“Some great things, some not so great.”

Beautiful cottage with lovely garden. If I could pick a village cottage to buy and make my own, this would be it. Fantastic location close to pub, community shop and craft centre - the locals we encountered were all lovely, very friendly and helpful ...

Beautiful cottage with lovely garden. If I could pick a village cottage to buy and make my own, this would be it. Fantastic location close to pub, community shop and craft centre - the locals we encountered were all lovely, very friendly and helpful. We found the cottage over-cluttered though, especially downstairs. Not sure anyone could thoroughly clean it between lets, even considering the extra few hours allowed due to COVID-19. Found a manky old tennis ball in amongst the chopping boards - plural, there were about a dozen of them! It was all very homely but with the pandemic, would have much preferred most if not all the extras removed.

“A beautiful house in a lovely little village.”

Our dogs really enjoyed the large enclosed garden. Great location for exploring the Jurassic Coast - Lyme Regis, Bridport etc

“A clean and comfortable cottage with a nice garden for when the weather is good.”

The village has a small shop for essentials and the White Lion just a minutes walk away serving pub grub but we found the service not very good. We did enjoy Bombay Spice in nearby Beaminster.

“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!

“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!
