“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Middle Farm Annex – it was perfect for our requirements.”

We needed accommodations on one level suitable for our elderly parents (90th Birthday). The Annex is just that and was immaculately clean and so comfortable. We were welcomed with cake, milk and tea – just what we needed after a long car journey, it was a chilly time of year and the heating was on for our arrival and plenty of wood for the stove. We needed help with a plumbing issue, and it was dealt with very promptly. The grounds are beautiful and very conveniently close to the Jurassic ...

Mr R.a. October 2024

“This is holiday accommodation of a very high standard, and more than worthy of Sykes 5 star rating.”

Very spacious rooms and furnished to a high standard, very comfy beds. The rural location provides a warm and inviting backdrop and the no hassel free parking is a welcome bonus. The welcome pack was a well recieved. Overall we had a lovely time and would happily recommend, excellent communication from the owner; only one minor niggle though, more matching cutlery required.

“Lovely cottage very warm and comfortable had everything we needed, well situated for local attractions and walks.”

Gill September 2024

“Excellent property!”

Clean, quiet and very comfortable. Beds and bed linen comfortable and cosy. Well equipped, although a few more mugs would have been useful. Annex situated in lovely countryside and very convenient for exploring and walking. Very much enjoyed our stay there.

- Gill, September 2024
Maureen September 2024

“A lovely property set in stunning grounds in a beautiful area of West Dorset.”

We appreciated the spacious accommodation, quality furnishings and facilities. Property cleaned to a high standard and there was a generous welcome basket of local produce on arrival. Directions to property and communication with owner excellent. Thank you Alasdair.

“We had a fabulous stay at Middle Farm.”

The property and gardens are absolutely stunning in every respect. We did not want to leave and will definitely return.

Jean July 2024

“Our second time staying at the Annex, we loved it!”

Very comfortable it really doesn’t matter about the weather! Shame we didn’t get to use the beautiful garden this time as early July wasn’t kind to us with the weather but we managed to still get out and about. Beautiful detail with the home furnishings, good quality towels and bedding and we were greeted with Dorset Tea and a selection of cakes

- Jean, July 2024
Peter June 2024

“Spent very pleasant week in lovely area.”

Immediate area is quiet and rural with lots of interesting features. Accommodation is of high quality throughout, and has been supplied with everything of very high quality and style. Whole farm site impressive and very well maintained. Outstanding.

“Excellent place to stay- beautiful cottage and gardens and well placed for many sites to visit.”

Would recommend it highly

- Graham, June 2024
Gillian June 2024

“Lovely comfortable property with an exceptionally beautiful garden.”

Loved the bedrooms at either end, as my friend and I could disappear off each to our own end of the property for a quiet end to a lovely day together exploring and walking the local countryside. Plenty to do and see locally without travelling miles. No complaints, just a suggestion to help….2 keys would have made opening the front door and the patio door a little easier.

- Gillian, June 2024
Penny May 2024

“Beautiful holiday cottage with an amazing garden to enjoy.”

The photos don’t do it justice. Nothing in the village so you just have to remember to get things in advance. Very comfortable with everything you needed. We knew beforehand that some people had commented on how close the owners house was but it really wasn’t a problem for us. If you want a bit of tranquility on your holiday then this will suit you.

- Penny, May 2024

William April 2024

“This property is absolutely stunning, everything has been thought through for the comfort of the holiday maker.”

The welcome pack a perfect touch to ensure we started our holiday in the right manner. We had a couple of tiny issues which the owner sorted with 2 hours who could ask for more. Would definitely rent this property again. 5 star ⭐️

- William, April 2024
Susan April 2024

“The cottage is exactly as described.”

It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, well equipped and felt like home the moment you walked through the door. Apart from a few light bulbs deciding that it was time to give up, we had no problems. The showers are amazing and beds comfortable. The cottage is in the most glorious spot , we loved going in and out through Little Bredy. Very convenient as a base to see Dorset. We had originally planned to visit before COVID, and we all agreed it was worth the wait. I could happily live there!

- Susan, April 2024
David March 2024

“Very relaxing and enjoyable stay”

- David, March 2024
Nick March 2024

“We enjoyed our stay in this beautifully appointed property and would recommend it.”

