Lovely cottage away from it all.
Very comfortable, had pretty much everything we needed, lots of room. So very quiet and the lack of light pollution made night time stargazing a pleasure. Local pub within walking distance (you'll need to take a torch and brace yourself for the uphill climb on the way back) but the cottage has everything you need in the kitchen (nearly - couldn't find a corkscrew but luckily we came prepared!) to cater for yourselves. It was a perfect base for going out to other places in the car - Weymouth, Lyme Regis, Charmouth, Bridport amongst others without getting caught up in single track roads with oncoming tractors. The coast was within walking distance if you're an energetic sort with plenty of stamina. Lovely views as you come out of the top of the road from the cottage. We would recommend visiting Nothe Fort and the WW2 Museum in Weymouth, Bridport was nice little town for wandering around. Lyme Regis was very lovely, if you want to look for fossils, do check the tide times before you go to avoid disappointment (this also goes for Charmouth) lots of interesting shops in Lyme Regis, fossils obviously but tasty bakeries and specialist deli/drink shops, arts and crafts type shops. Depending on where you park, it is all uphill but stopping off at all the interesting shops takes the strain out of it. Back to the cottage.... getting back after a long day out was like going home. The security light comes on as you park up to welcome you home, the cottage is warm and cosy (and yet there is no heating on - may be an issue in the height of summer unless there are fans brought in at that time?), the settee is like a nice warm hug - all good quality and comfortable furniture throughout. There are two showers/toilets. The upstairs one doesn't have enough oomph for a quick in and out shower but the downstairs one is very powerful. Oddly, neither room has a lock on the door. Fine if you're just a couple or there with your children but unnerving if you're a group friends. I don't normally take a hairdryer with me but just happened to on this occasion. Glad I did as I didn't come across one in the week we were there. Also, the notes we were sent after booking said that we would need to supply our own tea towels and oven gloves, this we did but needn't have bothered as everything was there already. Washing up liquid, laundry detergent, cleaning cloths were all there, you only need to bring your own if you need to know exactly what brand/ingredients are involved. More generous than most with the toilet paper too - a new one on the holder and another in the cupboard in both bathrooms. I note on an earlier review that they had difficulty accessing the key in the security box. We had the same issue but you just need a key or a coin to push the black catch down, it's too fiddly for fingers. All in all, it was a lovely stay and we would use it again if visiting the area.

The cottage is in a lovely location.
It's very quaint and comfortably furnished. The sofa and king size sleigh bed are very comfortable. We spent a lot of time in the large well equipped kitchen/ diner looking out at the river, which was lovely. There was a lovely welcome pack for us and our dog, which was a nice touch. The communication and instructions from owners slso very comprehensive. We never had any problem with hot water for bath or shower and the heating is controlled by hive thermostat so you can alter if needed. The cottage was always warm and we were never cold, despite not using the log burner. There is a Pub within walking distance and 3 others within a 10-20 min drive. There is a Spar inside the local garage for emergency provisions, but we had asda delivery whilst there The cottage is nicely situated for exploration of the south coast. We visited many beaches whilst there, all within 30 mins-1hr away. We also visited stonehenge which was an hour away. You don't need to leave the village if you just want somewhere peaceful to relax. My partner caught fish in the river too, which he was delighted about. We were very lucky with the weather though. 17 degrees and sunny mid October. The owners are lovely and were very kind to allow a short overstay due to storm babet.The housekeeper is also friendly and was happy to advise places to visit based on your interests We would strongly recommend the cottage for a holiday.

Wonderful Cottage The cottage is very quiet and private with the nearest building being about a mile away.
The cottage had a large open plan kitchen/living/dining room, but very homely with the furniture, pictures, vases of flowers, etc. Upstairs there is a landing/mezzanine area with seating over looking the garden/fields, which was great to sit and have a coffee. There is a family bathroom and two large bedrooms. Personally, we did not find the double bed comfortable and could feel the springs in the mattress when lying on the bed. The cottage had pretty much everything you would need. There was no dishwasher, but that was not an issue, there was clean bedding, lots of towels, an iron, an ironing board, a hoover, etc! If I were to moan about anything then it would be attention to detail on the cleaning, given the cost I would of expected it to be spotless, however, there were LOTS of cobwebs and spiders suggesting it had been shut up for a while or not cleaned thoroughly, the cottage it in the middle of farm fields so you expect things like spiders, but would not of expected so many on arrival to greet us! The floor downstairs is in desperate need of a good mop, I cleaned up some water I spilt and the cloth was black! Would be good if there had been to trivets to put hot pans, we managed as you do, but worried if someone put a hot pan on the worktop it would damage it. All in all a lovely stay and would stay again and recommend to others. Thank you!

The Barn is just lovely!
We found it easily and loved that it was in such a rural spot and yet so close to the village and everything we wanted in the surrounding area. It is well equipped - we especially liked the comfy sofas! Thoughtfully furnished and decorated - we loved the seating area on the balcony overlooking the beautiful countryside. The Barn is within very easy reach of all the Jurassic coastline has to offer and we enjoyed visits to West beach, Eype, Bridport, the Isle of Portland and ventured a bit further out to the Purbeck area to visit Corfe Castle and Lulworth Cove. A couple of suggestions which the owners may like to consider: some comfortable outdoor chairs would be a real bonus; if there is a way to boost the water pressure upstairs it would be helpful as the shower has very little power (there were only two of us so we just used the downstairs one which was fine); over time your stock of teaspoons has been depleted (leaving only three!); perhaps a suggestions book so that visitors can leave tips for future guests. All in all we had a wonderful stay and will definitely consider returning to sample more of what Dorset has to offer.

The holiday cottage was very clean and welcoming.
The location with the river meant you could see wildlife from the windows and the rear patio and over the week we saw fish, crayfish, egrets, heron, voles, squirrels and rabbits. Not forgetting the swans which demanded their breakfast every morning! The kitchen had everything you would need and more for a keen cook. The welcome pack was lovely and much needed after a long journey the bread and cheese in particular were a big hit with the family. Claire next door came to ensure we had what we needed and gave us recommendations on where to eat and places to go. We were visiting Dorset to visit Monkey World after my daughter had watched the programmes in lockdown and this was about 40 mins away. Weymouth was about 25 minutes, Lyme Regis 40 mins. We were happy to travel and also found lovely walks from the village. The village shop over the road stocked some nice items and the Spar shop at the garage was also good. The local pub (Chalk and Cheese) not very good and the food would not be recommended but the nearby villages had nice places to eat but need to be booked. We enjoyed our stay at Riverside. Thank you!
