- Mr Porrill, May 2019

- Miss Convery, March 2019
“The cottage is ideal: attractive, well-furnished, all kitchen equipment that could be required (except a tea cosy)is to hand.”

The bedrooms well-appointed and the beds & bedding just right for the grotty weather we had - they didn't encourage us to "get-up-& go". The garden is very attractive, well laid out & maintained. Our hosts were welcoming, helpful & understanding.....it wasn't their fault that the promised eggs failed to materialise. Altogether we made a good choice! How pleasant it is to be woken by a cockerel.

- Mr Bennett,
“A fantastic cottage with everything you could ask for and very hospitable owners.”

Would highly recommend and will be visiting again.

- Mrs Clara Wilson-Green,
“We arrived a little early and were met by Steve the owner who informed us cleaning was still occurring but invited us into his home , where he gave us a drink and chatted about the local area explaining what was on and how to get about.”

He made us feel like we were visiting family not hiring his cottage. Once ready he showed us into the cottage and explained how to use the heating etc. he told us if we wanted fresh veg from his planters or greenhouse to help ourselves and would drop some fresh eggs in from his hens later , which he did. This cottage is in the countryside and so relaxing as you only hear the sounds of the great outdoors and no traffic sounds. Steve is an excellent host/ landlord as he is friendly , unassuming and down to earth. Stayed August 2015

- Mrs Denise Spence,
“The cottage was everything that we had hoped for.”

It was well equipped and presented, and the owners made us very welcome. It was ideal for Bridport, Lyme Regis, and other Dorset resorts. We would certainly come back again, and have no hesitation in recommending the cottage! Stayed September 2015

- Mrs Maureen Joinson,
“No problems.”

Beautiful weather made the holiday. Stayed September 2015

- Mrs Place,
“Most enjoyable and relaxed holiday in pleasant surroundings with considerate owners on hand to help and resolve any issues if necessary.”

We will certainly try to re-visit at a later date. Stayed October 2015

- Mr Cox,
“Great service received from Dreams and the owners.”

Very clean and well-kept property. Great location, great for taking the dog. Not many that we'd be happy to return to but this one we would. Thank you. Stayed March 2016

- Mrs Sara Russell,
“Excellent property with everything that you could want for a relaxing holiday.”

Stayed April 2016

- Mrs Clara Wilson-Green,
“Grazeland is a truly "home from home" cottage; we love our yearly visit.”

I have already booked for next year!! Stayed May 2016

- Mrs Neale,
“Absolutely perfect place to stay.”

Hosts were on hand should any question relating to the area/restaurants be sought but were never intrusive. Very quiet house with delightful garden full of wildlife and excellent suitable chairs for more elderly persons to enjoy the wonderful conservatory, a delight even on the drizzly moments. The house was very well equipped with everything all in very good order. Decoration, information and facilities within the property were fully as described. A very homely vacation stay, would have no hesitation recommending or re-visiting in future - stayed June 2016

- Mrs Marian Winterton,
“Third time we have stayed at Grazeland and as usual the cottage was clean and very comfortable.”

Steve and Christine were friendly and couldn't have been more accommodating. Hope to revisit soon - stayed September 2016

- Mr John Yarker,
“Whilst Grazeland Cottage was not our first choice, it far exceeded our expectations and we were glad that we hadn't been able to have the apartment in Bridport (to sleep 2) that we had originally booked.”

The cottage was amazing. Extremely spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. I have never before stayed in accommodation where the kitchen boasts 4 measuring jugs! All the appliances were top quality and immaculately clean. The owners next door couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. The location was superb, very peaceful and very dog friendly. My daughter and partner and their dog joined us mid-week and their spaniel was happy to sleep in the back lobby, connected to the kitchen by a stable door - most useful. I strongly recommend Grazeland Cottage as a lovely place to stay in Dorset. Stayed July 2016

- Mrs Julie Stansfield,
“Grazeland is a spacious well appointed cottage with an extensively equipped kitchen.”

The owners are very friendly and live attached. For dog owners the wide tiled floor in the hall, which runs from the front door to the back door, is excellent for getting wet dogs in and out. The owners field is also extremely useful for the early morning / late night dog walk. For those times when you wish to relax in the cottage the conservatory is just the place to be. We will definitely stay here again - stayed October 2016

- Dr Annette Lewis,
“The cottage was very clean, comfortable and warm.”

It was very well equipped and the owners were very helpful - stayed October 2016

- Mrs Rosemary Dearden,
“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Grazeland.”

Our hosts couldn't have been more welcoming (including Grace the dog!). Fabulous setting, excellent position to access coast, very clean and comfy accommodation. Highly recommended Stayed April 2017

- Mrs Kim Adams,
“We have just returned from a lovely week spent at Grazeland cottage the 2nd time we have visited.”

The cottage is very well equipped and furnished, decorated to a high standard throughout. It is set in very well maintained gardens and an enclosed fenced patio area at the rear of the property with a gate leading to a large field ideal for walking the dog, our Greyhound loved it. At the front of the property is a spacious conservatory ideal for relaxing in and watching the wildlife in the evening. We were met on arrival by Steve who welcomed us and is very friendly and informative. A lovely surprise was milk in the fridge and cakes also Steve treated us to fresh eggs from his chickens along with sausages and bacon! The cottage is only a couple of miles away from Bridport which is a lovely market town with many independent shops, good pubs and cafes many are dog friendly which was great. Only a short drive to the coastal villages and only slightly further to The Donkey Sanctuary at Sidmouth which is a lovely day out. We had a lovely stay and our greyhound enjoyed it too. We are already planning our third visit hopefully later this year - stayed June 2017

The property

Grazeland Cottage is an original farmhouse dating back to 1868 that has been sympathetically converted to provide a completely self-contained holiday cottage. The annex is next to the owner's home and comfort and privacy are a priority with this property being ideal for all ages. Apart from a small step up into one of the bedrooms, it is all on ground floor level.

The kitchen overlooks the large rear patio area and the attached 6 acre paddock with rising fields ahead; whilst the lounge/diner leads to an inviting south facing conservatory overlooking the large, lawned front garden and the rolling hills beyond.

Enjoy a nice cup of tea whilst admiring the green hills of Dorset. Surrounded by the glorious Dorset countryside, it is perfect for walkers.

With the nearest beach which forms part of the famous Jurassic coast is only a carefree drive of approx. 5 miles away.

The Shave Cross pub, around 2 miles away, is acclaimed locally.

Bridport with its weekly market and interesting mix of high street and old curiosity shops is worth a visit being a short drive away.

Grazeland Cottage is well placed for reaching Dorset's tourist attractions or alternatively it provides a haven if you prefer to simply enjoy viewing the calm of the countryside from the comfort of your arm chair.

This property is perfect for a romantic retreat but offering time to explore the rolling hills of the countryside.

Guests have use of a small enclosed yard to exercise their pet and are welcome to use the rest of the gardens and field where the owners' dog, cats and chickens roam freely.

About the location

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.

NOTE: Garden with covered pond. NOTE: The annex is next to owners’ home. NOTE: Guests are requested not to leave their pet unattended within the property.
