We spent a total of six nights with our three children in the beautiful cottage in Bridport. Check-in went absolutely smoothly, and we received a warm welcome. The cottage is well-equipped with everything you need for a wonderful vacation on the south coast of England. The rooms were clean. The appliances, such as the stove and the washing machine, worked perfectly. Bridport is a great starting point for various excursions in Dorset. There are good shopping options nearby. We highly recommend this accommodation and would come back anytime.

Just returned from a lovely stay at Susan’s cottage in Bridport. The cottage was perfect for a long weekend, lovely, cosy and well equipped for our needs. The location was great for exploring the Jurassic Coast and was the perfect base for us. Thank you for having us!

Exactly what we hoped for!

This cottage was both quiet and perfectly located to most of what Bridport has to offer -- which is a lot! The hosts were welcoming and very helpful. We enjoyed eating at the historic Bull Hotel restaurant just yards away. It was a memorable trip, and I hope to visit again one day!
