There is also a thriving local food and drinks scene which boasts a variety of award-winning dishes and drinks for you to savour and enjoy. For thrill-seekers jump aboard the Rib Charter boats or swing through the treetops at the Tunnel, Charmouth. There’s so much to explore from the local harbours and nearby Chesil Beach to the famous Cobb at Lyme Regis, and the renowned Abbotsbury Swannery and Sub-Tropical Gardens. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, now part of the National Landscapes, is truly unforgettable and Buzzards is the perfect location to create memories to last a lifetime.

This first floor two bedroomed apartment was very clean, well decorated and comfortable, light, airy and roomy. The hosts were friendly and helpful and the location was ideal for nearby coastal walks. The provision of a cream tea on arrival was a nice touch. Would definitely stay there again.

A lovely apartment rather than a cottage, very clean & comfortable, ideal base for exploring, great walks nearby, but no real immediate amenities, the local pub was around a 20 minute walk & the shops were about a 5 minute drive away, you probably wouldn't want to walk it carrying shopping bags etc, the kitchen could have been a little better equipped, especially if you want to cook a lot during your stay & having no access to a garden made it a little impractical with the dogs, but nothing that couldn’t be managed, overall a lovely place & would recommend for a self catering holiday.

Everything at Buzzards was excellent, but the WiFi in the upper apparent was occasionally marginal when tried with five different devices. It’s not important unless you have important work to do.
An excellent place to to relax and enjoy the countryside and Jurassic Coast. Paul and his wife are perfect hosts.
