Traditional Dorset Stone Cottage, large garden, pretty village near sea.

Excellent reviews for this traditional coastal stone cottage on a quiet lane with large, enclosed south facing garden. You can enjoy a wonderful break just minutes away from Hive Beach, at the western end of the stunning Jurassic Coast, the setting for the award-winning TV drama Broadchurch. Recently and sympathetically refurbished with a fresh, contemporary style. Set in a great area for walking, fishing, golf and cycling with the South West Coastal Path, the National Cycling Network, Lyme Regis, West Bay and Weymouth within easy reach. Experience the hustle-bustle of elegant Bridport with antique and farmer’s markets, unusual and specialist shops and supermarkets, historic Georgian buildings and a wide range of outstanding restaurants. You'll be well served with shops within 1 mile and the village pub with local Palmer's beers, just 300 yards away.

No phone service/read amenities carefully
First the positive. It has a lovely back yard, charming neighborhood and friendly neighbors. There have been some updates in the bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom. There’s was an effort to welcome guests with guidebooks, information booklet, books and movies. Ok, now the problems. First, there is only a bath tub with separate hot water and cold water spigots. The profile has bath and doesn’t mention shower so I missed this. My mistake. This didn’t work for our family. When my husband went to add more hot water to the tub he burnt his foot. The hot water comes out at practically boiling when it’s available. That’s the other thing, when the hot water runs out it takes an hour to get more. Plan accordingly. We were doing laundry, washing dishes and trying to bath 4 people and it ran out. The other big issue is phone service. We were notified a week before arriving that there was no cell service. However, there was a landline. No. It didn’t work. It just was static. I was to call with problems but had no phone service. My son was having breathing problems and I couldn’t contact anyone. I emailed. No response. I did get cell service if I climbed on top of the hill - that would have been nice to know. Finally, it said it had a barbeque- it didn’t. We planned barbeque meals the whole time so we were left trying to redo everything. The actual final issue was the amount of stuff that is standard at other vrbos we’ve stayed at and just was not there or we were required to do when we left- Ie no hand soap at the kitchen sink, no no wash cloths, no extra towels. When we left we were supposed to wash, dry, and put away all dishes, wipe down refrigerator, and strip beds. I would not stay here if you have asthma either. We came very close to having to take my son to the A&E.

Gorgeous Dorset cottage!
The cottage is lovely and very comfy. It was very cosy to drive back to after a day out hiking or fossil hunting down by the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed the picnic table on the terrace out back, surrounded with flowers and birds and the wood burner provided the extra warmth we needed in the evening. The house isn't huge but large enough for a family of four. We didn't get to meet our hosts but we exchanged numerous emails and Cate was very responsive. After we left a message saying the water pressure up in the bathroom was on the low side, she told us they had plans to fix it as soon as we'd leave and offered us to stay an extra night at no cost. It was our kids' first time in the English countryside and we couldn't have chosen a better place to introduce them to the joys and beauty of beautiful Dorset. Oh and the parking space is small but it's perfectly manageable!

Coastal walking holiday
This was a perfect location for walking the East Devon/Dorset section of the SW Coast path. The cottage was warm, comfortable and well equipped. It has a lovely garden and we enjoyed feeding the hedgehog and watching the blackbirds steal the grapes. Parking at the bottom of the lane was easy and we always found space for two cars. The owners were really helpful and very prompt at responding to questions.

Nice cosy cottage (parking a bit tight though)
Cottage is nicely decorated with lovely large garden. Parking ok if you're adept at reverse parking in a tight space - otherwise just park down the road. Quiet village, lovely on a sunny summer evening to sit outside the church and enjoy the countryside.

Cosy, Charming, Convenient
This is a charming terraced cottage in a village side-street. The location is idyllic, being convenient for the shopping in Bridport and the many other activities in this beautiful part of the world. The house is neatly and quietly tucked away, the interior being small but cosy and comfortable. It's well equipped and one has everything one could reasonably need for a pleasant stay. There is also a lovely, surprisingly spacious and well kept garden to the rear. There is a useful parking place to the front of the house, which is tight but perfectly adequate. Owners were charming and helpful. My adult son and I enjoyed a delightful week in the property and would certainly like to return. Highly recommended.
