Fantastic quiet country location within easy reach of every part of the Dorset coast line and countryside.Extremely well maintained and cleaned property.The local pub serves a good range of meals and for shopping Bridport is only 10 minutes drive away.The only things you will miss by staying here is the hustle and bustle of every day life as you settle into the peaceful country location.Not a criticism but in our modern lives, we did miss the air fryer.

Everything as described in the accommodation listing. Mark has been so helpful. Wifi was great. We left two doggy bowls behind and he posted them back to us. Thank you so much and it was a great stay!

We had a lovely holiday at Sparrow in the late autumn. It was very warm and cosy and we were chuffed that the bed was really comfortable and not overly soft and backache inducing, so we had some great night's sleep! Despite Covid restrictions and some little extras and comforts having to be removed we had everything we needed. The big windows meant it was lovely and light with great views. The patio area would be lovely for warmer weather holidays too. The cottage was pretty secluded which is what we wanted but there were pubs within walking distance and its just a couple of miles from a big supermarket and Bridport amenities if you want them. The cottage is also positioned in a good place for exploring the area.
