  • "A beautifully equipped, characterful cottage in a convenient position for visiting all this stunning area has to offer."

    Very comfortable beds, parking is right outside the door and the grounds are great for dog walking with wonderful views in all directions. Due to the cottage’s proximity to the busy A35, we were warned there would be road noise, so this is probably not the best choice for anyone seeking a very quiet location. Downstairs it wasn’t a problem, but at night it might be, especially for a light sleeper. The sitting room is surprisingly spacious and the electric stove makes it feel lovely and cosy in the evening. The 3 sofas are all quite low however, so we’d advise any elderly family members to remember to take a booster cushion. On arrival it was so nice to find a cream tea, milk in the fridge and a welcoming message from our lovely host Esther. It was much appreciated and a great start to a very pleasant week. Thank you!

  • "Lovely cottage - very cozy."

    The house is very well equipped if you want to have a meal in, but it's also very near a few community run pubs. Easy access to Bridport and West Bay, good walks in the surrounding area and lots of prehistoric sites to visit. The owner answered enquiries before our booking and was very accommodating with regards to pets. She also provided us with clotted cream and scones on arrival which was a nice touch - very kind. The only recommendation I would make is to - make more of the garden area at the back of the house, as it has great potential. With some nice planting (and perhaps enclosed for dogs), it would be a lovely sun trap. We did enjoy our stay. Thank you Ester!

  • "This was a beautiful well cared for cottage and just perfect for our stay."

    It had absolutely everything we could possibly need and was in a great location to get to other areas with ease. The owners are the loveliest people, just so helpful and friendly and really made our stay perfect. We couldn’t be more grateful to them for such a wonderful stay, thank you so much!

    Thank you so much for the fab feedback, we're so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Goodluck in you Dorset wanderings. Best wishes Esther Property Owner

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Old Dairy."

    The welcome pack included treats for the dog which was a lovely touch. The cottage had even we needed and offered a comfortable base from which to explore Dorset. The paintings around the cottage were stunning and from a distance you may be mistaken for thinking they are photographs. A walk across the fields revealed a beautiful view across to the coast. We would recommend this cottage for a family of 5. Yes the road is a little noisy but you can't hear it from downstairs and by the evening it really isn't a problem. Thank you for our lovely holiday!

    Thank you for your feedback, it was lovely to meet you. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay. Best wishes Esther Property Owner

  • "The stay was lovely but I should have done more research on the location as the road was incredibly noisy."

    The advert did state road noise but it was more than I expected. The bottom oven doesn’t work, the knives were blunt, we couldn’t even cut some bread so we had to buy a knife sharper & the fridge froze our eggs and fruit! Apart from those little things it had everything we needed and only a 25 minute drive to the beaches.

    We're so glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for letting us know about the oven, it's new and all working now. Property Owner

  • "Sofas are very low for elderly people."

    Toilet seats were loose. Some of the crockery is very stained. You need a dustbin outside the property. On the plus side the beds were very comfortable and it's a lovely cottage in a nice location.

    The cottage was spacious, light and airy, clean, cool and comfortable. It was provisioned with everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The cider and cream tea's to welcome us were delicious and much appreciated. Esther was very welcoming and helpful with her local knowledge of all the good places to visit.

    The cream tea and cider was a lovely welcome surprise and we would definitely recommend this property for touring around Dorset. We were lucky to have very good weather and Esther was very helpful in providing us with fans to make the hot evenings more comfortable. Hopefully we will return.

  • "Generally a nice cottage, however the noise from the main A35 was very challenging so much so that it was impossible to have any windows open at night, it did state that there was some road noise but never mentioned it being that noisy all night long, it is after all a main road, the shower was blocked and it was put right but it shouldn’t have got to that if it was cleaned properly however it was a stunning location but you need a car to get to places even locally as you couldn’t walk along the main road as it was so busy, Dorset is beautiful but sorry I would not go back to the Old Dairy no garden as such to sit in just a picnic bench on gravel!"

    I'm sorry the road noise disturbed your stay. We are on the A35, I will make sure that is clear on the booking information. Thank you for alerting us to the shower so we could sort it out straight away. Guests have full use of the 4 acres of grounds which our 4 holiday cottages sit in. Property Owner

    The cottage is very well equiped and the Welcome Pack, even including a cream tea was a lovely thought. Although, as to be expected , at this time of year the weather was terrible, it was great when we got back to this warm, welcoming cottage. We would cerainly visit again.

Our hosts were also lovely and the welcome pack was a very well received upon arrival, thank you again.

BRIDPORT

Lyme Regis 10 miles; West Bay 2 miles.

The attractive market town of Bridport grew up around the River Brit, and was shaped by its extensive history of rope and net making. The long, wide streets and alleyways between the houses were once where the flax strands were twisted into rope, while today those streets are filled with an interesting variety of shops, restaurants and inns. Bridport’s market is regularly featured on the River Cottage TV programme. 2 miles south of Bridport is the dramatic Jurassic coast at West Bay, now a World Heritage Site, home to the backdrop for TV's Harbour Lights and the coastal setting for popular Broadchurch, whilst the picturesque resort of Lyme Regis is within 10 miles. A superb base for exploring wonderful West Dorset.
