Situated in the picturesque village of Osmington, Dorset, Lychgate Cottage is a charming traditional thatched cottage that dates back to around 1500. This delightful two-bedroom retreat accommodates up to four guests and is characterized by its chocolate box appeal, featuring a beamed ceiling and exposed stonework in the cozy sitting room. Guests can relax on the corner sofa or enjoy the tranquility of the front lawned garden and patio area, perfect for warm summer evenings. Additionally, a lower sitting room equipped with another TV and a Wii console provides extra entertainment options.
The surrounding area of Osmington is equally enchanting, with winding village lanes lined by grey stone thatched cottages. Visitors can indulge in local delicacies at Craig's Farm Dairy, known for its fresh cow's milk and award-winning ice cream, reputed to be the best in the county. Just next to the cottage, St Osmund's Church, with parts dating back to 1200, offers a glimpse into the rich local history and is a must-visit for history enthusiasts.
For outdoor lovers, the region presents a wealth of opportunities for exploration, particularly for ramblers and walkers. The nearby coastal areas of Ringstead and Osmington Mills are ideal for discovering stunning scenery, with the pebbly beach at Ringstead often remaining quiet during the summer months. The Smugglers pub at Osmington Mills is a renowned spot for enjoying hearty meals after a day of adventures.
Further afield, attractions such as Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are just a short 10-mile drive away, while the award-winning beach at Weymouth is approximately 6 miles from the cottage. Weymouth's sandy shores are perfect for family fun, whether it's building sandcastles or savoring ice cream from one of the beachside cafes. With its character, charm, and coastal setting, Lychgate Cottage serves as an idyllic holiday destination for those looking to experience the beauty of Dorset.
