Beautiful village, it has not changed in the 8/9yrs we have been visiting, unfortunately the worst cottage we have stayed at. Shower not draining, you had to be quick and use just a trickle of water. Cobwebs a pain, know you have to allow for this as they are old cottages and your are in the countryside, but these had been here a very long time andRead more were so dusty. Double bed and pillows so uncomfortable as was the sofa and armchair. We left on Thursday instead of Saturday so that we could shower. Hide

The cottage is in a beautiful village with plenty to do in the area. The cottage is up for sale now. The interior is in need of an upgrade throughout. It is warm and comfortable & well equipped, but we were slightly disappointed by the standard of decor and the shower not draining.

This picturesque cottage is perfectly located in a fabulous village. A short walk to the beautiful coastline with miles of walking in either direction. Burton Bradstock was a ideal base for visiting Dorset. It was, as expected small but functional. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Some things need a little attention to perfect.
