From the picture window you can also watch hens roaming and enjoying the area.
Buzzards provides the perfect holiday base for experiencing the beauty and unique energy of Dorset. There’s something for everyone from wandering among the stalls at Bridport’s markets, Bridport’s Vintage Quarter, walking the famous South West Coast Path, swimming at the newly awarded West Bay Bathing Water Site, and fossil hunting at nearby Charmouth. The area is rich in history and culture as exemplified by the local festivals, Iron Age hill forts, Bronze Age barrows, and the only thatched brewery which is nearby for you to visit. There is also a thriving local food and drinks scene which boasts a variety of award-winning dishes and drinks for you to savour and enjoy. For thrill-seekers jump aboard the Rib Charter boats or swing through the treetops at the Tunnel, Charmouth. There’s so much to explore from the local harbours and nearby Chesil Beach to the famous Cobb at Lyme Regis, and the renowned Abbotsbury Swannery and Sub-Tropical Gardens. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, now part of the National Landscapes, is truly unforgettable and Buzzards is the perfect location to create memories to last a lifetime.

Just returned from a lovely stay. The apartment is very well equipped for all that you need and is clean and comfortable. The owners are lovely and made us feel very welcome and a lovely gesture of a cream tea which was very welcome when we arrived. Would recommend for a dog friendly stay.
