A cosy holiday cottage in the heart of Dorset’s Burton Bradstock

Lilac Cottage

Lilac Cottage is a two bedroom, English Heritage listed, dog friendly, thatched holiday cottage set in the picturesque village of Burton Bradstock on Dorset’s Jurassic Coast. Built over 350 years ago it is one of the oldest cottages in the village. 

The cottage has been fully refurbished with a stylish bathroom, updated kitchen and contemporary furniture throughout, providing comfortable modern living without losing the cosy character of a traditional Dorset cottage. Outside is a pretty enclosed garden that overlooks the cliffs and coast path, its the perfect retreat for your seaside holiday.

The National Trust’s Hive Beach is just a short walk over fields, where you will find its famous cliffs and the award winning Hive Beach Cafe. This unspoilt beach is perfect for children, dog walkers, fossil hunters, coastal and wildlife enthusiasts.

Lilac Cottage is just across the road from two award winning pubs, The Anchor and the Three Horseshoes which was recently voted best pub in Dorset. A real treat for foodies, both pubs are well known for the quality of their local food and drink. Foodies can read all about the amazing pubs and restaurants in and around the village in our Where to Eat guide.  West Bay, the pretty fishing harbour made famous by ITV’s Broadchurch, is just two miles away as is Bridport with its farmers market and weekly antiques market. See our photo gallery for a selection of  images that show off the village and the stunning beauty of the coastline and countryside that surrounds us.

Accommodation:
Ground Floor: Lounge. Kitchen/dining room. Bathroom with shower.
1st Floor: Master Bedroom with king size sleigh bed. Bedroom 2 twin singles or super king size double.

Garden: The garden was created by Penny who is a professional gardener and helped create the garden that won Gold at Hampton Court in 2023. The coastal themed garden is gated, with lawn and fully lit patio dining area overlooking the cliffs and The South West Coast Path.

The cottage has all the amenities you’d expect with full gas central heating, WiFi, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, TV, Blu Ray DVD player with a selection of recently released films, Nespresso coffee machine, travel cot, high chair, stair gate. Dogs are very welcome.

Lilac Cottage is a beautiful thatched cottage in a picturesque village. The cottage has been tastefully renovated with a secure garden which all made for a comfortable week. A bonus was how dog friendly both the cottage was and the local pubs, can recommend both the Anchor and Three Horseshoes.... See MoreSee Less

Lilac Cottage is a gorgeous thatched cottage in the idyllic village of Burton Bradstock. It has been lovingly refurbished with beautiful furnishings, the bedrooms have comfortable beds and sumptuous linen which make for a great nights sleep. There is even a little garden where one can enjoy a sundowner after a hard day at the beach! The beach is a short walk away across a field, the Three Horseshoes pub over the road serves fabulous food and there is even a chic cocktail lounge at the Seaside Boarding House, a boutique hotel overlooking the sea. All a short walk away! We had such a wonderful stay so we will certainly be back!... See MoreSee Less
