Neighbourhood highlights
The Barn @ Dormouse Cottage is located in the heart of the quiet and picturesque West Dorset village of Netherbury. The property is Grade II Listed and is set in a Conservation Area.
The surrounding countryside which is part of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offers a stunning landscape of rolling hills crisscrossed with a network of interesting footpaths and bridleways to explore.
The Jurassic Coast is a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the English Channel coast of Dorset. It stretches from Exmouth in East Devon to Studland Bay in Dorset, a distance of about 96 miles, and was inscribed on the World Heritage List in December 2001. Just a short drive of less than 7 miles from The Barn @ Dormouse Cottage you can explore this stunning coastline with its towering cliffs and shingle beaches. The cliffs made famous by the TV crime drama, Broadchurch can be found at West Bay where much of it was filmed. You’ll spot many of the properties in and around West Bay which were included in the drama as well as the infamous beach hut just along the coast at Eype. The highest point on the south coast can be found a few miles further west at Golden Cap. The world famous Chesil Beach, one of three major shingle beaches in the UK, stretches 18 miles from West Bay to the Isle of Portland to the east.
The bustling market town of Bridport is just over 5 miles away. Bridport has a twice-weekly street market (Wednesday and Saturday) and monthly farmers' market. Bridport's arts scene has contributed to the town becoming increasingly popular with people from outside the locality. It has an arts centre, theatre, library, cinema and museum, and several annual events.
The town centre vintage quarter on the St Michael’s Trading Estate is home to many Local artists in Bridport and they open up their studios as part of Bridport Open Studios each year. This part of town is also home to many antique and vintage dealers.
Bridport has a great line up of independent retailers as well as high street names. The town has a Waitrose, Morrison’s, Lidl and Co-op supermarkets alongside a number of local bakers, butchers and other fresh food retailers and farmshops.
Situated a short drive or walk (just under 2 miles) across beautiful countryside is the town of Beaminster which offers many of the amenities you may require during your stay including various stores selling locally sourced food as well as pubs and restaurants, including the fabulous Brassica restaurant.
The popular seaside town of Lyme Regis is just under 16 miles away.
The Barn is a short walk from Hope Farm Wedding Venue which is on the edge of the village and only a short drive from Mapperton House & Gardens which is another fabulous wedding venue in the area. Our guests have enjoyed the convenience of staying so close to these venues. There’s no need for an expensive taxi if you’re attending a wedding at Hope Farm.

Myself and Antony moved from Wimbledon, London in 2019 to Dormouse Cottage to enjoy a slower pace of life after successful professional careers working in central London. We decided to realise the potential of the disused barn we own adjacent to Dormouse Cottage and embarked on a total refurbishment of it during the Spring & Summer of 2020. This involved its conversion into a guest suite for our friends and family but also offering it to let.
