About this cottage rental

Located in Bridport, this attractive cottage for $121 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. You will not find a better location in the whole of Bridport! Very quietly situated in a 'no through' road just off East Street. This stone built terraced cottage is 5 mins walk to Bucky Doo Sq where there is live music on Saturday market days. Bridport is situated on the River Brit and was originally a port. It was known for its rope and net making and many of the alleyways and twittens originate because of the need to lay out the rope and nets. Situated only 1.5m from stunning Jurassic coast (fantastic fossil hunting) and West Bay (location of Broadchurch). You may bump into local celebrities (Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Martin Clunes, PJHarvey, Billy Bragg and others) plus London celebs who come to support events at the Electric Palace, where groups regularly play in the revived Art Deco cinema. There is also the Arts Centre hosting an eclectic range of art exhibitions, films and entertainment. Annual events include Food & Beer Festival, Literary Festival, Hat Festival & Open Art Studio week. St Michaels Trading Estate (behind South Street) has a Vintage & Retro Fair one Sunday in every month and Bridport market (stalls along East St, West St, South St and many side roads) is buzzing every Wednesday and Saturday. Bridport has a reputation as The centre for 'foodies' in the South West with it’s amazing range of eateries to suit all tastes and nationalities. West Bay is within walking distance (1.5 miles) and has fabulous beaches, very good restaurants - (try The Rise, Station Kitchen, Watch House) - and a 3 storey warehouse 'The Custom House' of vintage goods, local produce, bric a brac and clothes situated right on the beach. Choice of eateries is from sophisticated fine dining to colourful beach huts for take aways.

Lovely little cottage, but the most ‘lived in’ Vbro/Abnb place we have ever stayed in. It’s clean and tidy and well located, easy access to restaurants and shops and ideally located to explore the famous Jurassic Coast. The cottage had most things we needed for our short stay. Parking is however the biggest issue with this property as there is only one hours parking allowed outside the property as it’s permit holders only (no permit left for guests to use) and then it’s a case of hunt a space (there were literally none when we arrived and my husband spent a long time driving around trying to find one. Details say park in the carpark in Bridport, but we did not want to leave our newish car in a public carpark over a weekend, especially NYE weekend. The internet service is also very poor and travelling with a family who all have devices meant no one could actually download a webpage. There is also a Ring doorbell camera/light outside the property entrance, which although for security I’m sure is great, but as guests, it very much feels as though your comings and goings are being monitored. In addition, a sign saying on leaving can you strip all the beds (something I have done in every property I’ve stayed in without being asked) asked so blatantly when you’re paying a considerable cleaning fee does not sit that comfortably.

We had a short stay in bridport. The location of this property was perfect. Walking distance to the high street with lots of pubs and places to eat. Cottage was very cosy, comfortable and very clean. Parking was a bit of a struggle due to the time of year but this was communicated to us via the hosts once we had booked. Overall great stay and would definatly stay again 😊

We had a wonderful few days here. The house is a couple of minutes walk from Bridport town centre. It has everything you need, and the garden is a peaceful and beautiful spot (much bigger than it looked online)

We returned to this lovely cottage one again and our stay was perfect. The cottage is cosy and very neat and well appointed. Lovely spacious bathroom and bedrooms and beds all very comfortable. We were able to spend time sitting in the lovely cottage garden amongst the blue bells and. The cottage is in the centre of Bridport within a few steps of the town centre but in a back street which is very quiet with no passing traffic. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return again.

We had a lovely time here over Easter weekend. The cottage was very comfortable and cosy and perfectly placed in Bridport for wandering around and soaking up the atmosphere. The garden was also so pretty and much bigger than we’d expected.

A Cosy little cottage. Lovely garden For older people . Shower over bath. No handrail Steep narrow stairs . Lots of rules posted everywhere. Not relaxing. Some conflicting. Eg. Leave windows open. Leave windows closed. No soap for the shower. A small inconvenience for travelers Pepper grinder broken. No salt shaker Stingy wine glasses. Certainly not a welcoming experience. .
