“Nice people lovely cottage lovely place super holiday best.”

Place we have ever been

Place we have ever been

- Mr Wells, July 2019
“We chose Cowdea Cottage for the location and were not disappointed.”

Not only is it in a beautiful part of the world but access to many other places is easy and close by. The cottage is spacious and well equipped, with good wifi and phone access. We found the furnishings a bit dated - not our style - but this was easy to overlook, sitting in the sunroom or the garden, looking across the meadow, hearing the birds. We did not find any walks in the immediate vicinity and the road was busy with locals and farm vehicles, so not easy to walk. But a short drive away in Bettiscombe you could park at the Community Centre and follow the trails. The owners were friendly and helpful and despite living in the adjoining farmhouse, kept their distance and gave us our privacy. A wonderful tranquil and restful spot.

- Mrs St John, May 2019
“The views from the property were outstanding, especially as the weather was warm enough to sit out in the garden and enjoy them.”

The property had plenty of room for us and our two dogs. The fact that the garden was completely enclosed was a bonus for the dogs and you could walk them in the field close to the property. The owners were very friendly. The kitchen was well equipped. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was very good and the bathroom was spacious. The peace and quiet was lovely and we would definitely return and recommend to friends.

“Very nice cottage, plenty of room”

- Mrs Sellwood, March 2019
“Superb! see ref:2WM3G-18-EN for full details!”

- Mr Soanes, February 2019
“The owner of this delightful cottage is a joy.”

I hope to return again soon.

- Ms Gilbert, November 2018
“Very well equiped and maintained cottage.”

Valerie and Martyn are very friendly and helpful. Beautiful countryside. Dog friendly with fields close by to walk in. 15 minutes drive through narrow lanes to Bridport with supermarket and wide range of shops. Thorougly recommended.

- Mr Forbes, September 2018
“We had a lovely time at 1 Cowdea Farm and the owners were lovely, friendly, very helpful but never intrusive.”

A very peaceful quiet area and the patio area was so relaxing to sit out and enjoy the beautiful views. For dog owners looking for cottages, I think more information should be added to explain the securely enclosed area for dogs (unless a visitor had a very determined high jumping, escape artist type of dog!) We could relax, safe in the knowledge that our inquisitive dogs couldn't stray. It was also very useful to have a large, secure field for them to be exercised in. We'll be back, if they'll have us!

- Mrs Little, August 2018
“The cottage is obviously a recent conversion and it has been done to an extremely high standard.”

The layout and design are good. The four miles of single track road was a bit off-putting, but after that most of the South Dorset coastline was within easy reach. Really enjoyed our stay there.

- Mr Darbyshire, May 2018
“Our holiday at Number 1 Cowdea farm Cottage was perfect in every sense.”

From Booking to obtaining arrangements to collecting the key & following the easy directions through the Country Lanes from the owner Mrs Widger we found the cottage with ease. on arrival we entered the cottage we knew we had found a fantastic gem, it was clean, cosy & warm we had found paradise. It ticked all the boxes for us and we will definitely return to our relaxing hideaway. We were greeted by Martin & then Valerie who were the perfect hosts making us feel welcome & safe. Big thanks to them both. We would definitely recommend this cottage. Mr & Mrs Bridges
