Sweet Briar is an ideal location for easy access to all the places we wanted to visit, it had everything we needed, well equipped kitchen, modern walk in shower, comfortable beds, lounge with patio doors overlooking gardens and countryside and chickens running around. We loved our stay and will definitely return as there is do much more to see and discover. Just a short walk up the road is an ancient church well worth a visit, West Bay and Bridport are all in walking distance and Beaminster is a short drive away. We highly recommend Sweet Briar.
