“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.

“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.”

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.

“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.
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.
Mr Oliver July 2018

“Lovely cottage to stay in and very clean.”

Owners are friendly and helpful with local knowledge
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 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 Smith May 2018

“We really enjoyed our holiday and the property was excellent, our two 90 year old mums enjoyed it too.”
Mrs Hayes May 2018
