Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the property clean and well-maintained, though a few mentioned specific areas that could be improved, such as the shower and behind furniture. The majority of feedback, however, reflects a high standard of cleanliness.
The location is generally praised for its views and proximity to local amenities. Some guests were dissatisfied with the nearby busy road and lack of footpath, which affected their experience slightly.
The property is often described as comfortable, with a particularly comfortable bed highlighted by several guests. There were some comments about sofa comfort and noise levels due to lack of rugs, which suggests room for improvement.
Facilities are well-regarded, with mentions of a home cinema and well-equipped kitchen. However, some guests noted issues with appliances and provided equipment, indicating that maintenance could be enhanced.
While the reviews reflect positively on the owners' responsiveness and friendliness, there is insufficient information on specific thoughtful gestures such as gifts to accurately assess this category.
About this property
This lovely annex is the ideal retreat for couples to explore the village of Burton Bradstock and surrounding areas of Dorset with the ideal setting along the main coastal road.
Start the day with alfresco style breakfast in the delightful patio garden before enjoying a stroll along the coastal path.
A stunning hideaway with beautiful views over the magnificent World Heritage Jurassic coastline, a delightful architecturally constructed cottage for two tucked away at the top of a private gated drive, behind the main house. You can bask in the wonderful sea view, whatever the weather; during the summer the sea reflects the sun's rays and is a vivid azure blue and on greyer days, the waves crash dramatically along the coast. From Burton bay you can reach Hive beach which is around a 20-minute stroll and hosts the acclaimed Hive Beach Café and Freshwater Beach and holiday park, which is overlooked from the sitting room, is a 10-minute walk. With two local village pubs, The Anchor which serves fresh provincial seafood and The Three Horseshoes which serves homemade classics you have a choice for the perfect lunch or dinner. A conveniently situated village post office / farm shop and mini supermarket provide grocery essentials. You could try fossil hunting along the coast or visit the beautiful harbour at West Bay. A stay at Burton Bay is a luxurious experience; every detail has been thought about with the guest in mind.
Burton Bradstock is the perfect spot for a peaceful break on England's south coast, with the South West Coastal Path running alongside for you walking enthusiasts. The village itself boasts 16th and 17th century thatched cottages as well as two pubs, a shop and a Post Office, the glistening Hive Beach is a wonderful spot to spend the summer days with the magnificent cliffs as a backdrop, there is also a lovely café to sit and relax in, once a year the Spring Tide Festival is held which would be worth lining up your holiday with! There are many attractions and activities to enjoy around here, with the stunning coastal resort of Weymouth making for an excellent day out. Alternatively, head inland to the county town of Dorchester and Yeovil for great shopping, architecture, eating and drinking.

The comfort of the 'cottage' and amenities were excellent (maybe some extra black bin liners??). The lovely enclosed garden was even better than expected, and Frankie, our Cavapoo, was able to run & sniff around to his heart's content. The owners, Irene & Geoff, were so friendly, kind & helpful, especially when my husband discovered he'd left all my birthday cards & presents at home!! They helped him get out of a rather sticky situation (haha!). I would definitely recommend spending a holiday here.
