Lying in the charming village of Bothenhampton, Sweet Briar encapsulates that perfect combination of a tranquil rural setting close to a stunning coastline. Sweet Briar (ref 8234, ground floor; Buzzards ref 8235, first floor) is in the east wing of an old country house. This ground floor apartment incorporates lovely features including a walk in shower, high quality Sea Salt bedding, and a garden. The fully fitted kitchen is well-equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine, electric oven and ceramic hob, a fridge and a freezer. Featuring coastal influences throughout to reflect the wonderful location of the apartment, the rooms are tastefully decorated in cornflour white to combine a feeling of calm and freshness. Original paintings from local artists showcase the stunning area.

After a day exploring the glorious World Heritage Jurassic Coast or strolling through the wonderful countryside, chat and relax in the sitting room on a comfortable sofa with warm light provided by the lamps. From here you can look out through the French doors leading to the patio and enjoy the view of the hill behind the property. In this outdoor area featuring beautiful roses, you can sit back and relax whilst listening to the birds and watching the sunlight dance across the space.

Sweet Briar provides the perfect holiday base for experiencing the beauty and unique energy of Dorset. There’s something for everyone from wandering among the stalls at Bridport’s markets, visiting Bridport’s Vintage Quarter, walking the famous South West Coast Path, swimming in the sea, fishing and crabbing at the harbour, and fossil hunting at nearby Charmouth. The area is rich in history and culture as exemplified by the local festivals, Iron Age hill fort, Bronze Age barrows, and the only thatched brewery which is nearby for you to visit. There is also a thriving local food and drinks scene. 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.

A wonderful retreat for relaxing, hiking, beachcombing, sightseeing.

A wonderful retreat for relaxing, hiking, beachcombing, sightseeing.Very comfortable accomodation, immaculately clean, tucked away in a very peaceful edge of village location. Great area for dog walking and so close to the beach we felt we had everything on our doorstep.Lovely cream tea and a jug of milk awaited our arrival, could not ask for a better welcome! Thank you so much for a very special few days!

What a lovely holiday home - in an idyllic rural setting with lots of different walks right on the doorstep- but also only a stone's throw from Bridport town and only a mile from West Bay beach and harbour. We have three dogs and it was hard to find a place that would allow that many. Yet Sweet Briar was clean, light, airy and well equipped; it felt really relaxing - lovely private patio with rosebushes and garden furniture. Great base to explore Dorset from. Cream tea waiting on arrival is a nice touch. Helpful tip - the water is quite hard so use bottled water in the kettle to make your tea!

Arrived to a lovely clean bright apartment Nicely furnished and modern.

Arrived to a lovely clean bright apartment Nicely furnished and modern. Kitchen well equipped.. Great having fenced off garden for our dog and pleasant to sit in the sunshine. Good for parking. Very near to West Bay and Bridport . Only five minutes in the car .Good area to get to Lyme Regis and Weymouth . The only negative was the noise from apartment above. Creaking floorboards and could hear every time they moved and vibrations from the washing machine .

This was a really lovely place for an autumn getaway, brilliantly located, warm, well-equipped and beautifully presented. We enjoyed walking from the front door and exploring the beautiful countryside as well as having other fantastic locations a short drive away. The owners are lovely, very caring when we had to delay arrival due to illness. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Lovely flat, very clean and useful outside space for our dogs.

Lovely flat, very clean and useful outside space for our dogs. Other than some silly parking the building work was not an issue and that will all be finished shortly. The only issue we had was that you are able to hear the people in the flat above and we were once woken at 6 in the morning by the noise. Otherwise the holiday home would have been near perfect.

The accommodation was excellent, very clean and tastefully decorated and furnished.

The accommodation was excellent, very clean and tastefully decorated and furnished. Kitchen and bathroom were of a particularly high standard. Nice area to sit out on with lovely views. Good location for exploring the local area. Only slight downside for us was the size of the bed as we are used to a king size. The scones, jam and cream were a nice touch.

My husband, daughter and our two furry babies spent two weeks in the lovely garden cottage. The welcome gift of a beautiful cream tea when we arrived was a perfect finish to our long day of travelling. We spent many days in the lovely garden sunning ourselves and found the piece and quite of the village location rejuvenating. It was also the perfect base and location for us to explore many beaches and towns along the coastline. The couple who own the cottage couldn’t have been more helpful. Thanks

This apartment is in an ideal location for exploring the Dorset coast.

This apartment is in an ideal location for exploring the Dorset coast. Bridport and West Bay are well within walking distance and there are excellent longer walks from the door. The apartment is well equipped and comfortable. A major drawback is the noise from the upstairs apartment. Every footstep can be heard and seems to reverberate around. There was also a dog upstairs when we were there and we could frequently hear its tail thumping on the floor.
