What our guests say ...
- Kimberley02 Jun 2025We had the perfect and most relaxing holiday. Such a beautiful cottage with perfect little touches – from fresh eggs, flowers, scones, to the cottage having all amenities we could need (games, well stocked kitchen, stair gate, high chair, wellies, umbrella, blankets etc). A relaxing, tranquil home from home on the most wonderful farm with the most stunning garden. Our little one loved the sheep and geese – Tessa the host was so wonderful with local recommendations and helpful with anything we needed. Perfectly located for Bridport, Charmouth, Lyme Regis, Jarassic Coast, Weymouth etc. We will absolutely be back. Thank you!read moreread less

- Calum05 May 2025Tess is truly a wonderful host. Both she and Charlie made us feel most welcome and were very helpful. The cottage is really comfortable and the gardens lovely. It is such a peaceful spot but still just a short drive to the coast and the busy spots. Feeding the lambs was a real highlight and it was most relaxing wandering around the farm amongst all of the animals. I highly recommend Tess’s beautiful cottage and I’m sure we’ll be back.read moreread less