The great attraction for us was that everything inside is on the flat, there being no steps, stairs or thresholds to worry about. We have made booking through Sykes Cottages before and will certainly do so again. They are very efficient and helpful.

David December 2023

“Mixed feelings about this property beautiful garden setting lovely anex but not maintained well, the shower is the best we have been in,the anex was very clean, but the light switches are a joke some do nothing some work sometimes some I have no idea what they do.”

The heating packed up 2 days before the end of our holiday and though we had a log burner the bedroom and bathroom were freezing. The owner never even sent us an email apology for this.It was still not working when we left.His gardener did try to help but could do nothing. From other feedback this heating problem is not rare.

- David, December 2023

The annex is very well maintained and it is in excellent condition, as noted in almost all reviews over the last year The heating system did not “pack up”. During this particular visit, once the customer told me that there was a problem with the heating, I immediately called a heating engineer and we discovered a problem with the control system for the heating system that involved the replacement of an electronic component in the main control board. The faulty component had to be ordered. Unfortunately it could not be sourced within 2 days, but it was fitted as soon as it arrived and the heating system is now working perfectly. There is no issue with the light switches that I am aware of. It is true that the annex uses electronic switches rather than traditional physical switches and some customers initially find this unusual by comparison with their own homes. That being said, the annex has been fully electrically tested and all electrical components are fully operational. Nonetheless, I will check the switches personally to conform this is the case. May I suggest that anybody reading this customer feedback looks at the very long list of excellent reviews (100/100) rather than one of the very few that highlights issues which were resolved as soon as it was practically possible to do so.

Gary November 2023

“One of the best cottages we have stayed in, cosy with the log burner and a good supply of logs.”

It was well equipped and comfortable beds. Overall we had and excellent week with our friends walking even with a covering of snow. The cakes and biscuits were a nice touch. We had a couple of blips with the power going off and the hot water stopping but a phone call to the owner sorted it quickly.

- Gary, November 2023
Jillian October 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay at Middle Farm Annexe.”

We found it well equipped and spotlessly clean. The accommodation was very spacious with a lovely patio area overlooking the garden. Set in a very picturesque location and within easy reach of the coast, we found it ideal for our short stay. We also appreciated the welcome tea and cakes on our arrival. Thank you very much. Jill Phillips

Trevor September 2023

“A very well appointed annex in a great location for exploring Dorset.”

Contact with the owner was excellent and joining information accurate and useful. This is one of the best annexes that it has been our pleasure to stay in.

- Trevor, September 2023
Paula September 2023

“Gorgeous property finished to an exceptional standard in beautiful surroundings.”

Real home from home. Welcome food gifts were very thoughtful. Everything you could possibly need catered for. Would happily come back. Overall fabulous stay.

Debbie August 2023

“Wow, what can I say, I want to live there!”

We did not want to go home, absolutely beautiful property, amazing gardens. Felt so at home, and relaxed in the annex it was so very peaceful. Property had everything we could have needed, just so lovely. We will definitely book to stay again. Thank you

Rapidly becoming our home from home.

Bethan July 2023

“We had a fantastic stay at Middle Farm Annexe.”

It is a charming property and was perfect for our needs. The welcome pack was much appreciated after a very long drive! The property itself is comfortable and the kitchen covered all the essentials. The bathrooms were also clean and luxurious - the children loved the bath tub in particular! The garden is spectacular and worth the price alone. My children (3 & 6) spent hours playing and exploring: The location is beautiful and rural which was exactly what we wanted but be aware that the roads are typical country roads with some tight bends and narrow points. This was an education for my husband who is used to city driving. The property is in easy driving distance from Lyme Regis in one direction and Weymouth in the other. We travelled as far as Corfe Castle and Swanage in around 45 minutes. We highly recommend this lovely cottage and are planning on booking again for next summer.

- Bethan, July 2023
Jean July 2023

“An absolutely amazing place to stay in, we had a fabulous time and the Annex is tastefully decorated, every room was gorgeous, the furnishings were first class!”

a lot of thought had gone into the Annex. The gardens were a delight to walk around well maintained and there was an orchard and a kitchen garden as well. We will definitely rebook we loved it. Lorraine

The property was easy to find from the directions given There was a generous welcome pack on arrival The situation was great and the house was lovely, very roomy and comfortable The fittings and furniture were of a very high quality and the underfloor heating was very effective We had a very pleasant stay and would highly recommend it

Janet March 2023

“Beautiful barn conversion.”

