Powerstock, with its roots tracing back to the Doomsday Book, is situated at the base of the ancient Iron Age Fort of Eggardon Hill. The village offers an abundance of walking and cycling paths, making it an ideal location for outdoor enthusiasts.

Additionally, Vicarage Cottage serves as a convenient base for exploring the surrounding attractions, such as the popular West Bay beach, located just six miles away along the World Heritage Jurassic Coast, and the renowned village of Abbotsbury, which features a famous swannery, children's farm, and subtropical gardens.
The bustling market town of Bridport, only five miles from the cottage, offers a vibrant mix of restaurants, shops, antique stores, and lively street markets, providing guests with ample opportunities for dining and shopping. Visitors to Vicarage Cottage will appreciate the blend of tranquility and accessibility to local attractions, ensuring a memorable stay in this beautiful part of West Dorset.
It is important for potential guests to note some unique features of the historic cottage. The stairs leading to the first-floor bedrooms are slightly uneven, which may pose a challenge for some guests. Additionally, the twin bedroom is accessible only through the first-floor double bedroom, making this layout more suitable for families with children. A stair gate is available upon request for added safety. While internet access is provided for recreational use, it is not intended for business purposes or streaming, and the speed may vary. Guests are advised to bring their own travel cot and highchair, as these are not available on-site.
