Foodies and sociable souls will enjoy this lively B&B in a pretty honey-coloured stone cottage with a garden and a very friendly owner

Make yourselves at home in the dining room with antiques, pictures, photographs, china plates and lots of interesting books. Tea and home-baked apple cake or scones are waiting for you, or you can have a nip from the honesty bar; you'll also find Dorset wine and a friend's honey to buy. The sun-room overlooking the garden is a good spot for a sundowner before wandering out to dinner.

Breakfast choices are posted on a blackboard and agreed upon the evening before, with vegetarian and vegan options too: homemade granola, Greek yogurt with honey, a Dorset fry-up or smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, served in the sun room or garden if you prefer - help yourselves to cushions from the basket.

Take a book to the French day bed under the honeysuckle on balmy days, or visit the Cherries café in the village for good food.

Local points of interest from Angela Hillier:

Punti d'interesse locali da
Angela Hillier:

  • St Catherine’s Chapel perched on the hilltop is just twenty minutes walk from the house. The views when you arrive at the top are iconic. The Tropical gardens, Swannery and Chesil Beach are all within walking distance from the cottage.
  • There is a double decker bus that runs from Poole to Lyme Regis along the coastline with commanding views of the Chesil beach along the way. The bus stop Is five mins walk from the cottage.
  • The Island of Portland is not far away with a famous lighthouse and great walks. Lots of water sports and Quiddles cafe great.
  • I recommend The Three Horseshoes pub and The Parlour Restaurant in Burton Bradstock. These are my favourite places for dinner. Rachel’s shepherds hut is now in a field in Little Bredy. An idyllic spot for a fishy lunch. Heaven.
  • Abbotsbury is very convenient for lovely market towns such as Bridport and Dorchester. Both only twenty minutes drive away.
  • Abbotsbury is a beautiful quintessential English village with many amenities such as farm shop, tea rooms and art galleries and it would be easy to park the car up for a couple of days and explore the surroundings by foot or bike.
