Fabulous location if you like peace and quiet. We loved our stay there but it was spoilt by the interior being a bit tired, as were the utensils. Such a pity and is the reason for not achieving the highest score.

Lovely cottage in rural setting

The cottage was perfect - rural, peaceful and quiet, and great for star gazing too. Near enough to Bridport (with a car) for essentials and a good base for exploring the Dorset coast. Altogether a lovely escape.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Buckingham Cottage . It was lovely and clean and everything had been thought off to make it a real home from home. A dog friendly garden and lovely views from the garden. We enjoyed saying hello to the horses in the field at the end off the garden each day.The area was ideal to visit many different places. We would definitely recommend Buckingham Cottage and hope to stay again someday.
