MARLES FARMHOUSE, pet friendly, luxury holiday cottage in Salwayash | Cottage in Pineapple Lane
6 Bedroom Cottage in Bridport, Pineapple Lane
This beautiful converted farmhouse in Salwayash is pet friendly, has a games room and can sleep twelve people in six bedrooms.
Tucked between the picturesque Dorset villages of Salwayash and Waytown, and perched on the edge of the stunning Marshwood Vale—part of the Dorset National Landscape -Marles Farmhouse offers the perfect mix of rustic charm and modern comfort. This detached, stone-built gem is surrounded by rolling green fields and approached via peaceful, wooded lanes; secluded and tranquil, with no nearby neighbours (the friendly owner lives discreetly on-site in a converted dairy), it's a true countryside retreat.
Lovingly refurbished in 2015 and thoughtfully updated since, the farmhouse blends original 19th-century features - thick stone walls, exposed beams, and a characterful fireplace - with eco-conscious modern upgrades with solid wall insulation, solar panels with battery storage, biomass heating, EV charging, and water heating systems - all designed to tread lightly on the planet.
Inside, the heart of the home is a huge, stylish kitchen with gleaming granite surfaces, a range cooker, and a spacious dining area perfect for gathering everyone together. After dinner, kick back in front of the cosy wood-burning stove in the sitting room, or head to the family/games room, complete with table football, TV/DVD/Blu-ray, and a Bluetooth-connected sound system - if you feel like a singalong, there’s even a piano for musical evenings.
The layout is ideal for all generations, with a twin bedroom and a shower room on the ground floor, perfect for guests with limited mobility. Two staircases lead to five more bedrooms upstairs - all with peaceful views of the garden and fields. There are two king-size rooms with en-suite showers, two flexible twins (which can convert to doubles) and a room with bunk beds - two further bathrooms round out the upper floor.
Step outside to a sunny rear terrace with picnic benches and a BBQ - ideal for lazy lunches or evening drinks. In the front the enclosed cottage garden overlooks sheep-dotted fields and a chicken coop (don’t worry—no cockerel!), offering a serene setting for morning coffee or wildlife watching - you might spot deer, foxes, owls, or bats. Kids will love the climbing frame, swings, and open-fronted garage with a table tennis setup.
Scenic, spacious, and wonderfully private, Marles Farmhouse is a fantastic base for exploring the very best of Dorset; from countryside walks straight from the front door to beach days at West Bay or Charmouth, and fossil-hunting along the Jurassic Coast to watersports in Weymouth.
