The cottage had everything we needed for our stay. Clean and well equipped kitchen. Gardens on the property were lovely. Only a very short walk down a public footpath to a local pub that did good food and had outdoor seating in the garden with lovely views. Host Mandi was helpful and welcoming. Close to market town of Bridport and seaside at Recommend to anyone needed to get away from it all. ##### Fiona M.

The cottage is in a beautiful, rural location but within quick access of Bridport and the coast. It was a good base to explore along the coastline and inland. The property had everything we needed, was comfortable and very clean. The owners are nearby and very responsive if we needed anything. Thank you for a good stay! ##### Emma H. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen D. 9 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Delightful stone cottage in idyllic location Delightful stone cottage with pretty cottage garden surrounded by glorious countryside. The cottage was everything we had hoped for and more. Located at the end of a track, we were greeted by a row of cottages, mostly hidden by beautifully cared for cottage garden. A lawned area with a tree seat and bench which we used for a picnic and there is a further small but private garden in front of our cottage, with pink roses climbing over the front cottage window. Lounge area was comfortable and characterful. The large kitchen-diner was well equipped with a panoramic view across the fields, countryside and open sky. A vase of flowers, freshly picked from the from the cottage garden was beautifully arranged.The toilet off the kitchen also had a view that one could easily have mistaken for a framed picture. Upstairs the bathroom had a shower that was easy to use, and a beautiful copper Moroccan sink, again there was a beautiful view. My daughter found the bed in the rear bedroom very comfortable. Our bedroom was at the front of the cottage, full of character with views across the gardens and the bed was also very comfortable. The local pub is just a few minutes walk from the cottage which had wonderful views of the countryside. The beach at Bridport was a short car journey away, as were a number of supermarkets. The cottage was spotlessly clean and Mandie and Jamie were very welcoming. We look forward to returning to this delightful cottage. ##### Helen D.

Equipped with everything you could possibly need, and more - including lots of great games, puzzles, books, blue-tooth speaker, etc. The view from the kitchen is stunning and we loved all the Christmas decorations and fairy lights. Cosy and characterful this was the perfect place to base ourselves over the Christmas break. For getting out and about - there are some nice country walks nearby plus a great pub just a short stroll away. Further afield - Beaminster, Bridport and some spectacular beaches are a short drive away. Thank you to our wonderful hosts, Mandi and Jamie, for a super stay - we'd love to return! ##### anuschka s.

Could not fault the property and will definitely return. My only improvement would be that the cottage is up a narrow lane and 'blink' and you would miss it so that should go in the instructions but otherwise a 'good find'. Location only got 4 stars as the Pub nearby was in the middle of being taken over so was not up to scratch, but the property and views would have got 5 stars ##### Joanne M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeanne J. 28 Apr 2019 #### Fab - u - lous We absolutely loved our all too brief stay in this beautiful, cosy cottage with gorgeous gardens. A real home from home with the owner Mandy on hand if needed. The local walks were lovely & we explored nearby Charmouth & Westbay. Fantastic local pub in very short walking distance with a great atmosphere & lovely food. Will definitely book again. Highly recommend ##### Jeanne J.

The location is beautiful and there are many footpaths in the area where you can walk through incredible countryside. The owner was very friendly and helpful and the local pub was welcoming and served great food. I would definitely stay here again. ##### REBECCA P.

Upon arrival Amanda was very welcoming and the cottage was really well equipped with everything we needed. The location was perfect for relaxing with access to footpaths. We really enjoyed being able to walk to the local pub along with having the cider farm just down the road. We would happily recommend this cottage to our friends and hope to return in the future. ##### Serena J.
