  • "Loved the location and the cottage ."

    Fantastic walks for us and our dog Couple of things I would recommend to the owner is some small outside seating area and maybe a big garden cleanup . Grass was very long and hedges are very overgrown. Gate needs a lock on it . Inside some cushions for the kitchen seating area and a small coffee table in living room . Other than that very charming band comfortable. Would love to return

    Dear guest, thank you very much for choosing to stay at our cottage and we are glad you enjoyed the location and cottage. As this is a newly acquired home for us, we appreciate any guest feedback that will make for a better guest experience in the future. We are working towards improving the garden space, we have worked very hard as the previous owners had left it overgrown, but we are hopeful that we can improve this with time. Thank you again for being one of our first guests and we hope we can host you again in the future. Best wishes, Amrita and Badger. Property Owner

The property

Half Pint Cottage, a lovely dwelling situated in the heart of Beaminster, Dorset.

Boasting an enclosed garden, off-road parking for two cars, and a Smart TV, this 250-year-old cottage offers a quaint escape for families and their furry friends amidst the stunning National Landscape of Dorset.

Upon entering make your way to the heart of the home, the contemporary kitchen/diner.

Here, the designated chef can whip up delicious meals using the array of appliances at their disposal, to be enjoyed at the large dining table as you plan the next day's activities.

Retire to the sitting room, where you can sink into the plush seating and tune into the Smart TV for a movie night, or challenge your loved ones to a game from the selection provided.

For those needing to catch up on work or studies, a desk is conveniently provided.

When sleep calls, escape upstairs to discover two inviting bedrooms; a double room complete with a small sofa for quiet moments of relaxation, and a welcoming twin room, both offering a tranquil space to rest your sleep heads after a day of adventures.

Freshen up in the shower room, boasting a walk-in shower, before heading out for the day.

Step outside to the enclosed garden, where you can enjoy a morning coffee on the patio, or let your four-legged friends stretch their legs on the lawn.

If you’re ready to explore on two wheels, bring along your bicycles and stow them safely in the shed tucked away at the bottom of the garden.

Just a short drive away, is the captivating beauty of Mapperton House, a sandstone manor located deep in the Dorset countryside and wildlands that span over 50 acres.

There is the house to explore, which is home to the Earl and Countess of Sandwich, as well as 15 acres of gardens, with colourful shrubs and rare trees and woodlands and the Coach House Café.

Embark on a unique experience with Donkey Walking Adventures; a joy for both children and adults alike, or immerse yourself in local history with a visit to the Beaminster Museum where fascinating exhibits weave a tapestry of the town’s past.

Conclude your day with culinary delight at The Ollerod, an award-winning restaurant serving a mouth-watering menu of locally-sourced produce.

For a more casual yet equally satisfying option, saunter over to The Greyhound Inn, a traditional pub famous for its real ales and comforting fare.

Take a short trip to West Bay, where you can stroll along the sandy shores of West Bay Beach and admire the stunning cliffs that frame this picturesque coastline.

For family-friendly fun, don’t miss Wynn's Funfair, offering an array of amusements for all ages.

For a unique experience, indulge in a day of Dorset Alpaca Walking and embark on a Jurassic Safari to uncover the region's rich fossil history.

A visit to Dorchester is a must, where you can delve into local heritage at the National Trust’s Max Gate, designed by Thomas Hardy himself, along with exploring the exhibits at the Dorset Museum & Art Gallery.

After a day of exploration, cosy up for a film at the Plaza Cinema Dorchester for a touch of classic charm.

Whether you’re seeking outdoor adventures, cultural experiences, or family fun, your stay in Half Pint Cottage will be filled with unforgettable memories.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
