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 in the sea, fishing and crabbing at the harbour, 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.

Excellent accommodation but would recommend that anyone with a large car contact the owner in advance to ask for a parking space to be reserved and easily accessible

The property was clean and spacious. It is in a good position for touring the area and there is a supermarket less than a mile away and Bridport town Centre only another half mile.
