Lovely cottage in a great location
We had a great week in Bluebell cottage, the house is very comfortable and the garden and surrounding grounds are lovely. My children really enjoyed the play area and our dog was very happy having some friends to play with and being able to run around (particularly when the rabbits were out!). The cottages are set back from the main road so it is lovely and quiet and you can join the River Brit footpath easily which goes in both directions. We will happily stay here again!

Perfect Stay
We had a great four-night stay in Bluebell Cottage which worked perfectly for us with two kids and a dog. Having a good size secure private garden in addition to the large communal garden works so well and the setting is great. Lisa is also very welcoming and friendly…the only shame was we couldn’t stay for longer.

A lovely cottage in a great setting - so peaceful and perfect for our little dog. It’s a good base for the coast and lots of other activities. Thanks to Lisa for the local top tips and making us feel so welcome. We will be back!

A welcome birthday break
We stayed her for a long weekend to celebrate my wife's birthday. The location is great, not far from beaches and some very attractive Dorset countryside, and there are extensive grounds to explore on the property. The cottage is cosy but sleeps 5 and quiet with all you need for a few days away.

Lovely peaceful stay
We had a lovely peaceful stay. Lisa was very welcoming and friendly. Gorgeous outdoor space. Close to several beaches and a short walk along fields to a lovely pub. Would recommend and certainly stay again. Only improvement I would say is thicker curtains for the front bedrooms as my kids were waking ridiculous early. But that is a minor thing Thank you Lisa

Beautiful traditional cottage in Dorset
Enjoyed a wonderful week in Bluebell cottage. It was an excellent base for exploring the Jurassic coast. The accommodation was well equipped and situated in a beautiful rural setting. It was perfect for our stay and it was also dog friendly which was a bonus. There are some nice walks in the surrounding area. Bridport town centre is a short drive away. There is a Lidl, Co-op and Morrisons enroute to get supplies. The owners, Alistair and Lisa were very welcoming and always available if required. All in all an excellent place to stay.

Perfect
This cottage was perfect for us and our dogs. The garden was enclosed which meant our little boy and the hounds could play safely. We loved sitting on the patio for breakfast and dinner in the sunshine. Trampolining was so fun and the walk through the bluebell and wild garlic woods was a magical way to start the day. Lisa was really friendly and relaxed and made some great recommendations for places to visit. Thank you!!
