    “Honeybun cottage is a beautiful thatched in an idyllic Dorset village that provided a comfortable, peaceful and relaxing stay for my wife and I for two weeks.”

    It was just an ideal little cottage to stay at after many weeks of travelling from one spot to another. Osmington is in wonderful location for touring around the county of Dorset and we visited many of the recommended sites both in the countryside and on the Jurassic Coast. The main town of Weymouth is a short drive from Honeybun Cottage where you can get most of the things you need. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Honeybun Cottage in Osmington and would recommend it to others.

The property

A petite thatched chocolate box cottage, in the village of Osmington. This property is full of character, parts of property date from the 16th Century. As you arrive to the cottage you step into the sitting room which boasts a feature fire place and the beams on the ceiling show the charming characteristics of the cottage.

The kitchen and diner lead out to the garden, which is perfect for cooking the breakfast to then be enjoyed on the patio on a summer’s day.

Bedroom one and a shower room are on the ground floor and the upper floor has another bedroom with an en-suite.

This dainty little abode is nestled in the attractive village of Osmington; a peaceful village with stone and thatched cottages, it is an ideal location for country walks and horse riding.

The place name comes from the Old English personal name, Ă–smund, with ‘ington’, a farm.

Osmington has lots of history, with people living there for over 2000years.

The local coastal point is at Osmington Mills and a short car journey offers visits to the beaches at Lulworth, Ringstead and Weymouth.

A walk up the lane will take you to the Smugglers Inn, perfect for a light refreshment or a good pub meal.

A walk in the other direction will lead you to open countryside where etched into the chalk downs is the famous 'White Horse' with King George III riding back towards London.

Nearby is Sutton Poyntz a beautiful place to visit.

To walk to the village of Sutton Poyntz, the best way is walk to the back of Osmington Village and across 5 fields direct to the village of Sutton Poyntz.

Or you can go the long way around The White Horse and over the ridge.

Sutton Poyntz has a lovely duck pond and the Springhead Pub. The cottage is in the perfect location to base yourselves to discovering the delights of Dorset.

About the location

OSMINGTON

Osmington village, sits on the Jurassic coastline of Dorset, just 6 miles from Weymouth with it’s infamous beach and historic harbour and just 11 miles from Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Home to the famous Chalk hillside carving of George III on horseback, cut into the hillside to commemorate the Royal visits to Weymouth, this landmark can be seen from miles away. It is also the place that John Constable spent his honeymoon in 1816 and where he completed his painting of Weymouth Bay that now hangs in the National Gallery. The South West Coastal path runs through Osmington Mills, a tiny hamlet on the edge of Osmington. Here many walkers start their coast path walks at the Smugglers inn, where reputedly there are historic connections to smuggling. Be sure to visit to find out all the stories. A short drive will see you reach a local convenience store at Preston. Weymouth offers a larger variety of shopping, eating and entertainment choices.
