Wildflower Cottage

Wildflower Cottage is a detached stone holiday cottage lying in the picturesque village of Sutton Poyntz just a couple of miles from Weymouth and the Jurassic Coast. Just a short walk from the door takes you to the mill pond where you can feed the already extremely well fed ducks. Just by the pond is the Springhead pub serving local ale and a varied menu. A shop is also within walking distance and in fact the walking from here is excellent with wonderful countryside and coastal views along the way. Weymouth lies just 2 miles away with a golden sandy beach and lots of choice on where to eat out and lots more shops. There are lots of coastal villages and areas to explore in both directions including Portland, Abbotsbury, Burton Bradstock, West Bay, Charmouth and Lyme Regis towards the west and Osmington, Ringstead, West Lulworth, Kimmeridge and Swanage to the east. Attractions within a short drive include the excellent Tank Museum, Monkey World and the 5 museums at Dorchester which lies just a 12 minute drive away.

The accommodation at Wildflower Cottage comprises of a sitting/dining room with patio doors leading to the garden and equipped with a TV, WiFi and a dining table and seating for six. The kitchen comes equipped with a gas hob and electric oven, fridge, freezer and washing machine. A cloakroom rounds off the ground floor. Upstairs there are three bedrooms arranged as a king size double with en suite shower room, a double and a twin bedroom. The bathroom has bath, shower cubicle, basin and toilet.

Outside is a pretty garden with sunny patio area and roses and mature trees providing shade if wanted. There is off road parking for two cars. Your fuel, power, bed linen and towels are all included in the price.

Sutton Poyntz

If you thought about the quintessential English village you may well have found it in Sutton Poyntz. With many old thatched cottages, a pond with bench seats under the weeping willows with ducks expectantly waiting for some bread to be thrown, a village hall and a church hall and a pub, The Sprinhead, Sutton Poyntz has everything you would expect. It has existed since about 100 years before the Norman Conquest.

Aside from The Sprinhead pub in the heart of the village there are two other pubs within walking distance, The Spice Ship and The Bridge. Being pretty much on the edge of Weymouth, however, you will never have a problem with choice - the possibilities are almost endless. There are no shops actually in Sutton Poynts but two convenience stores very close by along Preston Road.

There are many events organised throughout the year from plant sales and a scarecrow competition to a village barbecue and a cream tea afternoon. If you need to work off some calories after such an event there are plenty of walks on your doorstep with great views over the Osmington White Horse and the Jurassic Coastline along the Dorset coast.
