Delightful thatched cottage in beautiful sleepy Dorset village and countryside

Yoah Cottage has been lovingly refurbished to provide a comfortable & cosy stay. Yoah still boosts many original character with exposed beams & brickwork. The cottage is situated in the sleepy Dorset village of West Knighton, with the added bonus of family-owned pub next door. Yoah sleeps up to 9 guests, with 5 bedrooms compromising of 3 king size bedrooms, 1 twin room, plus a single bedroom downstairs. Plenty of parking with a garden to enjoy.

Welcome cooked family meals are available to pre-order, these are freshly prepared by the pub chefs so why not have a Cottage Pie or Thai Vegetable Curry or Lasagne or Fish Pie waiting for you when you arrive to just heat up, with a chilled glass of wine or two already waiting in the fridge. You could order a meal for every night so no hassle finding the local shop or cooking!!

Meals are made in a traditional family oven dish, and serve 6 standard portions, they will be left in the fridge for your arrival and cost £25 each, wine can be pre-ordered to, with Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot white wine, Merlot and Malbec in red, these are £15 a bottle, and must be pre-ordered by email.

West Knighton is a great base for many countryside walks, and a short drive to the Jurassic Coast and if needed many many family attractions.

Relaxing stay in lovely Dorset cottage
We (7 adults, 2 children and 1 dog) had a lovely New Year break in this cottage. The location is great (with the pub next door) and the village itself and nice and quiet.The cottage has everything you need and more!

Fantastic location for exploring Jurassic coast
Lovely old thatched property , perfect for a girlie weekend away. Beware anyone tall as low beams/ceilings in places. I would thoroughly recommend pre ordering food for the house from the pub next door - very cheap, very generous portions and very delicious. Probably the best cottage pie we’ve ever had!!! Great location being only 10 mins from Weymouth and 20mins to Lulworth Cove. Also it’s worth a stroll through the village as there are some beautiful old properties.

60th Birthday weekend
My Husband loves Dorset, and how better to spend time in this lovely county celebrating his 60th birthday than in this adorable thatched cottage. Full of character yet modern, clean and comfortable. We all loved staying at Yoah Cottage with the added bonus of The new Inn next door. Would highly recommend this accommodation for a break in the country

Dorset Break
The cottage is on a nice location and is spacious. What let it down for us was that it was not very clean. It was dusty, the bathrooms needed a good going over and hair was blow led in the plug holes. What an absolute shame the owners didn’t think to get this sorted, as with a few minor changes it would have scored much higher.

Took some time to get used to low doorways (and a few headaches) but overall we all enjoyed our stay very much and Stacey was just great.

Beautiful house in a quiet location
The house was very clean and comfortable. It’s on a road but it’s a very quiet road so we didn’t notice any traffic sounds. Beautiful village setting with easy access to nice beaches and walks. Thankyou for hosting us!

Beautiful, thatched cottage.
The cottage was stunning -perfect English thatched cottage -beautiful and spacious with comfortable beds and we loved watching the sun set over the fields from the back garden. We took our golden doodle dog and went on many walks all around the incredible coast. The pub supplied 2 meals -fish pie and veg curry and both were delicious. A peaceful little village with walks straight from the house too. We hope to return!
