“The only disappointing aspect of the cottage was that the garden is not completely secure for an active and inquisitive dog of medium size or above.”

This meant that I had to keep my dog on the lead at all times if I wanted to sit outside, which was not what I had expected. This could be easily rectified by covering the low gap in the fence on the right hand side just above the patio, and by removing the compost heap from against the wall at the top right of the garden which my dog immediately climbed to get on top of the wall! The gardener came to cut the grass while I was there and I pointed this out to her for the sake of future guests ...

The gardener came to cut the grass while I was there and I pointed this out to her for the sake of future guests. She said she intended to replace the compost heap with bins in due course, and would mention the low fence so that the gap can be fixed. In the meantime I think this should be pointed out to people with dogs who are booking Appletree Cottage as the description says it is 'an enclosed garden'.

“The bath taps are very difficult to turn off and the shower control doesn’t work.”

I had th turn off the bath taps using a towel. The shower was very hot and I couldn’t add cold water. They really need looking at. We loved the cottage though and would book again. Great spot and very cosy.

Mr Simmonds April 2021

“We had a lovely stay in this pretty cottage.”

It was so warm and cosy and in a perfect location - only minutes fom the beach and food al fresco at the Anchor Inn. We had perfect weather to enjoy the pretty garden and the kitchen had everything we needed. Communication regarding Covid policy was good and the cottage was clean and comfortable. Burton Bradstock is a perfect spot for exploring the Jurassic Coast. Thank you.

“Superb walks along the beach and surrounding area.”

Stairs in the cottage are not for the faint hearted - if you’re unsteady on your feet then this cottage is not for you. Paper delivery to next-door shop at 5.00 am could disturb light sleepers. Tap-dancing creatures in the roof space are a reminder of life in the countryside. We loved it!

“Lovely location, cottage was very quirky but clean and comfortable.”

Mr Cook August 2020

“Excellent cottage accommodation perfect for a family holiday.”

Perfect location next to country pub and shop with beach only 10 minutes walk. Will hopefully returning in the not to distant future.

Mrs Deluca July 2020

“We had a wonderful time in the cottage, a perfect spot to visit many lovely places.”

The garden and short walk across the fields to the beach is a real bonus if you have dogs. The cottage had everything you could wish for and we found it all very convenient and pleasant.

“Delightful cottage.”

Felt more like a home than a holiday let. Comfortable and spacious. Ideally situated within walking distance of a lovely beach and next door but one to a great pub with excellent food. Stayed July 2018

Mrs Artlett Jan 2018

“The cottage was perfect for our Christmas stay with dogs.”

On arrival it felt cosy & warm and was festively welcoming with the Christmas tree, mince pies and prosecco - Thankyou. The enclosed garden was a real bonus and the entry into the stone floor of the kitchen was a great buffer area to keep the lounge free of wet dogs. The location was excellent with easy access to the beach and stunning walks on the coastal path. Both pubs in the village were human & dog friendly and served great food. We will be back! Stayed December 2017

Mr Adrian Shefford Sep 2017

“Great compact cottage for our family of 4 with 2 teenagers, right in the centre of the village, and only 10 minute walk to hive beach.”

Everything we needed for our short break over the lovely bank holiday weekend. Stayed August 2017.

“Although we have stayed in Burton Bradstock many times in the past this was our first stay at Apple Tree Cottage.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this lovely cottage. From the initial booking to the end of our holiday everything was smooth and efficient. We will definitely book future holidays with Dream Cottages. Stayed April 2016

Mrs Roisin Kirby Apr 2016

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Apple Tree Cottage.”

It's a beautiful thatched cottage next door to the village post office and a stone's throw from the Three Horseshoes pub which does great food and is dog friendly! The cottage is well equipped and cosy with a lovely little garden and patio. It's a short walk to the beach and the West Bay Cafe, and a great spot to travel further afield along the coastal path. We would heartily recommend! Stayed April 2016

The property

A chocolate box cottage complete with roses around the door, Apple Tree Cottage is in the heart of Burton Bradstock next to the post office.

This quaint village is made up of cute thatched cottages, twisting country lanes, pretty gardens and a picturesque river.

With it’s cosy sitting room/study with a log effect gas fire and kitchen breakfast room that leads into the cottage garden you can be assured of the full cottage experience.

The village has a shop and choice of two pubs each serving good food and ales and the village tea rooms are there for morning coffee or afternoon tea.

The beach is an easy walk from the cottage and has wonderful cliff views, access to the South West coast path and a highly commended beach cafe called 'The Hive' which serves a variety of local food and drinks.

An outing to West Bay, which is approximately three miles away, gives you a chance to explore the colourful fishing harbour and to sample locally caught crabs and lobsters as well as local ice cream.

Haddon House is often recommended for Sunday lunch.

The Market Town of Bridport with it’s famous antiques market is just 4 miles drive away and worth a visit.

If you dream of finding fossil’s then the beautiful Charmouth beach is a short drive to the west from Apple Tree cottage.
