    “- [ ] On arriving at the property, we searched for dog enclosed garden.”

    Only To find, it was across another property, the owner who had a nervous dog was very helpful, but no grass on aforementioned garden. Fortunately, a hundred yards away, across the river are fields. We did not use the garden. We were surprised to be instructed not to overuse the dishwasher, to be ECO friendly.

    Only To find, it was across another property, the owner who had a nervous dog was very helpful, but no grass on aforementioned garden. Fortunately, a hundred yards away, across the river are fields. We did not use the garden. We were surprised to be instructed not to overuse the dishwasher, to be ECO friendly. This missive was quite bizarre, given the minuscule washing up liquid provided, one J cloth, one tea towel. I have visited many Airbnbs with my dog, and never encountered such parsimonious behaviour. I do not mind bringing coffee, tea, sugar, bread, milk, but have never thought to include fairy liquid, tea towels, kitchen rolls and J cloths.

    The property details clearly state that the enclosed River Cottage garden is easily accessed through the courtyard. The photos clearly show that the garden is paved and gravelled not grassed. Of course there is no objection to regular use of the dishwasher, it is just advisable to be aware of ECO issues for obvious reasons. Tea, coffee, milk sachets, biscuits, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets and cleaning cloths are part of the complimentary package which you should have received. Property Owner

The property

A delightful three bedroom thatched cottage in the pretty coastal village of Burton Bradstock.

River Cottage has an enclosed garden (accessed via a shared courtyard and is approximately 15 -20 metres to the rear of the property).

Off road parking for two cars and pets are welcome.

The property is filled with character, the sitting room is the perfect place to spend a winter evening snuggled up with a book and a glass of wine.

The cottage garden has a magical feel that will invite you to explore or just spend time sitting enjoying the fresh air.

Just a short stroll away is Hive Beach and here you can taste local produce at the Hive Beach café that overlooks the pebbled beach.

There is also a shop and two pubs that offer good food.

A few miles away is the pretty harbour of West Bay, why not enjoy good old fashioned seaside fare of fish and chips whilst sitting by the harbour?

Also, why not travel to the market town of Bridport which has many good shops and also a weekly market.

Situated on the main road through the village, the access to the property is via the back door of the Cottage.

The village location of Burton Bradstock and the beautiful thatched River Cottage is the perfect place to spend a magical holiday.