Spacious and excellently furnished. Very comfortable beds, great showers and a well equipped kitchen. Although the weather was cold and rainy the barn was lovely and warm especially with the log burner in the evening when relaxing after visiting the many lovely places within easy reach. Awaiting us on arrival was a very generous welcome hamper, loved the Apple Cake and Dorset Tea! We highly recommend the Annex for a superb stay.

- Janet, March 2023
Ian March 2023

“It is lovely cottage, well stocked with everything you are likely to need on a holiday and would recommend it for an enjoyable and relaxing break.”

Owners are very helpful.

“We will definitely be back .”

. some of the lamps didn’t work… and a vacuum cleaner would be useful … many thanks

- Julie, February 2023
Richard December 2022

“This is an excellent property to stay at, it is comfortable, clean, with everything you could require.”

The location is, it is very easy to travel the area from the property. Two down points I wish to share though, the weather did turn very cold during our stay, and the underfloor heating did not provide a comfortable temperature, but there is a log burner which was a lifesaver. The second point was that the internet dropped off about 36 hours before the end of our stay, and did not reconnect before we left. But overall we enjoyed our stay, and would definitely recommend to others, and consider this property if visiting the area again.

- Richard, December 2022
Kim October 2022

“A beautiful setting in a comfortable home from home.”

. Would highly recommend to anyone. Central to lots of lovely places.

- Kim, October 2022
Steve October 2022

“The Annex was delightful and with the gardens setting a beautifully peaceful and refreshing environment, it was a joy to stay there.”

- Steve, October 2022
Ian October 2022

“Fantastic small barn conversion, perfect for a small family, in a very quiet and beautiful rural location.”

If you want to see the Dorset countryside and coast, then this is an excellent location, close to Dorchester, Weymouth and Bridport and all the lovely smaller villages. Great welcome pack and lovely gardens to make it even better.

- Ian, October 2022
Ian October 2022

“Very comfortable property, although a little isolated.”

The facilities and furnishings were of a very high standard. The garden is beautiful. The village location is pretty. The towns of Bridport and Dorchester are within a 15 minute drive. Weymouth and Lyme Regis are 30 minutes by car.

- Ian, October 2022
Susan September 2022

“Middle Farm Annex was an exceptional experience.”

The location and the accommodation was gorgeous. The gardens where magnificent and on visiting Mapperton Gardens the gardens although not on the same scale the gardens and plantings at Middle Farm certainly outdid Mapperton. Will hope to return in 2023. Sue Cooper

- Susan, September 2022
Colleen Marie August 2022

“Lovely barn with some very nice features.”

Very overlooked from the main house and window blind in toilet and bathroom needed to be closed most of the time. Toggle switches were a nightmare and one of the velux windows didn't work. Shortage of glasses and no champagne flutes (a must when on holiday). Lengthy list of do's and don'ts and a 09.00am departure (and we had to strip all beds) was so very early and not being able to leave dishes in the dishwasher was a big ask.

- Colleen Marie, August 2022
Andrew July 2022

“We really enjoyed coming back at the end of each day to this excellent barn - which was peaceful spacious and provided everything that we needed and more in terms of privacy and relaxation.”

We were able to ring the owner as, due to the hot weather, we needed a parasol which was provided. What could be improved? - well perhaps some cushions for the seating outside.

- Andrew, July 2022
Ruth June 2022

“Really enjoyed our holiday in The Annex.”

The property was spacious and comfortable and it was obvious the design was well thought out. The pebble flooring in the generously proportioned en-suite shower reminded us we were near the sea! We were amused by the numerous toggle light switches - got the hang of these by the time we left! The location was great for visiting lots of interesting places - The Water Gardens near Dorchester were amazing with cream tea scones to die for! Abbotsbury Sub-Tropical Gardens, The Swannery and Athlehampton House and Gardens should not be missed. Durdle Door is beautiful if you can manage the steps down to the beach. So many other places to see - we had 2 weeks and so will return to the area hopefully to go to the places we didn't have time to visit. I only have one negative comment - we have used many holiday properties over the year and have always appreciated the welcome - often a homemade cake or some local fare. The welcome at the Annex was just a few teabags in a Tupperware pot - a bit 'underwhelming'. Even a shop bought Dorset Apple Cake would have been nice.

