About this property

Rainbow Cottage is a stone and thatched four-bedroom cottage built in 1994. Cleverly designed by an award winning builder, to be in keeping with neighbouring cottages, it has all the charm of old but all the benefits of spacious and family friendly accommodation.

Rainbow is a home from home. It's very pretty and is very well-equipped. There is a log fire, large screen television and an excellent DVD library.Many visitors return again and again to soak up the peaceful, tranquil, warm and cosy atmosphere. Well behaved pets are welcome.

Litton Cheney is a particularly attractive conservation village hidden deep in the Bride Valley between Bridport and Dorchester. It is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The nearest bathing beach is just 3 miles away at Burton Bradstock on the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage site. There is a pub in the village. There is also a delightful secluded children's playground just a minute's walk away from the cottage.

Amazing stay at rainbow cottage

Me and my family had a lovely stay at rainbow cottage. It is set in the beautiful village of Litton Cheney and only takes 10mins to get to the sea. The property was cosy and well equipped. The host Caroline was lovely and was easy to contact and always happy help. I would definitely recommend rainbow cottage.
