Guests say
Burton Bay is a well-regarded cottage in Dorset, praised for its comfortable furnishings, stunning sea views, and secure garden ideal for dogs. Guests appreciate the property's cleanliness, modern amenities, and the warm welcome from the owners, including a thoughtful hamper. While some minor maintenance issues and cleanliness oversights are mentioned, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many guests planning return visits.
Most reviews highlight the property's cleanliness, with specific praise for its well-maintained and spotless condition. A few guests noted areas for improvement, such as cobwebs and a blocked washing machine, but these appear to be exceptions rather than the norm.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful sea views, proximity to local attractions, and walking distance to village pubs and beaches. Some guests noted the nearby caravan park as a detractor, but overall, the location is considered excellent.
Guests consistently mention the comfort of the property, particularly the comfortable bed and the secure garden for dogs. The property is described as a relaxing and peaceful holiday base, contributing to a high comfort score.
The property's facilities, including a cinema facility and well-equipped kitchen, are generally well-received. However, some guests reported maintenance issues with the drier and fluctuating shower temperatures, leading to a slightly lower score.
While guests express gratitude for the welcome hamper and mention the inclusion of dog treats, there is insufficient information to determine if such gestures are consistent across all stays. Therefore, the score is set to null, and guests should note that such thoughtful touches, while appreciated, may not be guaranteed.
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!

Everything was there that you would need apart from mop & bucket & dustpan and brush. When I travel with the dog I like to wash the floor before I leave, great garden for the dog.Very comfy bed.The bathroom was modern & had a lovely shower. It would have been nice if they provided a hair dryer as I forgot mine. They only thing I didnât like was the stones covering the path at the gate, itâs clear that it had been a lot of rain & washed the stones down from the parking area & as the path is on a slope it made it slippery as the stones moved when you walked on them. Having said that I would recommend & look forward to a return visit.

Wonderfully warm for our January stay. Ideal location with so many interesting places to visit so close by.

The views were very special. The little gift basket was very thought out, and the enclosed garden at the back of the property was perfect for the dog. A very quiet little retreat, would highly recommend, and stay again.
