Description
Honeypot Cottage is a delightful converted single-storey stone barn, one of eight cottages set around an attractive shared courtyard at the Berehayes Farm. Sleeping up to three guests, the cottage features a comfortable double bedroom and a separate single bedroom, making it well suited to couples, small families or friends looking for a relaxing rural retreat.
The interior is bright, and cheerful throughout. The open-plan living space is warm and welcoming, with leather sofas, a wood-burning stove and a Smart TV, all complemented by a striking high vaulted ceiling with exposed beams that adds character and a wonderful sense of space. The country-style kitchen is fully equipped for easy self-catering and includes a dining area for relaxed meals together. The modern bathroom offers a spacious walk-in shower. Honeypot Cottage is also pet friendly, so your dog is welcome to join you on your holiday.
Guests can enjoy use of the communal swimming pool complex available during the school holidays. An allocated parking space is provided within the on-site car park for added convenience.
A welcome pack for your arrival ensures a great start to your holiday and will include milk, tea and a selection of locally sourced produce and treats.
Honeypot Cottage is set in the peaceful village of Whitchurch Canonicorum, tucked away on the southern edge of the Marshwood Vale. The village has a welcoming pub and lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The dramatic Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and the National Trust’s Golden Cap are both just a short drive away. The nearby coastal village of Charmouth is particularly popular with fossil hunters, young and old alike, and the Heritage Coast Centre offers guided walks along this famous stretch of coastline. Its broad beach is ideal for scenic walks, rock pooling and relaxed days by the sea, with a choice of cafés and pubs for lunch or a traditional cream tea. A little further along the coast, the historic seaside town of Lyme Regis combines classic seaside charm with a vibrant cultural scene. Wander along the iconic Cobb harbour, explore independent shops and galleries, take a boat trip, or dine on fresh local seafood in one of the many restaurants overlooking the sea. The sandy beach is perfect for families, while the surrounding coastal paths offer breathtaking walking routes. A stop at Felicity’s Farm Shop, just a short distance away, is highly recommended for delicious local produce and tempting homemade treats.
With so much to see and do close by, Honeypot Cottage provides an ideal base from which to explore the very best of Dorset’s countryside, coastline and food scene.

What guests are saying
This cottage is in a good location but be patient on the single track access road.
The cottage was okay but is looking a bit tired and could do with some tlc.Thexrain shower head switch was missing so you could only use the wand but water was good and hot.Tray dies not drain quickly so water starts to lap over the top of the tray (I had already cleaned the trap for them.) Bed linen and towels were clean and rest of property had been surface cleaned but it could do with a deep clean.Too many utensils and mugs, chipped dishes and random assortment of cutlery that along with mugs needs a visit to a dishwasher. Has been a stunning property in 80s but now tired.Swimming pool was good but again the shower in the complex needs attention.(wand hose split and broken and tray could do with an upgrade. Shared courtyard means very close proximity to other guests but listing does say shared. The giant fir sale 7 cottages board on arrival did not feel welcoming. We enjoyed our stay despite the issues listed but felt it was overpriced for what was on offer .
We had a very pleasant stay.
The accommodation was exceptionally clean and well presented throughout. The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed, which made the stay comfortable and convenient. The location is excellent, set in a lovely area with a peaceful atmosphere. There are nice tables and chairs outside, which are perfect for sitting in the sun and relaxing. There is also an indoor pool available on site, although we didn’t use it during our stay. Overall, a very comfortable and enjoyable place to stay, and we would happily return.
Thank you for a lovely stay in Dorset.
We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed the sunshine at Forde Abbey, Lyme and some lovely beaches. The pool is a lovely add-on and we enjoyed the arrival bag to- excellent touches.
