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.

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.

Perfect Getaway

This trip was the second time my partner and I have stayed at Buckingham Cottage, along with our dog.The property itself is perfectly sized and has everything you could need. The enclosed garden looking out over the hills is perfect for our pup. We did trips to Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, Lyme Regis, Hive beach and West day - so you couldn't ask for a better location.Will definitely be staying again!

We had a lovely stay at the cottage for a comfortable weekend with friends. It was warm and cosy and perfect for our friends who bought their dog with the secure garden. It's such a lovely spot, we only wish we could have stayed longer! Beds were comfy and the smart TV was great. There was a bit of an issue with the shower not working very well but I raised this with the host when we left so will hopefully be sorted for the next guests. The hosts were also very happy to lend us a hammer for some fossil hunting at Charmouth, which we can highly recommend We hope to be back again one day, thanks for a lovely stay!

Lovely cottage to get away from it all

We recently stayed at Buckingham cottage as a small family, and we thoroughly enjoyed our few days there! The cottage was a good size for the 3 of us and our small dog, and it was equipped with everything we needed. The surroundings were absolutely beautiful, peaceful and quiet. Adrian was the perfect host - there to help if needed, whilst still fully respecting our privacy. We would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a quiet break!