- Ruth, June 2022
David June 2022

“A beautiful place to stay, the gardens and outside space was stunning.”

Just a few minor things that would have enhanced our stay: More crockery and cutlery so we will didn't have to wash up/dishwasher between meals. Oven gloves would have been useful Garden parasol for shade to sit under.

- David, June 2022
Heather April 2022

“We had a lovely stay at the annexe of Middle Farm.”

We visited in April and were blessed with fantastic weather. It is situated at the edge of Long Bredy village, surrounded by fields and in close proximity of beaches. Lots of footpaths nearby if you want to a local walk. And there is a lovely lake in Little Bredy a few miles away. The annexe is decorated to a very high standard, and the 2 spacious walk-in showers were a highlight. It was warm and the lovely log-burner is a bonus if needed. The garden was huge and perfect for our 2 young children to run around in. There is also a patio area and table for eating/ drinking outside. The local area was wonderful, and we were not short of things to do - eg Abbotsbury swannery, Hive beach, Lulworth Cove and Charmouth beach. Would love to stay again!

- Heather, April 2022
John April 2022

“The property is very spacious and clean and accurately described, with plenty of garden area available.”

A great location for visiting the sights of Dorset. Nice walks from the property itself. We had a very enjoyable stay.

- John, April 2022
Margaret March 2022

“Middle Farm Annex is a delightful venue, it has been extremely well converted and equipped with high quality furnishings.”

As previous reviews have said it is overlooked by the main house but this is not really a problem except in the loo where frosted glass would make it less disconcerting (it is possible to get frosted stick on panels for windows!). Our real problem was that we did not feel very welcome - a somewhat didactic list of instructions (Do Not visit the main house was one) and a small quantity of tea bags as the only 'welcome' offering was underwhelming. That said the location is ideal and we enjoyed our week.

- Margaret, March 2022
Stephen February 2022

“Beautifully appointed cottage (barn) with very high-spec fittings.”

Was lovely and warm and comfortable. Could do with a foot stool or coffee table in between the sofas - so you can put your feet up!

- Stephen, February 2022
Janet January 2022

“Spotlessly clean very comfortable accommodation.”

For anyone wanting a very quiet away from it all holiday this is the place to stay. Huge garden. There are no shops in the vicinity so take all you need with you. Unlike other barn conversions I've stayed in the owner supplies all the logs you need for the wood burner. Lovely property.

- Janet, January 2022
Daniel December 2021

“Middle Farm Annexe is a beautiful barn conversion set within breathtaking countryside.”

The house is perfectly located within easy reach of many places of interest and a number of the counties' beautiful beaches. The barn has been sympathetically renovated to an extremely high standard, is well equipped and features all the modern conveniences that allow for a comfortable stay for all the family. The rooms are spacious and clean, beautifully decorated (the gigantic shower off the master bedroom is nothing short of impressive!), and we enjoyed nothing more than settling in front of the log burner after a day out exploring. Long Bredy is a picturesque village, perfect for walkers and those who appreciate an off-the-beaten-track setting. Dorchester and Bridport are both a short drive away, providing the opportunity to stock up on provisions, and there are a number of well established local pubs and eateries also a short distance by car. We stayed for the week over (a wet!) Christmas, and enjoyed memorable days out to Lyme Regis, West Bay and Burton Bradstock. The house was a lovely place to come back to each evening and Middle Farm Annexe proved to be a real home-from-home for our family.

- Daniel, December 2021
Helen December 2021

“This is a beautiful barn conversion with good quality fittings and fixtures.”

Lots of cookware - though a larger frying pan would be useful. Good position for travel around Dorset. Really enjoyed our time there and the lovely wood burner! Slight problem with one of the bathrooms but owner sorted it quickly. One side is overlooked but we just pulled the curtains - maybe more awkward to do that in the summer though. But not a deal breaker! A lovely place to stay.

