- Mrs Campbell, September 2020
“We loved the cottage, it made a fantastic base for our family holiday!”

Really well equipped, spacious and located in a lovely, friendly village - just a stones throw from the quiet playground and local pub. The weekly fish and chip van was also a serious hit with our family. We really did have a lovely holiday and the surrounding countryside is stunning. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the cottage to others!

- Mrs Gasson, August 2020
“We had a wonderful family holiday in this beautiful cottage in the charming, friendly village of Broadwindsor.”

The cottage is equipped with everything you need. We had fantastic weather and visited many nearby beautiful beaches and coastal walks as well as going a little further afield to Lulworth Cove & Durdle Door in East Dorset and Branscombe in Devon. Broadwindsor has lovely pub & village shop and we enjoyed several bbqs in the garden. Thanks for a fabulous week!

- Mrs Sriparam, July 2020
“Lover Blackbird Cottage and Broadwindsor, usually go to Devon but the cottage we wanted to book wasn’t available so we chose to come here and wasn’t disappointed.”

Great cottage, The White Lion in the village was excellent, good food, good beer, excellent landlord and friendly locals. Village shop also very good and an ideal base for coastal visits like West Bay, Lyme Regis, and Seatown. Will look to book again next year, Paul, Charlie, Harry, Isabel, Harvey dog and in laws.

- Mr Lenton, October 2019
“The cottage was excellent, except that on arrival it was very cold and damp inside and smelt fusty.”

It was obvious that no one had stayed there for a few weeks. The controller for the Central Heating was set at only 12*C so it took a couple of days for the place to feel lived in and welcoming when you walked in. .

- Mrs Hutton, March 2019
“Cottage lovely and warm very cosy.”

We felt at home on arrival. Everything you need and more. Pub across the road with great menu and Large G/F choice. Well stocked community shop. No real bus service we drove to Bridport to use bus service.

- Mrs Walsh, October 2018
“We enjoyed our stay and Blackbird Cottage was lovely.”

We particularly liked the log burner. The bedrooms were clean and functional. The kitchen was so well equipped with everything you might want. We did find the large sofa uncomfortable to sit on and also the fact that hot water only comes on twice a day made us nervous about using the amazing bath in case we used all the hot water up. Lovely pub across the road. Shop was great.
