Slightly further is the market town of Bridport, where you will find a twice-weekly market (Saturday and Wednesday) and plenty of independent shops and cafés to explore one afternoon.

Unable to get hold of Sykes or the insurance company to put in a claim. Left messages on chat and found no number where I could actually speak to a real person. No response to my âlive chatâ requesting advice. My husband is having a pacemaker fitted next week. The owners were very understanding. However not only have we lost a significant amount of money weâre extremely disappointed with lack of customer services in the Sykes organisation and so called Insurance. Tel Nos non existent and non responsive. Nothing but recorded messages and options not serviced by anyone. Weâve been left high and dry. We booked our holiday last year May 23 and were looking forward to it so very much.

Coastal walks on the doorstep, a lovely patio to sit out on with a glass of wine or beer on an evening and a comfortable bed to rest our heads. Alan and Jill were lovely and we hope to come back some day. Thank you.
