A lovely place in a great location. James was very helpful and facilities like the fire helped make the break. The village is very picturesque but comes with a lack of mobile phone signal, which can be positive or negative depending on your view point! Checking in was easy and James helped with local information and with a top up of wood. We had a good night's sleep there and would definitely go again

Brilliant few days away, would highly recommend this cottage and also the village and surrounding area. The cottage is lovely - beautifully presented, clean, comfortable, stocked with the essentials so you can settle straight in and as described. James was helpful and on-hand when needed and the information book and leaflets left in the cottage were really useful. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at Rose Cottage. We would thoroughly recommend it as a base for exploring this beautiful part of Dorset. James was very welcoming and accommodating and the house was very clean and comfortable with everything you could need. Nice enclosed little garden and some lovely walks to take the dog. Perfect.

This cottage was so lovely - perfect for a countryside escape and so easy to reach beautiful beaches! The cottage itself is homely, cosy and clean with everything we could have wanted. James had even left some biscuits, jam and milk for us on our arrival, making us feel welcome and at home straight away. I can't recommend this cottage enough!

Lovely cottage in a peaceful and secluded area . The cottage is well equipped and we had no problems finding anything we might have needed . The owner was very helpful and provided some tips on what to see in the local area .

The cottage is beautifully set up and was spotless. We were able to enjoy sitting in the garden amongst the beautiful plants and the comfort levels of the sofas and beds were very high.

Cottage is very well-equipped and beautiful throughout. Very clean and tidy, perfect for a family with children.

We had a lovely week staying at The Chapel. It is a beautiful place,tastefully converted and we were very comfortable. Lovely beds and a great shower were particularly appreciated. This very pretty village makes a great base for visiting the Jurassic Coast.

We had a fantastic time at Jason's place. Beautiful house, done up gorgeously, wonderful 17th c ash floorboards in the bedrooms - thoroughly recommended.

Such a great house, the location is excellent and very close to the sea and the hosts were very helpful and friendly! Very happy with our stay!

Jason and Kate were great hosts. They were there to greet us and show us the house and indeed to see us off when we left. They were easily contactable for any issues. The house is beautiful. For what the house lacks in luxury (no stand in showers) it more than makes up forum character and beauty. We were fortunate to have a really sunny day and the family had memorable afternoon playing and exploring the huge pretty gardens. Thank you

The perfect location and venue for our extended family get together. The photos really don't do the property justice, it's a beautiful home and perfect for family gatherings. Kate and Jason were very welcoming, we had a fantastic break and made wonderful memories, thank you.

This is a fantastic house a stone's throw from special Jurassic coastal spots: Burton Bradstock and West Bay. It's a beautiful building with big rooms, big baths, plenty of comfy beds, a snug and fire and lots of space for a group to stomp around in. For families, if you like country living then this could be just your thing. If you like your mods and cons (like plasma screens and candles in every room) maybe not. I'd advise you ask Jason about what equipment there is (e.g. cooking, cleaning, fire stuff) and the general set up of the house for young people. Our young kids had a wild old time and didn't want to leave. And the house made for an entertaining space for adults.

Beautiful beautiful spacious house with excellent outdoor space. It's an old house so doesn't have your mod cons but that's why it's so enchanting.

Beautiful house in the perfect location to explore Dorset

It's a beautiful place, but the house feels a bit unloved, and it was shame that it wasn't warmer (or logs provided) when we arrived.

Julie and Mark couldn't have made me feel more welcome. Mark texted me clear directions on the day but when I overshot the turning in the dark came out looking for me! He asked what I wanted for breakfast and when I said "Toast...marmite .. would be fine" said "Oh" and promptly went out to buy Marmite! Mark also advised well about local places to eat and helped me find directions to my next stop. Oh, the view from my room was lovely. Julie was out for most of my time but was so warm and friendly when she came home. I hope to be back.

