Guests that stayed at this property said
Cleanliness scores are impacted by several reviews mentioning unpleasant odours, dampness, and a lack of thorough cleaning. However, not all reviews reflect these issues, indicating inconsistency in cleanliness standards.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach, scenic walks, and local amenities including pubs and shops. The village's beauty and the ease of accessing nearby attractions contribute to a high location score.
Comfort receives a positive response overall, with guests finding the beds and sofas comfortable and the property spacious. However, some concerns about the layout and the state of the patio slightly lower the score.
Facilities and maintenance have mixed reviews. Guests are pleased with the kitchen appliances and the size of the rooms, but issues with parking, shower facilities, and general upkeep are noted. The need for modernisation and repair is mentioned, affecting the score.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews provided, so it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness of the host. Therefore, this score is set to null.
About this property
This traditional, detached cottage rests in the centre of the idyllic village of Burton Bradstock, just half a mile from the coast. Neatly furnished for a week away, Bridge Cottage makes an ideal abode for families looking to escape the rush of everyday life. After finding the designated parking space, take a moment to appreciate the tranquil surroundings before getting to know your new-home-from-home. Step directly into the open-plan living space, featuring a homely feel with three sofas positioned in front of the warming gas fire and TV, encouraging movie nights on a winter evening. Move over to the kitchen, sure to inspire those budding chefs with a range of appliances on hand, including the range cooker with double oven, along with a Smeg fridge/freezer and dishwasher to assist with the cleaning up! Discover the conservatory, where you can choose a book from the selection provided and enjoy a quiet read, or step out to the enclosed courtyard and relax upon the bistro table and chairs. The master bedroom offers a super king size bed whilst the second room is off the sitting area and hosts two singles. Wash away the day in the bathroom, complete with bath and shower over so you can best decide how to prepare for the day. Burton Bradstock makes a superb holiday base for exploring Dorset’s picturesque Jurassic Coast, offering a local shop, post office and two pubs, The Anchor and The Three Horseshoes, where you can refuel after a long ramble. Just a short walk away is Burton beach, offering wonderful cliff views and the famous Hive Beach Café which comes highly recommended by previous visitors. Spend an afternoon lounging on the sands or you can even try fossil hunting! Hop in the car and uncover the market town of Bridport, home to regular antique markets at the weekend and a selection of shops where you can pick-up a gift to take back home. However you choose to spend your holiday time, a break at Bridge Cottage is sure to bring fond memories.
On Dorset's stunning Jurassic Coast, in Bride Valley, is a lovely seaside community bordered by the River Bride. The South West Coastal Path runs beside Burton Bradstock, making it the ideal location for a tranquil getaway on England's south coast. The village itself features thatched cottages from the 16th and 17th centuries as well as two pubs, a store, and a post office. The shimmering Hive Beach is a great place to spend the summer days with the majestic cliffs as a backdrop. There is also a lovely café to sit and relax in. The Spring Tide Festival is held once a year, so it would be worth planning your vacation around it! There are numerous places to visit and things to do in the area, including the gorgeous coastal resort of Weymouth, which is a great place to spend the day. As an alternative, travel inland to Dorchester and Yeovil for fantastic dining, drinking, and shopping.

Before booking a holiday we always read the reviews. A previous customer had left a terrible review, but that didnât deter our decision to book, and iam so pleased it didnât. The location was spot on, literally a 2 minute drive to one of the best beaches weve visited.The accommodation was all open plan so as a family we could be together, having the conservatory meant having our own space too if we wanted. If we came back to this area we would definitely stay again. If we were to suggest something it would be a few more utensils and crockery in the kitchen, ie pasta/cereal bowls.

The holiday home sits within a complex of around 8 other permanent homes to both sides, above and behind. It is a period building and the decor reflects this, the facilities on the whole were good, especially in the kitchen, with a Large Country style range cooker and Smeg Fridge/Freezer. The main bed was comfortable and we slept well. The layout is indeed unique with twin bedroom off the open plan living / kitchen room, a rear large sunroom glass conservatory with access to the bathroom and main bedroom leading to the small slabbed yard. For any necessary grass required for a trained dog there is a park literally one minute walk away. The parking is clearly marked within the front parking area directly outside the accommodation and during our week everyone was âsensibleâ in using the 6 marked bays, if youâre a decent driver it shouldnât be an issue. A real positive within the complex was everyone we met who actually lives there was really pleasant, helpful and good to talk to. The interior photographs of the property represent the property well. The overriding positive factor is the location as the village is beautiful and the TWO pubs are fantastic, The 3 Horseshoes is 30 seconds away and serves great food, The ANCHOR INN is one minute walk away and serves SUPERB FOOD. The HIVE Beach restaurant is also great food in an amazing location on the beach. Virtually all the places were dog friendly. The unheard of 28â ALL WEEK in September was amazing Cheers G&J.

The bathroom could do with a bit of modernization but apart from that we had a great stay! Thanks!
