one of the four important settlements in the area, now thriving on
its unique arts scene and outstanding coastal setting. As well as

Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage series.
Cultural enthusiasts will find Bridport self-catering cottages

lovers of the outdoors are also well-catered for, with many