Lovely property with big rooms and country views. We arrived late in the evening as we drove down from London after work but Mark was up and provided us a warm welcome and cup of tea on arrival! We only stayed one night so didn't get the full benefit of the lovely country setting and house (including big snooker table) but we definitely enjoyed our stay and would return if we were in the area again. Mark and Julie make you feel very at home and are happy for you to help yourselves to breakfast that is available. Julie provided some good tips of things to see on our trip to Cornwall and pointed our places on the map for us to visit. Thanks for having us.

I feel very lucky to have stumbled upon a gem in terms of the accommodation, the friendliness of the hosts and the superb location. Wonderful!

Lovely large double room, with lovely views over the rolling Dorset countryside. Perfect location for coastal walks and exploring this quiet rural area. Julie and Mark were perfect hosts, helping us to make reservations at the best local pubs, and recommending various walks. We were welcome to do whatever we wanted for breakfast, bacon eggs cereal toast etc. Fabulous shared lounge with open log fire, and a pool table for a rainy day. A very dog friendly place, the dog mat and a bowl of treats were a lovely touch. Strongly recommended!

I feel very lucky to've found this AirBnB. Fabulous location, views and facilities.... a house with character in a rural setting.... but beyond that Mark and Julie were just so friendly and welcoming, it helped me to relax about sharing the communal spaces - kitchen in particular! - and to really enjoy the connection with them and their other guests also. Everything was as described - no nasty surprises - and for me it was great to be able to have separate fridge and cupboard spaces as I needed food for my 5-day stay. Don't expect a mobile signal if you're on Vodafone, but I understand that other providers work well there, so check first if important to you. And Wifi was much better than I've found elsewhere in the Dorset countryside, which was another plus!

Thank you Julie, Mark, Darren , Growler et al . Loved stopping with you all. Always love the place and is my too stay place if I am within range of work . Love you guys Pushp

Julie and Mark are wonderfully friendly and welcoming. They have created a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The house is beautifully clean, set in the heart of the countryside with views towards the sea, yet a short distance from all that Bridport has to offer.

Julie and Mark extended a very warm welcome to us from their lovely home in West Dorset. Just off the A35 and very rural, it's a truly gorgeous spot. After check in with cups of tea we were shown to our room where Julie had very helpfully set up the travel cot for our 4 month old daughter. Our dog also had a bed. The bathroom was just next door on the landing. Julie and her Husband live downstairs . We had access to a great games room / sitting area with an open fire which Mark kept roaring all evening. We opted to eat Fish n Chips from Longs in Bridport who were excellent and only 10 mins drive away. Julie very thoughtfully warmed plates for us and offered condiments with trays to help us . We spent a very pleasant evening with mark and Julie in the front room chatting and drinking our wine. The pool table got some use as well., All in all a very nice stay and a very warm welcome from a friendly, honest and helpful couple. Highly recommended

Excellent location and beautiful surroundings. Well worth the money!

We visited with my 83 year old mum, our 4 children and their husbands/partners etc. We had an amazing time. The welcome basket and milk in fridge was a lovely touch. The location in perfect. The cottage is perfect. Amazingly well equipped, cleaned to a very high standard and basically just perfect. We hope as a family to visit again. James went to the trouble of coming to tell us where to take Mum to see the sea and enjoy a coffee without having to walk miles. Which we really appreciated. We can't recommend the house, James or the area highly enough. Miss this, you miss out

Brilliant place and very nice host

Lovely clean, spacious cottage, well stocked kitchen, everything we needed for a relaxing weekend.

One of the best AirBnB experiences I've ever had. Clean and quiet house, scenic surroundings and fantastic hosts, Julie and Mark, who were friendly, accommodating and had excellent knowledge of the local area. Highly recommended.

I cannot tell you how much I recommend staying at Julie's. Not only is this airbnb extremely well located for hiking or exploring the Jurassic Coast, and close to numerous pretty villages and pubs, but Julie and Mark make wonderful hosts who have been more than accommodating and gone the extra mile with helping me get around. The room was more than comfortable (not to mention the lovely bed!) and the house is right at the doorstep of great hiking routes. Would definitely come back. Thank you Julie and Mark for the wonderful experience!

