"a charming thatched cottage in a rural location "
This delightful thatched cottage is located in the West Dorset village of Whitchurch Canonicorum, only ten minutes from the seafront at Charmouth or Lyme Regis.
A cottage full of character and charm, Old Cross Cottage boasts many period features including an original fireplace and window seats. The age of the property does mean some of the doorways and rooms have restricted height. The garden, located on the other side of the lane, is mainly lawn with seating and is a haven for wildlife. The surrounding countryside is ideal for walkers with an abundance of footpaths and bridleways. Suitable for family groups this is an ideal cottage from which to explore the local coast and countryside. There is also a pub and play park within a ten minute walk.
Please note a £100 refundable security deposit is required for all bookings.

GOLD AWARD:
an accolade at 4 star for outstanding consistency and a minimum grade of 86% in all areas.
SILVER AWARD:
an accolade at 3 star for those properties which rate consistently high in all areas but can not achieve 4 star due to the restricted living space available for the numbers of guests it can comfortably sleep.
PLEASE NOTE: The percentages shown and number of stars awarded to a property reflect the OVERALL award by our inspector, where as in the full and detailed report, provided to property owners, percentages are awarded for each 'critcial area: public areas, bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens.
The number of stars awarded cannot exceed the lowest rating given in any critical area, which ensures consistency in all aspects of a property. It also means that, in some instances, the overall percentage may slightly exceed the number of stars awarded.
