  The Magnolias is a real gem of a find, right in the heart of the lovely village of Burton Bradstock on the Jurassic Coast. The property has been lovingly restored and has 3 good-sized bedrooms (one en-suite), a family bathroom (with a a great shower), a fine lounge and separate dining room. You'll find yourself spending most of your time in the kitchen though, with its fabulous Aga that heats the whole house. All equipment and furnishings are of a very high standard from the duvets to the utensils - a lot of thought has gone into this. The garden is large and enclosed and was perfect for us and our Labrador to roam around. The parking space was a real bonus in this popular village. The owner got in touch while we there and she was very keen to ensure we had the perfect time. The beach is a 10-15 minute walk away and the cafe there is definitely worth a visit just for the fish & chips alone. The two pubs in the village are great and both very welcoming. Modbury Farm shop nearby does some really good cheeses and other local foods. The market in Bridport on Wednesdays and Saturdays is well worth a visit. We have stayed in this area a number of times over the years and The Magnolias is the best property we have found - would love to return there one day.

  Fantastic property in a superb location.

  Being able to book slots in the brilliant swimming pool just for our family was an added bonus. The property owners have tried to think of everything. Cutting pathways in the surrounding fields to access the beach and village of Embleton is a great idea and made both really accessible. Very well maintained properties and grounds and extremely clean and comfortable. Our only request would be that more storage for clothes is required in the bedrooms. Maybe a chest of drawers rather than a chair, and some more hanging space and hangars. Also some shelving or storage space in the bathrooms. This said, l would have no problem in recommending these superb cottages. The welcome pack was much appreciated too. Thanks for a great stay. Will definitely look to return in the future. Very dog friendly with fantastic walks straight from the cottage.

  We had a fabulous week’s stay at the Magnolias. As mentioned in other reviews, with the furnishings and beds of a very high standard, it was beautiful and relaxing. The stone flooring kept the house refreshingly cool during the sizzling week in July. The house’s location within this picturesque village, really added to the holiday. Just 15 minutes from Hive beach, we would stroll there at all times of the day, through the village orchard or via the cliff top. We also had meals at the local pubs and restaurants. Our days out, included visiting the Swannery and Monmouth Beach for the fossils. The village Post Office and shop had an excellent range of local produce. We were fortunate to be there to enjoy the annual Fair; the Church Tower is open to the public on the same afternoon, so we climbed that too.

  The Magnolias is a lovely house. Very welcoming and comfortably but elegantly furnished. The kitchen is well equipped and has lots of character. The bedrooms were comfy and had nice views. The bathrooms are good. Hot water was plentiful. Everywhere was immaculately clean. It is a really lovely garden with table and chairs which we made good use of in the sun. It is fully enclosed so good for dogs. And if there was no available space at the front we parked just inside the gates which is handy. Burton Bradstock is a very pretty village. Two pubs within easy walking distance and one being very good for food. We found lots to do in the area...Bridport is charming and the Swannery and Tropical gardens at Abbotsbury were good fun. Thank you for a lovely holiday

  What a gem! Beautiful cottage located in a quaint, picturesque village. The property is spacious, comfortable, and very homely. A lot of thought and time has gone into making sure the house is well maintained and clean. Noted that no expense has been spared when equipping the kitchen (Miele appliances and Le Creuset cookware set!). We thoroughly enjoyed the garden and the scenic walks around Burton Bradstock and surrounding villages. We ate at both the pubs in the village and enjoyed the meals served - The Anchor Inn a particular favourite for the large variety of fish options on the menus. Short walk (15 mins) to local Hive Beach, which is a sandy beach and has a lovely cafe. Will definitely be back and miss it already!
