Cosy Holiday Cottage in Beaminster, Dorset

Looking for that picture-perfect Dorset holiday cottage, complete with roses around the door and log burner?

You’ve found it. In the words of one of our guests:

“If you want a quiet, cosy little bolthole in a picturesque village, you will struggle to find anywhere better!”

You’ll feel instantly at home the moment you step into this characterful and beautifully furnished holiday let in Beaminster. Decorated with flair in a contemporary country style, it offers all the comforts you need for a relaxing escape.

Spend your days here heading out for walks from the doorstep and exploring everything this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty has to offer. Come the evening, settle down by the crackling wood-burning stove for cosy conversations and board games, before a restorative night’s sleep in dreamy beds with sumptuous feather and down bedding.

This peaceful rural holiday cottage sleeps up to 5 guests, making it the ideal place to stay in West Dorset with family or friends.

Relax in a sunny cottage garden

Step outside your cosy Dorset holiday cottage and you’ll find a private, sunny garden where you can relax to the gentle chime of the church clock, the peaceful backdrop of birdsong and the soft buzz of bees. “The darling enclosed garden was the perfect place to drink a coffee or a glass of wine – a little piece of heaven with a stunning magnolia tree and flower borders,” as one of our guests put it.

Stay in a holiday cottage near pubs

If you’re after a no-car holiday cottage in Dorset, Blackbird Cottage fits the bill perfectly. It’s just a short stroll to Beaminster’s welcoming market square, where you’ll find a host of independent shops and cafés, artisan food producers, friendly pubs and award-winning restaurants for when you don’t feel like cooking.

“The location was idyllic,” said one of our guests in a recent review. “It was the perfect balance of tranquillity but with the convenience of being a very short walk to Beaminster shops and restaurants/cafés.”

A holiday cottage close to the Jurassic Coast

With countryside walks starting right from the doorstep, Blackbird Cottage is an ideal base for exploring Dorset’s landscapes, coast and market towns. The stunning Jurassic Coast is only a short drive away for fossil-hunting at Lyme Regis or walks along this UNESCO World Heritage coastline.

What our guests say...

My third stay at Blackbird Cottage and it was lovely as ever. The cottage is incredibly cosy and you feel at home straight away. It’s very comfortable, especially the beds (mattress, duvet and pillows!) and we all slept very well!

A perfect cottage to escape to. The location was idyllic. It was the perfect balance of tranquillity but with the convenience of being very short walk to Beamister shops and restaurants/cafes. Thank you Sue for a wonderful stay. We would love to return and will recommend to others.

A perfect place to explore Dorset. The cottage was so cosy and the beds really comfortable. We were so lucky with the weather. We walked locally and visited Seatown for a beach walk. Would recommend.

Very comfortable and stylish cottage within easy walking distance of the excellent shops and restaurants in the lovely village of Beaminster.

The cottage is beautiful, and we were lucky to have a sunny Spring week so enjoyed the garden in full bloom too.

Beautiful period property, in walking distance to plenty of local amenities (pubs, restaurants, coop, and lovely gift shops), very well kept, and very comfortable!
