Perfect Birthday Weekend
Booked the property for my birthday weekend, the location is picturesque and peaceful. Adrian was very welcoming and friendly, as well as his daughter. The property has everything you could ask for, and the garden was perfect for the pups to run about in. Would definitely recommend and will probably return in the future.

A perfect rural retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this very peaceful cottage. It was spotlessly clean and well equipped. The bed was comfortable and we slept very well in the quiet countryside.
The owner's daughter introduced herself and asked us to contact her if we had any problems or questions. We had good communication with owner.
Overall a perfect place to stay if you wish a quiet rural cottage but also a short drive from the coast.

Lovely cottage in rural setting
The cottage was perfect - rural, peaceful and quiet, and great for star gazing too. Near enough to Bridport (with a car) for essentials and a good base for exploring the Dorset coast. Altogether a lovely escape.
