The Experience

Wander through to the back, via a fascinating outhouse, to a garden swathed in clematis and wisteria. Grassy paths still divide the long rambling gardens where the rope-workers applied their skills… this row of Victorian cottages has barely changed in 100 years.Hop on the bus or walk twenty minutes across the fields to West Bay for outstanding beaches towered over by majestic cliffs. Here you can swim, boat, kayak and go coasteering – there’s plenty of space and children will love the special play parks in summer.Step out the front for the river and sandy paths down to the centre of town. Buy Dorset-fresh produce from three weekly markets, rest in Buckydoo Square and watch life flow by, or wind up having lunch at The Bull. Return to sunny bedrooms and the perfect teenage dorm in the loft.

Reviews

This delightful cottage is tucked away in a quiet riverside spot but a short walk into the the lovely town of Bridport. We return every year and love it just us much each time. There's everything you need but it's not fussy. There is a big comfy bed opposite a window with views across the meadow. Our Labrador loves the enclosed garden and the lovely neighbour!

We enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing week in this very comfortable cottage. The location was perfect, an easy walk into Bridport with its excellent market, independent shops and restaurants, and also to West Bay. The neighbours were friendly and welcoming. The secret garden was an unexpected treat. We’re very keen to pay another visit.

Have stayed here twice and would have come back more but it is so popular that it’s often booked up. Cottage is well situated for town beach and walks No need to use the car once you arrive. Compact with everything you need Lovely long secluded garden too. Fab view from bedroom and amazingly comfy bed. Great for a couple with a dog or a family with young children Would highly recommend.

My family had a wonderful stay in your quiet, very well positioned blue cottage next to the river. Beautiful views from the bedroom, plenty space for us all. We enjoyed Bridport, Fish&Chips in Westbay and highly recommend a fossil hunting tour close by.

We had a lovely 5 night stay. Clean, smart and modern.The cottage is perfect for visiting the town. The main bed is really comfortable and having 2 bathrooms is a real bonus. The dog enjoyed the garden and the downstairs accommodation. Parking at East Street is the easiest although a little walk away. Drop off can be a little awkward with the neighbours. We loved the views over the fields and river and will definitely revisit. Belinda was a great host and made herself very accessible by mobile

Location

The neighbourhood

Glorious hills surround Bridport, popular with painters, makers and foodies. Full of festivals, it’s a working town too. A 15-min stroll across meadows leads to the fishing harbour of West Bay; buy scallops fresh from the trawlers. The fossil-rich Jurassic coast is England's first natural World Heritage Site – you and your dog will be happy hiking the South West Coast Path.

Local points of interest from Belinda Richardson

  • Colourful Bridport is right on the doorstep with its regular street markets, festivals, art deco cinema, bookshops, museum, arts centre and theatre. Take a seat in Bucky Doo (the town square) and let it all wash over you .
  • A mile's amble across the meadows leads to the working harbour of West Bay. Buy scallops fresh from the trawler, hire fishing boats and kayaks or book up for some coasteering, kite surfing and scuba diving. There's a well-kept links course for golfers too.
  • Walkers, cyclists and twitchers can follow the coastal path up and down cliffs towards Lyme (you'll need deep breaths to get up Golden Cap). Or fossil hunt your way along the shore towards the pebbly paradise of Chesil Beach, passing through Abbotsbury.
  • Ginger muffin enthusiasts should not miss Leaker's Bakery, a Bridport institutuion. Bella's deli and takeaway is also good for big home-made cakes, as is Sladers Yard, an art gallery in West Bay that has occasional music and live poetry too.
  • Rachel's is the pick of the myriad kiosks selling fish and chips in West Bay. The breezy, easy going Watch House Cafe, bang on the beach is considered less of a scrum than it's nearby sister, The Hive Beach, and it does good breakfasts too. Dogs welcome.
  • Family-owned Palmer's Brewery is a short stumble across South Street with guided tours that take you round historic brewery buildings and cover the whole brewing process. Tastings are a welcome part of the tour and takeaway draught beer is available.
