Location

Information correct at the time of writing.

In the neighbouring village of Chideock you will find two pubs The Clock Inn and The George Inn, both offering traditional pub food and ales.
Just a two miles away is the beautiful beach at Seatown, predominately shingle with a shelving bank, it is great for those looking for a quiet spot to relax. Perched above the beach you can find the multi award-winning Anchor Inn, renowned for excellent seafood dishes with much of the produce caught locally. The location provides the perfect setting for eating out in the sunshine with Golden Cap to the west providing a magnificent backdrop.
The National Trust's Langdon Woods and Langdon Hill can be seen right from the cottage windows and make for a lovely walk, from here you can climb the famous Golden Cap – the highest point on the south coast with breathtaking panoramic views for miles.
Walkers are truly spoilt for choice in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where you can pick up the coastal path, with footpaths covering miles of the beautiful coastline offering stunning views en route.
The well stocked Felicity’s Farm Shop is a short drive and provides a variety of high quality, fresh and seasonal local produce.
Just a ten minute drive is Bridport, a thriving, quirky and cultural market town with a super reputation for its arts, culture, events and food. The town is a hive of activity with a mix of independent shops, cafes and restaurants.
West Bay lies just a mile on from Bridport and is an attractive and bustling harbour village. From here you can explore the dramatic Jurassic coastline by boat, or try and catch your supper on a mackerel fishing trip!
The historic seaside town of Lyme Regis is well worth a visit and offers something for everyone, from its fascinating fossil heritage to its family friendly sandy beach and not forgetting the iconic Cobb and harbour.
The picturesque village of Abbotsbury has several attractions to visit, including a Swannery, where you can see mute swans on their nests, feed the cygnets and spot many common and rare visiting birds throughout the year. The award winning Subtropical Gardens makes for a lovely day out, the gardens showcase a mixture of formal and informal flowers with rare and exotic plants from all over the world. Stop off for homemade cake and tea from the garden coffee shop and visit the excellent plant centre, where many of the flowers grown in the gardens can be purchased.

We've had an excellent Christmas week with our family in what may well be our new favourite Dorset cottage. I am sure we'll be back!

We've had a lovely week exploring West Dorset and have enjoyed taking in the lovely views from the garden and watching the birds, butterflies, bunnies, and alpacas! Had some lovely days in Charmouth, Lyme Regis, Hive and Chesil beaches. And venturing out to Sherbourne, Abbotsbury and Dorchester. We had a great time.

We've had a wonderful couple of weeks staying in Ryall and visiting Dorset for the first time. The house is lovely and the views are stunning! Not a sound except birds and no sign of another building as far as the eye can see.... We've enjoyed the beautiful local beaches at Hive beach and Seatown, Bridport antiques, Lyme Regis historic town, and lots more... Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

So lucky with the weather. It is a most attractive cottage and a delight to return to. We have enjoyed the footpaths, especially the one towards Venn Farm where we admired the goats, runner ducks and lambs. The sea at Charmouth was warm and it was interesting fossil hunting. We really appreciated Felicity's. A good relaxing week. The bird song was gorgeous.

We have enjoyed staying in many attractive country cottages over the years - but Hope Cottage stands out as one of the best, thanks to it perfect combination of comfort, character and location. Hope's bright and spacious interior has been wonderfully appointed and furnished with impeccable tate - with many delightful quirky touches that add to the overall ambience. Best of all are the unforgettable views stretching for miles across the rolling Dorset countryside. The most lasting impression of all will always be the delightful terraced garden sloping down from the cottage to a tree. The most lasting impression of all will always be the delightful terraced garden, sloping down from the cottage to the tree. Framed backdrops of meadows, woods and hills extending to the horizon. In short, Ryall Hope was for us, the Perfect 'Dorset Hideaway' and one that we shall long remember!

Thanks for a lovely, restful week in a truly delightful spot - the views over the hills are wonderful. We have really enjoyed re-acquainting ourselves with the delights of Dorset - we have climbed up the Golden Cap again and enjoyed a well-earned pint of Palmers in the Anchor Pub. Keeping the hill theme going, we also climbed to the top of Maiden Castle, on a particularly blustery day and listened to the skylarks singing. Lyme Regis and West Bay are also highly recommended and we loved shopping at Felicity's.

We enjoyed a sunny week with the glorious Hope Cottage views! The 15 minute walk up Hardown Hill is fantastic for coastal views. Highlights of the holiday were finding lots of bits of ammonite, Beer Quarry Caves, Abbotsbury Tropical Gardens and chilling on Chesil Beach. Felicity's Farm Shop at the end of Star Lane has also been a real treat!
