Very peaceful and comfortable cottage in lovely surroundings
Grace Cottage is a very quiet and cosy 1920s semi-detached cottage which is off the beaten track but near the centre of Sydling St Nicholas, a picture-book village surrounded on all sides by gorgeous countryside. An attractive enclosed garden runs round the property on three sides. The ground floor is particularly bright and spacious and the roomy kitchen/dining area is well equipped. The stairs leading to the first floor are equipped with a handrail but they are steeper than average which might affect those with mobility issues. However, there is sleeping accommodation for one on the ground floor, as well as a small shower room/toilet. The main bathroom is on the first floor, along with the two bedrooms (one with king-size bed; the other has two singles). Free phone and wifi is provided.
A friendly award-winning local pub is within easy walking distance and there is a children's playground nearby.
There is one parking space for the cottage but further spaces are available in the lane leading to the cottage and also across the green to the front of the house - you might be lucky and see a kingfisher darting up the stream there!
Grace Cottage is much loved by several longstanding visitors, who have been coming here for ten years and more. Sydling is a very friendly village and while the cottage is perfect for those wanting a quiet break in an unspoilt area, there is also plenty to see and do within easy reach.

Lovely home away from home
We have been lucky enough to stay at Grace cottage a number of times over the years. It remains a firm family favourite. The house and garden feel like a home away from home.The area itself is a lovely place to stay, with a little park nearby, a lovely stream to walk along and a friendly pub a short walk away.Plenty to see locally with Dorchester a short drive away.

Lovely base for some summertime memories
Clean, homely and well located - being central to places such as Weymouth, Yeovil, West Bay, Lulworth Cove and Lyme Regis. Dorchester very close for shopping (no shops in the village itself). Nice walks around, including Cerne Abbas and it’s giant. Thanks for a lovely family holiday.

The weather was superb. The cottage was cosy, light and airy, nicely decorated albeit some furnishings a liitle tired and had a delightful enclosed garden. Sydling is a very pretty, friendly village with challenging walks and an excellent village inn with delicious food.

It was really nice communicating with Diane and I’m glad she gave an up-to-date recommendation for the pub which is under new ownership but the food is as good as ever. I take her point about the curtains upstairs being ‘a little tired’ and that is something to act on. Otherwise the furniture is of good quality and in keeping with a 1920s cottage.

Beautiful cottage in the heart of dorset
Absolutely stunning cottage in a quintessential dorset village, all the family (3 adults + 2 children) had the most amazing time, perfect location to take in all the splender that dorset has to offer.
Fantastic for walks to take in all the rolling hills and farm land or short walk to one of the most friendliest pubs iv been into serving incredible food.
Perfect communication from the property owner and description of accommodation.
Would highly recommend

Lovely stay in Grace Cottage
Had a wonderful week in Grace Cottage, the cottage is so well equipped and thought out you have everything you could possibly need to relax and enjoy the week and more besides, lovely secure garden for dogs, even the tiniest tiny dog couldn't find an escape route! The village is so pretty with walks from the door and The Greyhound Inn down the road was an excellent local with wonderful food. Grace Cottage is close to everything a wonderful base, super host ( thankyou for the welcome gifts) and we highly recommend it.

Thank you also for leaving it so tidy - much appreciated as just for once I arrived before the cleaners, and late at night!

Beautiful, peaceful place
Overall excellent but really needs 2 good sized bathrooms when there are 2 couples staying. Also a mention of low ceiling upstairs that proved a problem for a 6ft 3 inch guest.

It was good to hear this group thought the cottage was excellent overall. The headroom is about 6' in the doorways of the 2 bedrooms and for three paces in the short passage between the 2nd bedroom to the bathroom. The ceiling height in the bedrooms and bathroom is about 9'. The main bathroom is a good size and while the space in the shower room/toilet had to be restricted it is still a useful addition to a two-bedroom cottage.

Comfy cottage in idyllic village
Emily provided really helpful information so as we could plan and be assured of local facilities, etc. Welcome gifts were personalised and very thoughtful - as well as tasty! Beautiful village, friendly locals and great dog friendly pub with lots of atmosphere. Fell in love with the window seat in this property! Great walks from the door and perfect base for coast and wider countryside/towns.

Lovely cottage with secure garden in a quiet village .
We only had a short stay in this lovely cottage . The village of Sydling St Nicholas was very English and naturally quiet , therefore , our holiday was just what we wanted . Our two small dogs really enjoyed the freedom of the cottage garden and seemed to be delighted to find a stream just a short distance from the front gate . All in all a very pleasant break in a very lovely area .

Peace and tranquillity
The cottage is very spacious for a 3 bed semi and it has a lovely wrap around walled garden. You are in the heart of the village with many walks on your doorstep. The Greyhound pub in the village is excellent and only 2 miles away you have yet more pubs in Cerne Abbas.
The cottsge is fully equipped like a home from home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will probably return within the next 12 months.

Lovely cottage in quiet location
We had a fantastic Christmas at the cottage. Emily was a tremendous host and excellent at communicating. The cottage was lovely and clean and warm. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. There was also an extensive range of basic food in the kitchen - in fact much more than anticipated! The wifi was good and there was a good range of books and local guides etc.
It was nice to have a safe garden for our dog and also to have the car parking so close by.
The local pub is literally only 2 minutes walk away and has very friendly staff. The area is good for walking and the location is quiet at night.
Overall we would definitely want to re book this cottage in the future.

Lovely cottage in gorgeous village
We absolutely loved our time at Grace Cottage. The cottage was well appointed and cosy and we quickly felt at home. The spacious yard was a nice spot for outdoor dining and the bench seat in the light-filled dining area was a beautiful place to read and eat. The Greyhound Inn just up the road was a big hit with the family as well. Emily was a wonderful host and we hope to return soon!

Well equipped, spotlessly clean, spacious, comfortable, well heated, plenty of hot water, set in a charming, quiet village.

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Emily Weber
Mum and Dad were born and bred in the immediate area and I spent a very happy childhood with my many cousins in West Dorset. When Dad died, Mum moved to Sydling and spent the later years of her life here in the 1980s and 1990s. I work away from the area but had been holidaying at the cottage for over ten years and was very happy to be able to take it over when the previous owner decided to sell in 2014.
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
I always loved Sydling for its friendliness, the feeling of getting away from it all, and the beautiful rolling hills all around. The cottage has always felt like a home from home to with its general feeling of calm and cosiness, and I particularly like the way the light pours into the downstairs rooms even in the depths of winter. Many people who have come here, regulars like me or friends passing through, have felt the same and commented on its special atmosphere. Needless to say I was thrilled to be able to buy it when the chance came up in 2014!
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
The cottage offers complete tranquillity, in my experience, day and night. The garden is an enclosed area where small children and dogs can play. The downstairs living space separates naturally into areas where people can chat, read, watch TV, get on the laptop or have a snooze without having to be part of one big group. The central heating is particularly efficient and does a good job in keeping everyone cosy in the winter! There is a wide range of things to do and see in the area, including outdoor activities (walking, bird-watching, beaches) to more cultural pursuits, such as visiting country gardens and houses (including those associated with Thomas Hardy novels), as well as local markets and arts centres.
