A great little cosy cottage space with everything you need. The owners were lovely and helpful ans to hand if you need them. A fantastic place to stay to explore the Jurasic coastline and the local town has a community energy to it. A really wonderful place to stay. Thanks for being a wonderful base for me to roam the coast and write for 2 weeks.

Loved this cosy cottage which was ideally located. It was quiet and rural but only a short walk to Bridport and also within walking distance of West Bay and the Dorset coast. It was very comfortable and warm and with everything I needed for a perfect week's stay.
