This is our 3rd visit to Chiddy Nook. And it's gets better every time the cottage is so beautiful. Jane and Laurie are the perfect host. We would love to live there permanently.
We had a beautiful 2 weeks at Chiddy Nook. Within 5 minutes we were settled.
Jane and Laurie are the perfect hosts. Not forgetting George the Tortoise.
Chideock is a charming village set on a busy road. The cottage is set back far enough that the road isn't an issue. Great pubs nearby. Hive beach 20 mins drive (best beach in the area and dog friendly)
It's just perfect. A hidden gem. 20/10

Already when we arrived at the cottage my husband and I were pleasantly surprised - the cottage is set into a lovely little courtyard-type garden. Obviously some care has been taken in carefully landscaping the garden, with seating areas dispersed throughout, so that one is always likely to catch some sun on a sunny day. When we entered the cottage, we were immediately struck by the cosiness of the living room - it just oozes charm. The kitchen was everything a kitchen should be and there was a lovely surprise welcome tray on which stood a yummy loaf of white bread, butter and a lemon drizzle cake! Tea and milk were also at hand. This was most welcome after a longish drive and we sat down immediately to sample the totally delicious cake and tea. And the Chideock location is great - one can walk down to Seatown to the beach in about 10-15 minutes, which has a good pub, the Anchor, where one can admire the setting sun (although it was a bit too nippy for us to sit outside in April). Chideock itself also has a pub within 10 minutes' walk, the George. Until Easter this year, there was also another pub pretty much opposite the B&B to which this cottage is attached. However, the poor Clockhouse Inn burned down, just leaving a shell, and if it is built up from scratch again, it will take at least a year, I should think. But as the other two pubs are within walking distance, the lack of this one was not a problem at all. Also a short drive away were Bridport, Charmouth, Lyme Regis and Hive Beach (part of the scenery of TV crime drama "Broadchurch"), where the sandstone cliffs were absolutely stunning! And as we were blessed with lovely sunny warm spring weather, our holiday was pretty much perfect in every way! On the one grey day we had, we joined the guided tour at Palmers' Brewery in Bridport. Perfect!
