Description
Charming and private Cottage for Two in Hooke, Nr. Bridport, West Dorset, England - Peaceful Rural Location, 7 Miles From The Jurassic Coast
The Little House, set in the grounds of the owner's home, is south facing with lovely long views. Situated on the edge of the tiny hamlet of Higher Hooke, this extremely comfortable and stylish cottage is an ideal base for exploring this beautiful part of West Dorset. Catch the last of the sun in the evening garden. Sit out around the fire under the the night sky and listen to the owls calling. A good bed is essential. Previous guests have commented on how comfortable ours is and the feather and down duvet and decent quality linen will assure you of a good night's sleep. There is ample wardrobe space too. In the bathroom, the oval basin, set in a marble top, came from a local manor house. There is masses of hot water and a powerful shower. The simple wooden panelled kitchen is well equipped with a gas hob and really good quality combination microwave/convection oven. Double doors open out on to the terrace. Hooke is a very small village comprising of a cluster of houses, a couple of farms and a church. There are so many walks from your door. In 5 minutes you can be in beautiful Hooke Woods, home to the Architectural Associations Woodland School. Or wend your way past the wood and down through the Mapperton valley, timeless and beautiful, with a lovely cafe at Mapperton House to reward your efforts. Head east, and you reach Powerstock Common and Kingcombe; ancient landscapes, dramatic views. A 15 minute drive gets you to the coast.

“Pristine "Little House"”
My Wife is one of those women who despises untidy grubby holiday lets her first words upon entering "The Little House" were and i quote "look how clean and bright it is" on that note alone our holiday started so well after a long journey down to Dorset we were ready for some refreshment and sustenance imagine our surprise to find a tin of freshly baked oat cake waiting near the kettle placed there by Melanie our host for the stay Melanie was both friendly and helpful all through the stay and our pet Shi Tzu took an immediate liking to her the location of "The Little House" is in such a tranquil little hamlet just a few miles from the "Jurassic Coast" which i must admit was why we booked our holiday in that area all in all Melanie, The location and her little Dog made for a most enjoyable experience

“Cosy little home from home”
We stayed in this lovely property for a short break. The little house is prettily presented with everything that you need for your stay. A lovely bathroom with plenty of hot water and the super king bed was very comfortable. Central heating is very efficient and simple to control. Very clean and the country chic styling is very attractive. The owner is very welcoming and friendly but not intrusive. Situated in a lovely area but close to routes to explore beautiful Dorset. We would definitely return for another visit and recommend to friends and family.

“PERFECT!”
I stayed at the Little House for 2 nights whilst attending a course in nearby Bridport. The house itself is utterly charming - stylish, simple, full of home comforts, spotlessly clean. I felt relaxed … More
