What our previous guests are saying ...
- Katie21 Sep 2024One of the best places we’ve ever stayed. Strongate View is a cosy apartment, set in beautiful rural views. Tessa has created a comfy and clean place, with plenty of leaflets, games, maps and recommendations for the local area. Solwayash is a great place to stay to explore all of Dorset, and even go further afield. Close to Bridport for the markets and eclectic shops, and also West Bay and Lyme Regis for gorgeous coastline and beaches. What more could you want?! Would recommend to anyone, and we’ll be staying again!read moreread less

- Vibeke N.21 Jul 2024The cottage not only lived up to but far exceeded our expectations. Pictures cannot fully capture the charm and tranquility of the cottage nor the care that has been put into making it homey and welcoming. Also, Tessa is absolutely lovely and a fountain of helpful advice. We will for sure be coming back.read moreread less

- Cecile16 Jul 2024It was magical – we loved everything about it! A beautiful location, with an idyllic thatched cottage in an English country garden, with geese and chickens running around – it was so quintessentially English! We have stayed at many cottages over the years, but this was really special – and Tess was lovely, so kind and helpful. So thank you!read moreread less

- Carmen05 Jul 2024Wir waren mit unseren zwei kleinen Mädels (3 und 1 Jahr) sehr spät abends angereist. Tess blieb lange wach und half uns dabei das Cottage zu finden und gut anzukommen. Wir sind ihr dafür sehr dankbar. Wir hatten während unseres Aufenthalts totale Privatsphäre, wussten aber, dass wir uns jederzeit hätten an sie wenden können.
Es ist ein liebevoll gestaltetes Cottage und der Garten ist wirklich wundervoll. Es waren regelmäßig Eichhörnchen und viele Vögel zu sehen. In naher Umgebung waren auch zwei Kuhweiden, die wir regelmäßig besuchten. Alles in allem sehr ländlich, idyllisch und privat. Man erreicht mit dem Auto in ca. 20 Minuten die Jurassic Coast. In Bridport konnten wir uns gut mit Lebensmitteln eindecken und es gibt nette Pubs und vieles mehr. Wir würden die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen und wieder besuchen. Vielen Dank an Tess für den tollen Urlaubsort!read moreread less - Ben03 Jul 2024We had a great stay at Tessa’s. View was incredible, especially in the early morning and sunset. There’s a great farmers’ market nearby, and the drive to Bridport was quick and easy to. Wonderful area, great pubs, and would love to visit again.
The apartment itself was very clean and we felt there was plenty of space. There’s a nice sofa to relax in the evening and the bathroom was great too.
We’d highly recommendread moreread less - Kuen K.30 Jun 2024Loved the apartment, beautiful views of the area from the apartment. Enjoyed the scones and definitely will return should we be in the area.

Tessa is a fab host, a much appreciated cream tea was there on our arrival.
We were very lucky to have such great weather on our stay, and along with our two pets, we spent a great deal of time enjoying Tessa’s beautiful country garden.
We throughly recommend Tessa’s cottage, and would love to return.read moreread less - Mary20 Jun 2024Lovely clean flat with a beautiful view
Well equipped, good shower and comfortable bedread moreread less - Miranda03 Oct 2020Rural idyll and yet so close to West Bay, the coastal path. and many other beautiful places like Lyme Regis. We had a lovely few days in the orchard. The geese were definitely keeping an eye on us! Only 20 mins drive to go fishing at Abbotsbury. Great walk up Colmer’s hill near Symondsbury to see for miles around. The cabin was beautifully clean and well equipped. Tess was a really kind and thoughtful host. We highly recommend this little corner of West Dorset and hope to return one day soon.read moreread less
