St. Anthonys Cottage - Langton Herring, Weymouth, Dorset, England

St Anthony’s Cottage fronts onto Shop Lane with the rear looking across an open field. The cottage is a very old, traditional Dorset cottage and, like Higher Farm Cottage, is on 3 levels with narrow, steep staircases making it unsuitable for anyone with limited mobility. On the ground floor is a good-sized sitting room with fitted carpet, inglenook fireplace (with wood burning stove), TV and video player. The sitting room connects with a split-level dining room and kitchen. The kitchen provides a cooker, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The rear entrance to the kitchen is via a back hall, off which are a laundry (washer, dryer and boiler) and a shower room (shower, WC and washbasin). From the sitting room there is access to an inner hall with staircase and a ground floor double bedroom (double bed and cot).

On the first floor is a large double bedroom with a queen size bed and a second, smaller double bedroom. Each bedroom is carpeted, with built-in wardrobes and chests of drawers. The second floor provides a bathroom with combined bath/shower, WC and, on a clear day, a view of the sea! To the rear there is a paved patio area and garden. The garden abuts one of Higher Farm's fields. Teak benches, a table and a barbecue are all provided.

There's a double garage with additional parking available by the farm entrance. The cottage is a stones throw, literally, from the church and the local village pub.

Sunday to Sunday weekly bookings. Short breaks available.
