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 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!!

Lovely comfortable cottage, excellent location, wonderful safe garden for dogs

Bluebell cottage is very well situated for exploring the jurassic coast. The cottage itself had a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and superb views. The enclosed garden was secure enough for children and our dog, while the paddock offered play equipment and and nice area to walk the dog. The beaches closest to the cottage were West Bay and Burton Bradstock (National Trust). Both were lovely, Burton Bradstock also has a walk across the headland, and the very nice Hive Cafe. We arrived at the cottage quite late, the lights were on and there were homemade cakes waiting for us, both were a lovely touch. We would definitely recommend Bluebell Cottage.

Cute little cottage in beautiful rural location perfect for kids and dogs

Well maintained and equipped little cottage perfect for a family of 4/5 with young kids. Small but has everything you need. Outside space AMAZING with climbing frame and trampoline in a shared area of garden with 3 other cottages and dog walking from the door down to the river was ideal. Great convenient location just out of Bridport.
