It's well equipped, quiet, clean and cosy. The owners Angela & Steve, are very welcoming, helpful hosts who go that extra mile to make your stay more enjoyable with little extras. The cottage has lots of walks on the doorstep and a pub in the village. Hope to return next year.

I have never stayed anywhere so quiet. The hosts, Angela & Steve provided everything we needed for our stay. It was a great base for us to explore the area. We visited Lyme Regis, West Bay, Bridport, Durdle Door, Seaton and others. I would book again in a heartbeat.