- Helen, December 2021
Stephen December 2021

“The annex is fitted out to a very high standard, excellent woodburner with plenty of wood, everything needed was there.”

Pub 2 miles away, good centre for sea walks and exploring. Owner responds to requests promptly.

- Stephen, December 2021
Mark November 2021

“Fantastic cottage with everything you would need in great condition.”

Lovely location with lots of areas of interest. To prevent any confusion for deliveries of food etc, it may be useful to have a little sign showing where the annex is. The directions from the owner to us was spot on but we had a food delivery and the driver went to the wrong location e.g. left order on doorstep of the farm. Instructions for the cooker would also be useful as knowing which dials heated which section was a challenge at first. Perfect holiday

- Mark, November 2021
Jacqueline October 2021

“I didn’t realise when booking how the annexe would be so overlooked.”

The annexe is in a quadrangle therefore overlooked by the main house, into the main living room and the main bedroom. The smaller bedroom, bathroom/shower rooms were also overlooked. We had to have the blinds down all day in the bathroom and toilet rooms. Having said that the annexe was nice and comfy with everything you would need during the stay. My grandsons loved running around the garden. Very handy place to be as able to visit many areas of the Jurassic coast and not far from Weymouth either.

We loved it.

- Tina, September 2021
Jane August 2021

“This cottage was wonderful, it was very well equipped and we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay.”

It was a fantastic location for exploring the coast, but we enjoyed a few days spent in the cottage and garden too. The garden was beautiful and our children loved having the space to run around and play safely. We had a very relaxing week and were made to feel very welcome, the home grown fruit and vegetables we were given were delicious, thank you! We would love to be able to return next summer.

- Jane, August 2021
Joanne August 2021

“Great location for exploring beaches and sights Amazing gardens and outdoor space, everything you could possibly need.”

- Joanne, August 2021
Matthew July 2021

“Middle Farm Annex was perfect for my family and certainly lived up to its description and our expectations.”

Wonderful setting, quiet and peaceful, easy access to all the attractions, beaches, villages and towns. Not the cheapest, but then again you get what you pay for. We certainly felt it was worth the price. The annex is well fitted out, spacious, and furniture and fittings were of really good quality. Everything is kept clean and tidy. The courtyard area and garden surrounding the Annex is beautiful and it was a joy to return to this wonderful property at the end of each day out.

- Matthew, July 2021
John June 2021

“A luxuriously appointed self contained Annex set in extensive landscaped gardens amidst the rolling hills of rural West Dorset.”

The beautiful scenery, quant Dorset villages and proximity to the sea makes this a real gem. Highly recommended.

- John, June 2021
Honor June 2021

“We knew that the cottage was part of Middle Farm, but didn't realise how overlooked we would feel with French windows facing the owners part of the property in both the main bedroom and living room.”

The hot water arrangements were awkward with us having to remember to turn on the boiler to have any hot water in the evening. There was only the bare minimum of crockery and cutlery meaning we had to run the dishwasher frequently.

- Honor, June 2021
David April 2021

“Great location, perfect for doing nothing or getting out to explore the wonderful countryside, Chesil Beach and more walks you can shake a stick at.”

- David, April 2021
Sue December 2020

“The annexe was very comfortable, finished to a very high standard and warm with the wood burner and an unlimited wood supply.”

Folk were very helpful and it was easy to get to places with the very small village not being that far from the main Dorchester to Bridport road. It was very quiet and a lovely welcoming home to return to after being out and highly recommended.

- Sue, December 2020
Fred October 2020

“Middle farm annex is beautiful couldn't fault a thing everything first class”

- Fred, October 2020
Wai September 2020

“The house is lovely, and the garden, especially, is beautiful.”

The house is tastefully appointed , and the garden (which is an acre in size?) was full of flowers, in bloom even in late September. During Covid season, we did not wish to visit anything indoors. There are 3 gardens nearby which are superb: Kingston Lacey, Mapperton and Abbotsbury. We enjoyed the many beaches nearby, and at Hive Beach Cafe, we could eat in a big tent. The food was very fresh, and it was not exactly indoors. We would have followed the Jurassic Coast walk but did not have time. We would have loved to see Durdle Door, but that was a bit too far. There were only two in our party, so we used one of the bedrooms (and one of the bathrooms) only. The lounge is spacious, and would have been fine for a party of four. We had sole use of the big patio, which lead to the rest of the garden. It was peaceful and secluded, and we had a talk with the gardener.