The house of Julie is picturesquely situated in the green hills of southern England. From our bed we could see the ocean. To relax and enjoy nature just the right place.

See previous review

Very nice house and beautiful farm, there are pool table and capacious bathroom! It is recommendable.

Thank you for making us feel so welcome, we had a wonderful stay and would love to come back again and enjoy your beautiful home.

Julie and Mark's accomodation is absolutely top notch. A very comfy bed, a fantastic view from the window and attention to detail like lamps next to the bed, towel rail etc. armchair to sit and read or leave your day's clothes on. They are great hosts, there is a pool table and a DVD player to either play what they have or bring your own for the evenings. They are also very easy going people and great hosts. The kitchen is almost too big, two microwaves, two gas hobs, two ovens, two fridges and they let you use these appliances if you want for breakfast provide eggs, juice, coffee, bread etc. You do need a car or bike as I'd expect you'll see when checking the location details but the place's position means that for sight-seeing you can get to Burton Bradstock or West Bay's beach pretty easily and you are very close to the A35 for trips to Dorchester, Kingston Lacey manor house, Bridport, Lyme Regis or the many wonderful walks you can take or villages peruse of this part of Dorset. I really couldn't fault this air b 'n' b in any way but I hope that not too many of you read this review because I hope the place is available the next time I want to visit this part of Dorset!

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Perry was very welcoming. The house was clean and comfortable. The accommodation is a bit quirky and unusual with a quaint double attic room and another double room on the 1st floor along with a bathroom. There are two cats roaming around and a lovely outside sitting area with a beautiful rural view. The house is on the A35 just before Winterbourne Abbas. Easy to miss as hidden behind the trees.

We were looking for an interesting place to stay in south Dorset and Ashley's listing looked intriguing so we booked. And boy were we rewarded! A stunning Manor House with fabulous grounds in gorgeous location well off the beaten track. Ashley is a great character with a real 'glint in his eye' - he was a generous and utterly engaging host throughout. He cooked us a great breakfast whilst telling stories of restoring cars and mechanic-ing on the 'Mille Miglia'. His obvious love for his home, dogs and the countryside; and the hard work he puts in to keep it all so glorious made us feel very privileged to be allowed to stay! It would be very easy to think this review is so much hyperbole but I can genuinely say that 'privileged to have stayed there' was how we felt on leaving. How rare is that?

Ashley's place was absolutely stunning and we were made to feel very welcome by the host, and instantly felt at home. Ashley provided us with some fantastic recommendations for the area.

A fantastic unique house in an outstanding location.

Had a wonderful stay here. Magnificent house in glorious location...complete peace! Such a pretty room and beautiful bed linen and immaculately clean. Although the bedroom is quite small, there's a private living area with sofas and tv if you need it. (We didn't) Loved the location. Perfect for exploring the Dorchester area - Lyme Regis, Chesil beach and the Jurassic coast all very close by. Ashley a great host. We had a key (which takes you directly to the wing with your room) so we could come and go as we wanted. But Ashley happy to offer day trip and restaurant suggestions if you need them. He also does THE most amazing breakfasts -homemade granola, wonderful local sausages and bacon and eggs from his own chickens. Highly recommended and we'll definitely return!

We had a fabulous time at BLC. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely weekend stay at Bredy Lane Cottage. The cottage is in a beautiful and peaceful spot with views across the valley and to the sea. Charlie responded to emails quickly.

Lovely cottage with great views. Cosy and somewhat rustic, excellent use of space, interesting history. In a rural setting, but close to essentials including Charlie's cider shed, Modbury Farm Shop, and Burton Bradstock beach. Communication with Charlie was very good, and there is a relaxed and friendly atmosphere on the farm. Our young kids loved it, as did we.

We had an amazing holiday, with a unique view and location, near to the most beautiful beaches. If you stay at Bredy lane cottage you must go to the farm shop, the local food is amazing and worth to try. We also went to the durdle door beach, which was stunning and only 30 min drive. The cottage is was very clean and cosy when we got there, it was a very relax place to be and we all loved!!! The kids had a good time playing in the garden and exploring. I will be coming back very soon. Thank you Charlie!

