- "This is right on the seafront, only 10 mins walk from the station. The room had all the comforts, and i particularly liked the view from my window to the sea. Would recommend, as quiet, good wifi, en-suite. Everything you need, and also plenty of restaurants close bye." - "This is both an amazing location and an amazing hotel. Rob, the host, was a perfect one. He welcomed us, told us god places to eat etc and explained how the car park worked. The room was amazing. Clean, tidy and with the most amazing sea view. Coffee making facilities, toiletries and towels were pristine and the building was in superb condition. A really restful and comfortable stay If I had a single issue it was the car park. I found it stressful to leave a car in it blocking other cars in who might want to go out so moved it to a paid car park during the day. But having said that it was great to have somewhere to park overnight. I appreciate the restrictions of the space and it is dealt with well. Overall I would really recommend this hotel and will hopefully return soon. I know the dining room is being refurbished and look forward to breakfast in the future! "

A beautiful holiday home with everything you need for a comfortable self catered stay. Perfectly located for exploring the amazing jurrasic coast, only 20 minutes from the amazing Lulworth cove and Durdle door.

- "This property is ideally located to the centre of Bridport (around a 12 minute walk) and parking couldn't be easier along the road next to the house. We were delighted to find lots of little extras in our room which was the 'Denim' Room (the large room with ensuite). These included bread, milk, eggs, butter & jam to set us up for breakfast and a lovely touch of some wine & choccies to welcome us on our arrival! The cleanliness of the room was of the highest standard and we found the whole place peaceful - there are three letting rooms, all accessed by a separate front door to the owners side of the house & you have a key to lock the front door. Maybe we were lucky that we had quiet fellow travellers in the other room when we stayed but it's a good idea that children aren't allowed to stay here as the landing area could be problematic. We were glad that we didn't opt for the middle of Bridport for our weekend accommodation and this place suited us perfectly. Thankyou David & Lynda for a lovely stay in your property. "
