WASHINGPOOLS, pet friendly, with open fire in West Bexington
This converted stone barn is in the village of West Bexington near to Burton Bradstock in Dorset and can sleep two people in one bedroom.
Washingpools is a well-equipped, cosy property situated in the West Bexington just outside the village of Burton Bradstock near to the town of Bridport in Dorset and benefits from the countryside. The cottage can sleep two people in a double room with a wet room. The rest of the property is all open plan, the cosy kitchen, dining room and sitting room with a wood burning stove. Outside of the property is off road parking for 2 cars and extensive garden area surrounding the countryside. Welcomes two well behaved dogs, so Washingpools is perfect for a couple and their dog looking for a countryside retreat. Note: max 2 people. Note: no WiFi. Note: whilst part of Washingpool's charm is being 'off the beaten track' and surrounded by countryside, please be aware that the access is quite literally off the beaten track! There is a short drive of 2-3 minutes down a private road which is bumpy and unmade in places. The last 20 yards from the parking area is on foot down a concrete slope to a small metal walkway over a pretty little stream and then a few steps across grass to the front door. Please do not deviate from the concreted area as you may get stuck in the mud. Note: please take care when turning your car, there is a bump in the concrete paving and grass opposite so stay on the paved area whilst turning. Note: we advise arriving in daylight to find the access lane and onward to the property. Please bring a torch if arriving in the dark.

Town: On the doorstep of the sea and Chesil Beach, and between Burton Bradstock and Abbotsbury, is the small village of West Bexington. This is a stunning area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, as well as an area of Special Scientific Interest - pebbled Chesil Beach, which extends for 14 miles, from Burton Bradstock to the Portland peninsula, is part of the Jurassic Coast and now a World Heritage Site. Fishermen and walkers are well provided for, as a great variety of fish can be caught at any time of year, and the South West Coastal Path runs right alongside the beach. Only confident swimmers should attept to swim here, but Weymouth beach with golden sands and shallow waters, offers a lovely beach option, is only a short drive away. There's lots to see and do within easy reach of the village. No journey to this area would be complete without a visit to picturesque Abbotsbury, 3 miles, with its Swannery, Tithe Barn and Sub Tropical Gardens, with Dorchester, Bridport, and Lyme Regis all within easy reach.

Very good

Washing Pools was the perfect place for two people and two dogs.
Overlooking fields and Lyme Regis offers a spectacular sea view and coastline - we were very lucky with the weather. And if you enjoy walking, peace and quiet, and lots of rabbits for the dogs to chase (sorry rabbits!), this is the place for you. Five minutes away from the Club House Restaurant and The Manor Restaurant Hotel (+bar) and the farm shop at Modbury Farm was an added bonus.
The place needs a few tweaks but we'd definitely book again.
The property had real pros for us with 2 dogs big field for them to run around in. Easy access at bottom left corner of field to the beach road, we recommend The Manor for food & drink.
The property was cosy and clean and was a good base for walking.
My only issues is the property needs money being spent on it, new path from gate to door and internally new couch and bed
I recommend it to anyone looking for a break from the everyday hustle and bustle!