We loved everything! We could have stayed forever. In our opinion, there was a very Canadian feel to this very English cottage; it felt like home. Log fires, the best cider ever, and every little thing provided for. Not to mention the views, the proximity to so many amazing places, the peace and quiet... and Charlie is a very cool right on dude. You should stay here as long as you can.

Great location, amazing 70's decor, good kitchen and awesome views. If you are looking for a secluded weekend in Dorset with great views, this should be top of your list.

Brilliant location and a cosy place to spend the day if it's raining or you need a rest

Really beautiful location - views of the hills and the sea and the cider farm with bar just down the road. The cottage is very sweet and has everything you need - a very well stocked airbnb with kitchen stuff, toiletries, logs for the fire etc - great!

Andrew was a wonderful host, he provided helpful tips on the local area including local walks and restaurants. He checked in daily with us to check we were ok and enjoying our break and was also very accommodating at the arrival of an additional guest (my sister). He is also a really interesting and engaging character. As for the cottage, it is absolutely gorgeous and kitted out with everything you could possibly need. The farm shop supplies, wine and other goodies left for us were a lovely touch. The surrounding area is beautiful, it's just a two minute walk to the beach. We had such a wonderful break, I would whole heartedly recommend Andrew and Short Cottage.

Everything from the hospitality to the place was absolutely perfect. Andrew and his wife Julie were very kind (and forgiving when I accidentally stole their lovely dog for an afternoon walk!). The place is exactly as advertised. A world class location. We had such a nice time, and hope to go back soon.

The first three words you will say on arrival here are "wow, wow, wow!" Short House is situated in the most spectacular setting. We were lucky enough to arrive late afternoon on a beautifully sunny September day to see it at its best. If you like a sea view and a rural setting you will not be disappointed. The cottage is very well appointed with everything you could need. It was clean and comfortable. Andrew was a perfect host and gave us some excellent recommendations of places to visit etc, he made us feel very welcome and arrived with wine and Dorset apple cake amongst other things! There are some great sights within easy reach of short house and the beach is a two minute walk across the field. We felt very lucky to have found such a great spot. Thank you Andrew!

The Short House is the perfect place to stay if you wand tranquility, beautiful sunsets and picturesque sceneries. The house was impeccably clean, well equipped and the beds were comfortable. Andrew is a great host ensuring that we had all we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 days and would stay again and recommend to our friends.

The house is in a gorgeous, secluded location, a few minutes walk from the beach. The rooms themselves are quirkily and tastefully decorated, with a well-stocked kitchen (all local produce) and a large DVD library for a few days' stay. The area nearby has plenty of great restaurants, most only a ten minute drive away. Andrew was the perfect host, always friendly, never intrusive, but always there to offer help if needed. A lovely couple of days!

Short House was perfect for our family getaway. What a privileged location. So much attention to detail has gone in to making sure all guests of Short House feel totally at home. The light! The views! Absolutely fantastic place. Thank you for your kindness Andrew, J and family ;-)

We could not have been more fortunate to discover Andrew's house, the perfect place from which to explore the natural beauty of Dorset. Andrew was an extremely hospitable host, and we were made to feel very welcome, even with two young children in tow. Short House is a truly special place, with its unique coastal location and direct access onto Chesil Beach, far reaching views and infinite amounts of land for roaming, not to mention the very sociable horses! The house itself was also lovely and well equipped with everything we needed, and despite being only two bedrooms, we did not feel cramped at all. Surrounded by fields as far as the eye can see, we enjoyed a truly peaceful environment while the kids enjoyed running around freely - a wonderful holiday experience for all. We will definitely be returning.

