These
two stone cottages stand quietly by a bridge, their garden extending
down to a small river (the River Mangerton), which passes underneath
it. Located on the edge of the small village of Powerstock, which
nestles at the foot of the ancient Eggardon Hill Fort, they offer a
very comfortable base from which to explore on foot or cycle** (good
brakes essential) the deep valleys and hills of this unspoilt part of
south west Dorset, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, 4 miles to
the north west of Bridport. From the side of the garden there is
immediate access onto a footpath, taking visitors across the owners'
farmland, grazed by their beef and dairy cattle, as part of a beautiful
five mile circular walk.
**A tandem bicycle is also available for visitors' use.
Powerstock itself is an attractive and very ancient village
mentioned in The Doomesday Book; standing on a mound above the village
its imposing church dates from Norman times and there are two pubs,
offering good, Dorset produced food, within walking distance of the
cottages. A spectacular stretch of the World Heritage, "Jurassic"
coastline is within easy driving distance, encompassing Lyme Regis
(famous 600' Quay, rock pools & fossils), Charmouth (good sandy
beach), West Bay (sea fishing off the pier and beach), and Abbotsbury,
(Chesil Beach, swannery & subtropical gardens). The county town of
Dorchester is about 10 miles while more locally Bridport provides for
more immediate shopping needs. Completely refurbished by their
owner with new, well-equipped fitted kitchens and bathrooms, they are
both ideal for a couple or a small family. Bridge Cottage and Spring Cottage can also be booked jointly with a dining table for 6 to 8 in Bridge Cottage living area.
