipment plus loads of info about the area and even toys and games! Thank you very much.