The Short House provides a fantastic base to explore the Dorset coast. With Chesill Bank a short stroll through the lower field, and a great walk down the beach to the Sub Tropical gardens at Abbotsbury. The cottage is exactly as described proving perfect for our family of 4. Very well appointed with all one would require to lay on those holiday banquets, or toasted cheese if preferred! Andrew and Julie were warm and very helpful with all our requirements from our first contact, very relaxed and flexible, and available whenever needed. The fridge was stocked so we could immediately put our feet up and enjoy the glorious sunsets. The tennis court provided further escape with views making it hard to keep one eye on the ball. All in all a perfect break with perfect hosts.

A thoroughly enjoyable stay in a wonderful, peaceful location. Jasper is a great host, we hope to come again.

Great host with good local knowledge of places to go, visit & eat. Nice remote farm location, very quiet & lovely setting. Some good local pubs within a short drive, & great base for those visiting the Jurassic coast..

This was such a great stay! Jasper was not only very helpful in guiding us to his place in the middle of the night, but also turned out to be a very kind host, a great breakfast chef, and a very interesting and interested personality. Lots of smiles and funny stories included. The BnB he is running is located in an absolutely beautiful location that served as a perfect basis for our climbing trip. Thanks!

Good quality accommodation. Located in very isolated and hilly position meaning unless dedicated cyclist or purely staying for walks in the very picturesque countryside then must use the car. Not walkable to amenities in the evening. Excellent non light polluted star gazing. Breakfast cooked by host within your accomodation, very chatty and approachable.

Beautiful location, in an idyllic country setting. Fantastic for walking. We had a wonderful stay with welcoming hospitality and jasper makes a great breakfast.

Wonderful , out of the way location with a very intelligent and entertaining host - who creates the most delicious of breakfasts !

Jasper was incredible. Very accommodating, incredibly kind and can whip up an incredible breakfast. Fantastic location that you won't forget! Wish to make it back one day.

Jasper was exceptionally friendly, outgoing and willing to share his extensive knowledge of the surrounding areas. He gave us several great recommendations for things to see and do while we were we stayed in his newly converted guest accommodations. The buildings are all old, 19th century buildings, but the bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen area were newly remodeled. The beds were very comfortable and Jasper's breakfast was amazing. Jasper makes and serves the breakfast and it was nothing short of outstanding. Thanks for the great stay!

A wonderful, modern, superbly equipped house in a very quiet, rural location. Excellent communication with Anna & extremely comprehensive information pack at the property. Highly recommended.

We had such a wonderful time at this gorgeous house. It had everything we needed for our weekend and the positioning was perfect. Very easy communication with our host too. We will definitely be returning!!

We loved staying in Anna's house, everything was over the top. Good communication with Anna. This is the perfect house for family vacation.

Gorgeous home in a quaint little village away from the hustle and bustle!! The beds were super comfy, our best sleep yet on what has been a mammoth few weeks driving and self catering around the UK. Clean, comfy and warm, highly recommended to anyone visiting the Jurassic Coast. Thank you Anna!!

The house is very well presented with all the facilities we needed and the welcome food was a nice touch. It is in a very peaceful setting. Anna rang to welcome us and to make sure that we had all that we needed. We had a great stay.

Hi Anna , we had a really comfortable stay . The house was warm when we arrived , which was nice on a cold day . The house was lovely and clean as were the beds and bathrooms . It had everything you need for a comfortable stay . The pint of milk and biscuits were a lovely touch , we had a well earned cup of tea before heading out on a food shop . The log burner made it very cosy at night . A real home from home , we would love to stay again !! The John's xx

This house was truly beautiful. It had everything you could possibly need for a holiday. It was a true home away from home. We had 3 young children with us and there was plenty of space to accomindate us all. The house is well set up for children and has a lovely outside space. Anna had provided most of the basics for our stay, including tea, coffee & milk (the biscuits where a lovely added extra). The area is quite secluded but stunning. Morrisons was only a 10 minute drive away so we was able to pop out and get bits when needed. Would love to visit again in the near future.

Beautiful house. Clean, well equipped and very welcoming. Anna is a very good communicator. Area is lovely and easy to get about. We loved our stay (5 adults and 1 baby) it suited us all. The village pub is friendly. We would highly recommend Serenity House.
