More information
The space

19th century luxury

Our semi-detached former workers cottage has been beautifully restored and refurnished in 2018 and now offers; granite worktops, USB charging points, a dishwasher and a laundry room. All bedding and towels are of the highest quality just to make your stay that bit more comfortable.

Four humans and a furry friend

Just a stones throw away from the heart of Beaminster, our welcoming two bedroom holiday home accommodates up to four guests and a small furry friend if you have one.

Cosy night in

With a cosy lounge and a toasty log burner, the cottage will give you a warm feeling whatever the weather. We also supply a selection of toys for the little people as well as DVDs and games for the whole family to play. So go on, turn off the tech and really enjoy the ones you love.

Alfresco delights

The cottage has a small but beautifully formed courtyard garden where you can enjoy fabulous countryside views from the comfort of our up-cycled ‘bath bench’.

Don’t forget the herbs

If you want rosemary for your lamb joint or mint for your mojito, you can help yourself to our free and very fresh herb garden in the butler sink.

Guest access

Guests can access the entire cottage apart from a small loft room which we keep for private use.

Interaction with guests

Whilst I won't be available in person I have a house keeper in the local area just in case you need anything. There is also a comprehensive welcome pack in the cottage which contains all the information you need for your stay.

Other things to note

Upon arrive you will be welcomed with a taste of Dorset as we provide a box of goodies to make you feel at home. But if you need any urgent supplies, you’ve got a shop just 20 yards from the front door and a pub 100 yards away.

Great location
The cottage was well appointed, all the basics were covered and it suited us well for a long weekend. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and provided some basics too. I hadn't realised the bathroom was downstairs and whilst not devastating it did cause me some concern with night time use. The cottage was superficially clean, but there were some areas of inattention. I did raise one issue with the owner and apologies were given, along with a bottle of wine, but I hope that steps will also be taken to prevent reoccurence.

We enjoyed a lovely stay at this cottage. Location for walking to Beaminster town is perfect and the local Spar is just a stones through away. Cottage is well equipped and wifi was good enough for all 4 of us. Some lovely local walks around and never had any problems parking right outside. Would recommend to all..

Cosy Martock Cottage
We loved our stay in Martock Cottage. We were especially looking for a holiday stay with comfortable and dog secure outside space, this was perfect at Martock, Eddie loved sitting on the bathtub bench and watching the wildlife. Inside was beautifully clean and very charming. Very well placed for walking into Beaminster for food at some lovely eateries. Thank you again x

Lovely cottage
We had a lovely stay at Martock Cottage . We live in a quiet village location so found that neighbourhood and road noise disturbed us. Hence not a 5/5 for location. However having shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants within walking distance was a real bonus.

The cottage was excellent, very clean and comfortable, the beds were also very comfortable, my only problem was the stairs and that's down to me getting old and my mobility, but apart from that it was brilliant, shop just a few doors up from the cottage, that stocked just about everything you could want. Also Dorset is such lovely place, and there was plenty of places to visit all within an hours drive. Thankyou for such a lovely stay

Lovely cottage in a nice village location
Myself, my husband, two children (age 7 and 11) and our dog stayed for a week mid-August and we loved it! The cottage itself has been done to a really high standard and there was nothing we were left wanting for. Tracy, the owner, got in touch a few weeks before our stay to confirm the check in process and give us some other information, and again on the day or arrival to check we’d arrived and all was ok. The garden is small but beautifully peaceful with the field of sheep behind us which the dog very much enjoyed keeping an eye on. The village is perfect-two lovely, friendly pubs, nice shops and cafes and lots of dog walking routes on your doorstep. It was only a short drive to nearby Bridport which is a lovely town to spend a few hours in. We also visited the beaches at West Bay and Eype. Wish we’d had time to get to Hive Beach and Burton Bradstock but we very much enjoyed a very restful week here. Thank you Tracy and family!

Fantastic
Lovely clean, small but spacious property. Definitely somewhere I would stay again. Clear check in instructions. Bread and milk left for us. Very soft , fall into bed. Double bed , and a spare room with twin beds/not used. Shop 15 secs walk. Nice table to have breakfast at. Enclosed garden to let the dog out, so you don't have to worry. Just didn't like the check out time of 9am, I know you have to clean up but I'm sure it could be moved to 9.30 or 10am.

Really lovely cottage.
We stayed for a week in this lively cottage in a really lovely village, it has everything you need, even a lovely field behind for children to play in. The cottage has everything you need, and is cosy and inviting. The owner communicated well and was helpful with any advice needed. My only complaint was that the toilet seat was a bit broken when we arrived, it wobbled and moved, and my 9 year old sat on it and it came off with her falling on the floor. The owner charged us £60 for this, and there was no discussion to be had with regards to this.
