Chestnut Cottage, located in the serene hamlet of Rodden near Abbotsbury, Dorset, offers a delightful retreat on a working farm, just 1.6 miles from Portesham.

With its picturesque surroundings near the World Heritage Jurassic coastline, it serves as an ideal base for families or groups of friends seeking to explore the natural beauty and attractions of Dorset in a tranquil setting.
Upon entering Chestnut Cottage, guests are greeted by a cozy sitting room featuring exposed beams and stonework, creating a quintessential cottage ambiance enhanced by a woodburning stove.
