The kitchen is equipped with a range of amenities to entice any budding chef to prepare an array of delectable dishes, whilst the handy dishwasher helps keep the space neat and tidy. Across the way rests the spacious dining room, where the original charm of the former tearoom can be seen throughout the quaint decor; gather together with your loved ones at the dining table to recount the days adventures over a delicious meal or make the most of your picturesque setting by making mealtimes an alfresco affair in the well-presented garden. The tearoom is also ideal for family games or to escape for peaceful reading time. When the skies grow darker, climb the stairs to the first floor where you'll find four bedrooms, comprising two king-size rooms, one with an additional single bed, one twin and each benefiting from access to their own en-suite, whilst a single room offers an intimate escape from the excitement. A fabulous family bedroom can be found with an en-suite bathroom tucked under the exposed beams of the second floor, ideal for keeping an eye on the little ones.

Television buffs will be delighted with a visit to West Bay, where the rugged sandstone cliffs form the backdrop behind popular whodunnit drama series Broadchurch, whilst the neighbouring market town of Bridport is well worth a visit.
