About this property

An idyllic and charming thatched cottage beautifully furnished and presented.

Church Cottage is an attractive, thatched cottage nestling proudly next to the church in this friendly and popular Dorset village. The cottage has been carefully and beautifully furnished with each room lovingly dressed with eclectic art which perfectly compliments the stylish hand chosen furniture. The generous sitting room is the perfect space in which to unwind with bookshelves offering an extensive library for guests to enjoy whilst relaxing in front of the gas log fire on the sumptuous sofas. French doors open on to a sunny private terrace with elegant wooden benches which are perfect for enjoying the tranquil setting with a good book, and further up the wide garden steps is a beautiful second terrace with a table and chairs, just perfect for al fresco dining, where you can enjoy pretty views over the neighbouring churchyard and surrounding cottages. The light contemporary kitchen is very well equipped and guests can enjoy dining at the circular table.

On the first floor there are two spacious and comfortable en-suite bedrooms, both tastefully presented with stylish furnishings and each with a television.

4/10 Poor

Disappointing
Initially the cottage looks stylish but you don't have to be there long before you realise it's very tired and needs a refresh and deep clean.

A beautiful cottage in a very friendly and attractive village
Unfortunately we had to cut our stay short in this lovely property but we shall certainly be back. The owner has thought of everything for a comfortable holiday combined with stylish well appointed rooms. Welcoming locals and good walks with our dog. You will always know the time as the church has Westminster chimes!

Outstanding Cottage
Church Cottage is simply outstanding, the location, decor and facilities made for a great holiday. Cattistock is a beautiful village with very friendly locals, beautiful buildings and lovely walks. We will definitely be returning next year and hopefully the pub will be back open by then!

Beautiful Cottage
Lovely cottage in a great village, with all the amenities you will need. It’s a very comfortable home with a special garden with the church tower at the bottom. Very well placed for visiting the surrounding countryside and beaches. Would love to visit again.

First time booking
First time of using Dorset Cottages, and had a very good experience, whether we were online or on the phone. Once at the cottage all was as we were expecting and we just got on with our holiday, ideal ! Lovely part of the country, lots to explore. Only downside, the local pub was being refurbished, just means we have to come back.
