“Such a beautiful, well equipped cottage in the most spectacular location.”

Hive beach was only a quick walk away and so many other fab beaches and towns in short driving distance. We had the best week!

“The house is well equipped and comfortable and with great views.”

We did dub it 'the Narrow House' as it is built on a narrow sloping plot and doors and staircases are correspondingly narrow and the lay-out, with two staircases, is quirky. But you could say it all adds to the charm.

Mr Fellows September 2020

“Very large property.”

Appreciated text from owner telling us property was ready for us. Felt confident adequate cleaning had taken place regarding covid risks. Everything looked very new. As in many rental properties, easy access to sockets for bedside phone charging could be easier. Took a long time to find keys for French window and front door but then felt silly that had not noticed the key hooks under the stairs. Automatic lights were good. Overall very pleased with our choice of property. Thank you.

Mrs Westcott July 2020

“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.

Mr Brooks July 2020

“Great house for exploring the Jurassic Coast.”

- Mr Brooks, July 2020
Mrs Connolly February 2020

“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.

- Mrs Connolly, February 2020
Mr Parsons August 2019

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

Ideal accommodation for a three generation holiday.

- Mr Parsons, August 2019
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.

Mrs Connolly February 2019

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

Superbly equipped with everything you could possibly need. We will be back!

“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”

- Mr Johnson, October 2018
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.

- Ms Wade, September 2018
Mrs England August 2018

“We had a restful holiday in Overland, with plenty of room both indoors and outside.”

The kitchen was well equipped so we didn't have to eat out all the time. The house was a real haven after a day on the beach or a long walk along the coast.

- Mrs England, August 2018
Mr Oliver July 2018

“Lovely cottage to stay in and very clean.”

Owners are friendly and helpful with local knowledge

- Mr Oliver, July 2018
Mrs Little July 2018

“Was an ideal spacious house for our family with ages ranging from one to seventy two.”

Accomodation, facilities, garden, equpment were all superb. The owners seemed to have thought of every eventuality. The only slight negative was that we had the impression that we would be very close / walking distance to pubs & the shop in Burton Bradstock. We felt walking there would have been a bit dangerous, especially with babies in buggies, due to the narrow winding nature of the road & the lack of any kind of pavement, so we felt we always needed a car & tended to go into nearby Bridport. We had a lovely week at Overland & would definitely recommend it to others

- Mrs Little, July 2018
Mrs Milne Home May 2018

“Overland was the perfect base for a holiday.”

The beach at Burton Bradstock is just over a mile away and it’s only a short drive to Bridport, West Bay and Lyme Regis. The cottage was lovely- spotlessly clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Perfect for a large family.

- Mrs Milne Home, May 2018
Mrs Smith May 2018

“We really enjoyed our holiday and the property was excellent, our two 90 year old mums enjoyed it too.”

- Mrs Smith, May 2018
Mrs Hayes May 2018

Lots of users friendly facilities. Would certainly go again.

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.

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.
