About this property
Pippin’s Loder’s is a pretty stone cottage situated in the picturesque village of Loders, near Bridport in Dorset.
Providing a very comfortable, tranquil base from which to discover this area of outstanding natural beauty. Dating back over 200 years the cottage has been tastefully renovated, offering all contemporary comforts while retaining numerous period features including exposed beams, a large inglenook fireplace with open fire, and bread oven which gives the cottage a traditional cosy feel. Pippins has been decorated to a high standard and enjoys stunning views. Guests can soak up the sun or dine al fresco in the fully enclosed garden with patio areas. Pippins has wonderful views across the countryside from both downstairs and upstairs, creating an ever-changing picture for everyone to enjoy.
With a multitude of footpaths and byways right outside the door, Pippins is within easy reach of Dorset's World Heritage Jurassic coastline and the many beautiful beaches, it provides a perfect base for walkers and cyclists alike.
The Crown at Uploders and the Loders Arms in Loders are both traditional pubs welcoming families, they serve delicious home cooked food, real ale and have open log fires to warm yourself by on colder days. Both the pubs are within easy walking distance.
Enclosed by green hills and countryside with quaint little streams and rivers running through it, The market town of Bridport is just perfect for city dwellers searching for country charm. With traditional pubs, most of whom welcome dogs, great markets, fantastic restaurants and tea rooms and the famous art scene, there is plenty to keep everyone in your cottage party occupied and happy.
Pippins Loders is an ideal base for your holiday with its countryside location, yet still close enough to the coast and towns.
Bridport is an attractive market town that grew up around the River Brit, and was shaped by its history of rope and net making. The long, wide streets and alleyways between the houses were once where the flax strands were twisted into rope, while today those streets are filled with an interesting variety of shops, restaurants and inns. Bridport’s market is regularly featured on the River Cottage TV programme. 2 miles south of Bridport is the dramatic Jurassic coast at West Bay, now a World Heritage Site, home to the backdrop for TV's Harbour Lights and the coastal setting for popular Broadchurch, whilst the picturesque resort of Lyme Regis is within 10 miles. A superb base for exploring wonderful West Dorset.

Very well equipped and the location was excellent for our needs. Quiet and scenic. I honestly can't think of anything negative to say. I can recommend this place. The parking worked out fine. We had two cars, one was parked at the back in the allocated space and the other one on the road just before the private entrance, no problem with any farmers or neighbours. When we arrived a very nice lady said where we could park. As for the property it was warm and cosy and the kitchen was excellent. Really appreciated the towels and cot for the toddler as well as the gate. Thank you and well done!

The sink in the en-suite didnât drain very well and the shower had very little power. On the plus side the beds were super comfy and the house is very well equipped. A bbq would be a good addition.

I know that this is a dog friendly cottage however (I dont believe any holiday let should offer upto 3 dogs, this leads to major wear & tear) 1 dog in any holiday space is more than enough. The cottage, especially the lounge needs an update, new sofas, rugs & the fireplace needs cleaning & chimney needs some work. Downstairs loo needs a refresh. The garden is a lot smaller than the photos on the website. We had a knock on the door from the Farmer who was very rude about where we had parked. We were more than happy to move the car however there is no need for hostility, its only a car & it can be moved......Calm down dear!! The Loders Arms is in walking distance & a lovely dog friendly pub. Parking is an issue due to narrow lanesBridport was very dissapointing. Lyme Regis was lovely.
