We would certainly come back with our little family to this cottage: so nicely decorated, clean (apart from a rural cobweb), everything you need to relax, cook, enjoy the area, shortly: have a nice time, and a real English feeling :) And what an area: the coast and cliffs, the never-dull landscape, we love Dorset! Stayed July 2018.

Very good location, only 4 miles from Bridport. The cottage /kitchen was well equipped, it looks as if it has been recently refurbished. The decor was very good with a lot of light pastel colours in the furnishings - Stayed January 2018
