About this property
Portesham 1.6 miles. Resting in the quiet and picturesque village of Langton Herring, lies Lower Farm Cottage, a truly peaceful property in the coastal town of Dorset and close to the World Heritage Jurassic Coast and surrounding countryside. Exuding character and charm, this traditional property boasts beautiful and original features whilst perfectly combining contemporary conveniences to ensure you and your family or group of friends have a superb self-catering stay. Step inside this attractive abode and be welcomed into the sitting room, home to exposed wooden beams and stonework along with the added warmth of an inglenook fireplace, the ideal spot for cosying up on those chilly evenings as you enjoy a film or family games night. The delightful English country kitchen diner is spacious and has all you need to rustle up a tasty meal for all to enjoy whilst planning your holiday itinerary or reminiscing on the past days’ adventures. When night draws in, climb the stairs to one of the two bedrooms; one super king room and one triple room housing 3 single beds and an en-suite with basin and WC, along with an additional groundfloor bathroom with bath, over-head shower, basin and wc. The cottage boasts a large south facing garden and sheltered patio area where children and dogs can play safety whilst you enjoy some alfresco dining in the warmer months, and just across the road next to the main farmhouse, you will find The Old Stable, a communal games room with a football and tennis table along with a selection of games and books to borrow and read at your leisure. The bustling town of Weymouth can be reached within a 15-minute drive and here you will find a whole host of attractions for all ages. Revel in a pure bucket and spade fun on the glorious golden sandy beach teamed with safe and shallow waters, perfect for taking a dip or getting involved in some of the water sports on offer. The attractive esplanade is lined with shops, bars and cafes for you to grab a bite to eat or buy a souvenir to take back home, and the old historic harbour is a fabulous spot to sit and watch all the comings and goings of luxury yachts, fishing trawlers, tall ships, RNLI Lifeboats and across harbour rowing ferries. However you choose to spend your holiday, Lower Farm Cottage is an ideal home away from home and promises to be a joy to return to each day after exploring all things Dorset.
The charming community of Chickerell can be found nestled on the outskirts of the vibrant seaside town of Weymouth, on the incredible Jurassic Coastline. Home to two well-stocked supermarkets, a welcoming pub and a selection of cafés, restaurants and takeaways, visitors to the area have all their needs covered. Spend your days exploring the nearby towns of Dorchester and Bournemouth, or head over to the Isle of Portland for an action-packed adventure.

We particularly enjoyed the real fire although it is important to buy kindling, logs are supplied and very plentiful. Everything we needed was there in way of crockery and utensils, luckily my daughter who had previously visited one of the other holiday homes at the farm, had warned us toilet rolls and bin bags would be in short supply, especially when shops would be closed for Christmas. Which is a fair way to travel anyway. So we had taken extra. Also the owner allowed us an extra hour to check out, to which we were very grateful. For 5 to get showered, packed up (we had a lot for Xmas) and clean the house as requested is very tight. We did also feel 5pm is very late to check in, in winter when it is very dark although the cottage was left very welcoming, lit up and with wine and biscuits, thank you. It was also beautifully decorated for Christmas. It is a very dark area though and unfamiliar if a first visit so recommend a torch. The description should be amended to say the Elm Tree public house is temporarily closed. We had booked a Christmas meal there and, unfortunately and very disappointingly, informed it was closed just prior to our visit. By this time the cottage was already booked. Hence we took a lot of food. It is very dog friendly and safe in the garden. The cottage heating was on timer and perfect for us. Just a note to be careful of the stairs. We didnât find the games room, but there are a couple of games in the house and please note there is a key safe on both back and front door with the same code, not just the front door which was confusing on arrival. So maybe the description should be amended to reflect all of the above.

The views are stunning and there is an excellent pub within walking distance. Dorset has so many attractions which will mean you returning again and again.

Lovely and peaceful location in a quiet village, but an easy drive to local attractions. Would like to thank the owners for our goodies on arrival. My husband and son especially liked walking our dog around the village, our dog especially loved playing ball in the huge garden. We had a lovely stay despite the unseasonal weather. Would definitely recommend this cottage, I would say if you have mobility problems I'd give it a miss, the path at the back of the cottage was quite steep and the loose gravel made it quite slippy when wet. The stairs could be a bit of a hazard, due to the low banister at the top of the stairs. Other than the weather we had a lovely week thank you
