Description

Oakwood is a beautifully renovated, detached holiday home tucked away on a peaceful lane in the charming village of Chideock. Offering the perfect blend of countryside tranquillity and coastal adventure. Just moments from the A35, this spacious property enjoys excellent access to the stunning Jurassic Coast, with West Bay, Burton Bradstock, Seatown, and Lyme Regis all within easy reach.

Step inside and you’ll find a home that has been thoughtfully and extensively updated throughout, complete with stylish finishes and thoughtful touches to make it the perfect getaway for larger family groups or friends. The generous driveway provides parking for three or more vehicles.

The entrance hall leads into a large, light-filled living room with comfortable sofas, perfect for relaxing after your day exploring the coast. From here, walk through to the heart of the home: a stylish and well-equipped kitchen-diner. This sociable space is ideal for conjuring up delicious meals, whether you're preparing a hearty breakfast before a day of adventure or enjoying a relaxed evening meal with loved ones. With ample room for everyone to gather, it’s a space made for sharing food, laughter, and memories.

Upstairs, Oakwood offers four bedrooms, including one double bedroom with a sleek ensuite shower room. There are a further two double bedrooms and a single bedroom with optional pull-out truckle bed, ideal for younger guests. The family bathroom is newly fitted with a double walk-in shower, wash basin, and WC, all accessed from a spacious landing that enhances the airy feel of the home.

Outside, the rear garden is fully enclosed, with a lawn and patio area perfect for alfresco dining or relaxing with a glass of wine at the end of the day.

Just a short stroll away, the village shop and two welcoming pubs, The George Inn and The Clock House Inn, both offer a warm welcome and local food and beverages. A small convenience store in the village is perfect for topping up your day-to-day essentials, with Felicity’s Farm Shop on the edge of Chideock open daily and selling a good selection of fresh produce and bakery goods. A little further on, the neighbouring hamlet of Seatown beckons with its beach and the renowned Anchor Inn, nestled right on the edge of the coast.

Chideock itself is a gem of a village, nestled between Bridport and Lyme Regis. With its cob and sandstone cottages, rolling farmland, and dramatic cliffs, it offers a quintessential Dorset experience. The area is rich in history, from fossil hunting along the Jurassic Coast to tales of smugglers and Civil War sieges. Whether you're exploring the ruins of Chideock Castle or hiking up Golden Cap for panoramic views, there's always something to discover.

For days out, head to Charmouth beach for fossil hunting and family-friendly beach fun, or explore the vibrant market town of Bridport, known for its arts scene, independent shops, and lively Saturday market.

Whether you're seeking coastal walks, fossil hunting, pub lunches, or simply a peaceful coastal retreat, Oakwood is your gateway to it all.

We really enjoyed our family holiday in Oakwood in Dorset.

The house was well located in a quiet road. It was convenient for the beaches and shopping, everything we needed was within an easy drive. The house itself was clean and comfortable. I would like to make a few suggestions to improve the guest experience. A hand towel in the downstairs toilet would be good, as on arrival from a long journey it is usually the first place to visit and searching for one with wet hands not ideal! The bins should really be checked as each room had a bin that had not been emptied from the previous occupant. Checking for lost property would be an idea as I found clothing in a drawer in two bedrooms. The kitchen had most things needed. But for those of us that cook, the size of the saucepans for up to eight people were inadequate. Some large ones with lids would be good. I would also suggest replacing the scratched non stick frying pans. It seems a waste for every visitor to have to buy dishwasher tablets/ washing up liquid etc when they won't be left for the next visitor. Perhaps leave one dishwasher tab for each day? The welcome packs were appreciated and we enjoyed the local apple juice/ tea/ coffee etc. Overall our experience was good and I would happily spend another holiday at Oakwood. It was good to see that the previous comments had been taken on board and bins provided and plenty of mugs (they weren't all dishwasher proof though).

A good holiday house, plenty of room with good entertainment areas.

A sizable garden, ideal for a game of badminton. Bathrooms have been recently updated and are excellent. Plenty of crockery and cutlery. Only downsides are, the windows, not only very dirty but someone has tried to clean them with an inappropriate cleaner resulting in a bloom which is difficult to see through. Saucepans, only 3 small pans, which is not enough for 6 people, and no pan lids. Cobwebs, lots in the house when we arrived.

Lovely house in quiet location with easy access to local beaches.

Be aware that there are restrictions on beach access for dogs. Lacking a few kitchen items but overall very good. The downstairs windows were mostly blown which need replacing and beds on the small side, The inside of the house was excellent and has totally been refurbished. Garden secure and good for the children. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to family and friends
