The cottage is in a perfect position very close to the lovely town of Bridport which has everything you need. We visited in February when the weather was mixed but the log burner was extremely cosy. The whole place is well equipped, there is a small kitchen but very easy to use. Mark gave an informative talk on the perils of the place, plus an arraRead morey of things to do in the surrounding area. I cannot recommend the place highly enough and we hope to return Hide

Great location - in a very quiet spot but very close to the town and the coast. Cottage is warm, really comfortable and has everything you might need. The owner made sure we had everything we wanted and provided lots of recommendations for meals out or places to visit (including the real tennis court literally next door). Highly recommended.

The cottage had been very tastefully renovated and was very comfortable and clean. The three of us had no problems with the beds or the bathroom facilities. It was a pleasure to stay there and we had an excellent holiday. The surrounding countryside was beautiful and access to Bridport and West bay very easy.

We enjoyed our stay. The Granary has been sensitively and well converted. It's is in a quiet location yet within easy walking distance of Bridport with access to other footpaths from the Village. Whilst the kitchen area is small, it's well equipped.
