Location near Bridport excellent. Very peaceful. Wood burner and unlimited logs were appreciated. Upstairs bedroom and bathroom pleasant. Good showers. Uncomfortable sofas downstairs made relaxing difficult. Immediate surroundings a bit ramshackle.

This wonderfully cosy cottage is an easy 15 minute walk from the centre of Bridport down a beautiful tree-lined lane. Walks directly from the cottage take you up onto the hills with beautiful views. A 40 minute walk takes you to the beach at West Bay. It is a great centre from which to explore other Dorset delights including the newly revealed sea Read moremonster (Pliosaur) fossil at Kimmeridge. Hide

This is a first class cottage in a great location for exploring the surrounding area. The cottage is well equipped and the log burner was just what we needed on a couple of chilly evenings. The hosts are really friendly and Mark is very knowledgeable about the local places of interest and things to see and do.
