“Perfect family holiday home.”

Plenty of room for our family group of seven adults and a toddler. Large travel cot, high chair and stair gates provided and plenty of kitchen equipment. Good quality bedding and towels. Will definitely return.

“Great house for exploring the Jurassic Coast.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our second holiday at Overland - just one point we would like to suggest is a larger fridge in the kitchen!”

For a party of 10 holidaymakers the present fridge is rather small.
Mr Parsons August 2019

“A spacious and well equipped property in a beautiful location.”

Ideal accommodation for a three generation holiday.
Mr Richards July 2019

“Overall we liked the property but there were a few things that we felt would make it more comfortable for visitors.”

As a family group we felt that the fridge freezer was too small. Also there were not enough seats for everyone to sit in comfort in the lounge although there was plenty of space for them. I am aware that people like differing types of bed but all of the adults in our group felt the mattresses were too hard. As there was only the en-suite bathroom up one staircase it really does need to be a close family group to use these rooms. The house was light and spacious with a decent garden, a lovely dining area and kitchen (though a bit more work surface & cupboard space would have been a bonus), and a nice lounge with pleasant balcony. I would say it is quite a noisy house with hard flooring throughout the upstairs, staircases and passages and stable type door latches which cannot be opened quietly. A few rugs upstairs or carpeted staircases would reduce the noise. We were impressed that the owners had properly implemented local recycling facilities and proper containers were provided. The house is in a lovely village with plenty of places to visit locally

“We really enjoyed our holiday.”

Very well equipped cottage in great location. Good for a group, walking holiday. Lots of lovely walks from the door. Two nice pubs to walk to, both serve great food.
Mrs Lees May 2019

“Overland is lovely and matched our needs superbly.”

There was plenty of space for our party of 10, which included 2 children under three years. The kitchen was very well equipped and enabled us to cater for meals easily. The garden is lovely and allowed the children to let off steam safely. Maybe another couple of chairs in the sitting room would be a nice idea. The countryside and coastline is absolutely stunning. Thank you.

“What an amazing house in a beautiful area, for a large family gathering.”

“Perfect place for a comfortable family gathering”

At short notice, we booked Overlander to share a family Christmas and celebrate my dad’s 80th birthday. Was a fantastic find this was. Comfortable and spacious accommodation with a really well equipped kitchen. We’d brought a couple of kitchen items from home and were easily able to create Christmas lunch for 9 in the kitchen. For such a big meal, we could have done with a bit more work surface, but with the table nearby, we managed. For ‘normal’ self-catering, there is enough surface. The rooms were well furnished and the beds were comfortable. The table was a fabulous size and it was lovely to have everyone together to eat. When we all headed to the spacious sitting room, it was a bit snug on the sofas but as there was usually someone flopped on the floor or doing something else, it wasn’t a huge problem. The owners were really welcoming and there were Christmas decorations up, including a real tree and festive tableware. Despite my dad walking with a stick, and there not being any pavements in such a lovely rural village, we walked to the pub and back. Some of us went for a run from the place and it wasn’t far to get on the coastal path to enjoy some off-road terrain. It didn’t take long to walk down to the cost at Hive Beach and go for a stroll along there. Having pubs, a garage, convenience stores and post office all nearby make this a perfect place to stay. You feel you’ve got away from everything as you admire the fabulous views from the windows but if you do need any supplies, you don’t have far to go. We loved it!

“Absolutely loved Overland.”

Loads of space for all the family but cosy too. Local pub just down the end of the road and the owners left some Christmas treats. Lovely touch.
Mr Johnson October 2018

“Great place to stay and everything was available in the house would go there again Thank your hosts”
Ms Wade September 2018

“We had a wonderful family holiday in this well equipped and very comfortable house.”

There was a lot of room for the 9 of us and the children loved the garden.

The property

Combining traditional charm with contemporary wonder, Overland is a grand property, perfect for a family retreat to the coast of Dorset.

Positioned within the Dorset AONB and in close reach of the beach, the dwelling is ideally situated for exploring all of the excitement that this area of England has to offer.

Begin your unwinding experience in the sitting room, where the electric fire takes centre stage in the inglenook surrounded by plush seating, making this room the ideal spot to end your days in between rambling or wave-riding.

The amply-equipped kitchen/diner of the property boasts equal charm; a long and spacious room with exposed brick walls and beams offering a traditional quirk to the abode.

Enjoy your meals together around the dining table one step up from the kitchen, with Velux windows letting in an abundance of light, making it the perfect space to spend quality time with your loved ones, with every outdoor weather providing a delightful backdrop to your dining experience.

As you tire, retreat to one of the five bedrooms to catch up on your rest, offering a ground-floor double, a king-size boasting its own en-suite shower room, two further doubles and a single, the property provides everyone a charming spot to rest their head at the end of an action-packed day.

The dwelling also benefits from its own lawned area, where you can choose to toast to a wonderful holiday alfresco style over all your family-favourite meals, or simply enjoy the tranquillity of your surroundings with your morning cup of tea in hand.

The local village of Burton Bradstock is fairly remote and quiet, making it a great base for those seeking a tranquil escape.

For a day out full of vibrant excitement, head into the centre of Bridport with its wide array of attractions varying from restaurants and bars to cultural wonders in its museum and theatre.

Spend a day on the sandy beaches perfecting your sandcastle building skills, or explore the delights of the Jurassic Coast for a day out to remember.

With the village being one of the main gateways to the South West Coastal path and Jurassic Coast World Heritage site, you’re sure to be surrounded by wonder at any time of year whilst holidaying in Overland.
