The cottage was extremely comfortable, cosy and so well equipped. Tim had left the heating on for us to arrive to, and provided some treats of wine, chocolates and biscuits which were much appreciated. The garden is a gem, but it wasn't the time of year for having our aperitifs outdoors. Lovely to be able to walk into Bridport, along easy footpathsRead more - once you've got over the main road!

You leave the busy A35 and, passing through Hollow Lane, its like emerging into a different world and time. The cottage itself is well-appointed and comfortable but the bonus surprise package is the garden - at the top of the steep steps and the grassy path a picturesque and colourful place unfolds, to sit and relax with coffee and a book. Lots to Read moredo round and about and Tim, the owner is very friendly and hospitable. Would recommend it. Hide

We absolutely loved this cottage. by far the most comfortable and well equipped of all the cottages we have stayed in over the years. Beautifully and tastefully decorated with the most comfortable beds ever! The location is great - in a peaceful village but within a few minutes of Bridport and the coast road east and west. We would definitely book Read morethis again - hopefully in the summer to enjoy the gorgeous garden. The host left an extremely generous welcome pack which was very much appreciated. Hide

This is a lovely cottage. Cosy, comfortable and clean, it has everything you could need. Our only issue was that my parents are now late 70's early 80's and there are several steps, but on the positive side they said it probably did them good. Parking is in the street, we always found somewhere to park. It is in a good location, easy access to BridRead moreport, West Bay and the A35 either way along the coast. We particularly like Hive Beach, Burton Bradstock, go for a walk then pop to the caf. Hide

Excellent week spent in a gorgeous cottage. The welcome gifts were well received. The kitchen is very well equipped and the whole place was absolutely spotless. A beautiful garden too, which unfortunately due to it being late October, we couldn't fully benefit from.The extra touches of washing tablets, washing up liquid, handsoap, kitchen rolls etcRead more were very welcome. I haven't always found these supplied in cottages so it was really appreciated. A short walk to the local pub with good local ale. Hide
