“This cottage is undeniably quaint, full of charm and character, I think only suitable for a couple, the stairs may be difficult for a child, there are stone steps up to the courtyard area too.”

Not overly generous with loo rolls or kitchen rolls so take some with you. Great little shop with local goods as well as the usual essentials. Excellent pubs literally at either side of the cottage, the Three House shoes was our favourite. Pity about the road as the traffic is almost constant, it being the coast road from Bridport all the way to Portland, lots of motor bikes going through. A lovely drive it is as well. We had a great holiday, will go back to the area again.

“Had a lovely stay in this sweet little cottage.”

Everything was very comfortable and clean - would def stay again. We would have found a little more local information useful - walks etc unless we missed it? Shame there are no recycling facilities.

“This cottage is in a great location, 2 great pubs serving excellent food at reasonable prices within 50 yds, there is a bit of traffic noise during rush hours due to its closeness to the main road however this did not affect us as we went out during the daytime.”

The cottage is probably a bit small for more than 2 people, the second bedroom leads directly off the first one. The stairs are a bit steep and have thin steps , this may be a problem for elderly or persons of restricted mobility. The cottage was spotlessly clean and was very well equipped, I would recommend it. It is not cheap but the area commands good prices for the renters.

“The stairs are steep.”

My partner had trouble As he has a bad back. If you describe this in the advert I didn’t see that. The hot water was not turned but i read the manual to work that out. Otherwise the whole experience was amazing! Loved it all thank you.

“After reading some reviews I was worried about the cleanliness and condition of the cottage.”

On arrival I was pleasantly surprised as everything was absolutely fine. The location of the cottage is perfect for walking and there are two very good pubs a few minutes walk in each direction. The village also has a shop. Perfect!

“You can tell from the visitors book that traffic noise is an issue.”

The cottage is at a pinch point so that traffic constantly queues immediately in front of the kitchen window and right beside the outdoor patio area.

Mrs Daglish September 2020

“An absolutely beautiful little cottage in a gorgeous village.”

Well positioned for exploring the Dorset coast. Spotlessly clean and with everything you might need. The only slight downside is parking which you have to look for on the street - not always easy as the village can get really quite busy. That said, we did always manage to find a space, just don’t expect parking right outside the door. I would certainly return.

“Lovely small cottage, just perfect for myself and my two daughters.”

All facilities as described and perfect location for the beach, Burton Bradstock, Abbotsbury and Bridport. This is the second time we have booked with Dream Cottages and we will do so again as their properties are all of a very high quality. Stayed April 2017

“The cottage was absolutely beautiful.”

The cosy living room had everything I needed. The kitchen provided much to make the stay relaxing. I loved the bedrooms and the bathroom was spacious. The addition of the back terrace allowed me time to sit in the Dorset sun with a glass of wine. I highly recommend Dormouse Cottage. Stayed May 2016

“The cottage was spotlessly clean, sweet and cosy, in an excellent location.”

We had everything we needed and the beautiful walks were amazing and loved by our Springer Spaniel. The walk to the beach was 11 minutes over the cliff top where there was a lovely restaurant / cafe. The pubs in the village were great and friendly with lovely food. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Dream Cottages provided an excellent service and everything was as they said it would be. They are even returning a pair of boots that I left in the cottage by mistake. Highly recommended all round. Stayed March 2016
