We had a lovely stay at Stoke Knapp Farm. The cottages are extremely well outfitted with modern facilities and utilities, whilst giving that homely cottage feel. The farm is a short drive from Bridport, and when you arrive there is plenty of signs available to direct you to the parking area, and then to your cottage. A welcome basket of local food/Read moredrink was waiting upon our arrival, which was greatly appreciated. We would definitely stay here again, highly recommended! Thank you to our hosts. Hide