- Wai, September 2020
Jason September 2020

“Lovely spacious stone L shaped annex.”

Well equipped kitchen with everything we could possibly need. Bed was really comfortable and en-suite shower was wonderful. French doors led out onto a large patio where we sat and ate our meals in seclusion in the sun. Although there was not much in close proximity to the property, the A35 was just up a couple of country lanes so we were easily able to drive to Lullworth Cove, Durdle Door, Weymouth and Lyme Regis plus the vast amount of beaches and country and coastal walks. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

- Jason, September 2020
Lindy September 2020

“I would tell people about Middlefarm Annexe but advise them not to book through any of the Sykes companies during the coronavirus uncertainty.”

They take your money and do not respond to emails or calls. A very poor customer service. We had originally booked in Jan for a May holiday and as we went into lockdown in March they carried on as If all was normal and took our full balance of £ 800.00 even though we were unable to go. As I was not certain we would get our money back we changed our booking to September and did have a good time at the cottage. We did have a few issues with the house which the owner endeavoured to rectify.

- Lindy, September 2020
Ben August 2020

“Middle Farm Annex in Long Bredy is a fantastic cottage in a great setting.”

Great facilities that allowed us to relax when we chose to stay in for the day and also acted as a great base to go on day trips during our week’s stay. Would definitely stay again and happily recommend this as a place to stay.

- Ben, August 2020
Hitesh July 2020

“This is our 2nd stay at the Annexe so that tells you that this is a great place.”

The gardens are absolutely stunning and so too are the views. Its a great location as its just a couple of minutes from the A35 so can get to most places easily. Close by are some lovely places Little Bredy and chesil beach are both lovely. I highly recommend this Annexe its so comfortable and the space especially if you have kids is great.

- Hitesh, July 2020
Lorna December 2019

“What a fabulous holiday home- very comfortable, well equipped, in a beautiful location- all round excellent.”

We stayed for a week over New Year- this really was a home from home. Everything was excellent standard, comfy bed, bath ( important as my husband has a bad back and needs a daily hot bath), lovely log burner and kitchen with all we needed. We will definitely look to stay here again. You do need a torch of an evening to get from your car to the front door- this was provided by the owner- so not an issue.

- Lorna, December 2019
Denise November 2019

“This is an excellent holiday let.”

Lovely space and excellent rooms. There are plenty of logs for lighting the wood burner every day. Unlike most holiday cottages lets, where you only get one basket of logs included and have to pay for more, here there is no extra charge no matter how many you use. The owner is very welcoming and happy to help if needed. I would definitely recommend staying here.

- Denise, November 2019
Michelle October 2019

“Immaculate accommodation, in a peaceful surrounding village and perfect location for amazing walks.”

The owner was very helpful and recommended some great places to eat and local areas to visit, which were all outstanding. Will definitely be returning. We visited Lyme Regis, West Bay, Abbotsbury, Lulworth cove and Durdle Door, Charmouth, Seatown and Portland Bill.

- Michelle, October 2019
Colin September 2019

“This property has been converted to a very high standard.”

The fixtures and fittings were excellent and all the equipment -i.e. cutlery and crockery matched!!

Lovely peaceful situation.

Constance September 2019

“Lovely location, plenty of space for sitting indoors and out.”

Beautiful garden area, nice and peaceful, well equipped and beautifully furnished . Enjoyed visits to Abbotsbury Swannery, Montacute House, Lyme Regis and Hive Beach. Had a lovely meal at the White Horse Inn and also in Lyme Regis. Would find it useful to have more instructions on the wood burner. Useful to have WiFi as I was unable to get a phone signal. Would book again if coming back to Dorset

- Constance, September 2019
Paul August 2019

“Middle Farm Annex is a lovely property in a secluded position with lovely gardens.”

Just a few minutes from the main A35 we found it an ideal base for exploring from. The owner was available and extremely pleasant and helpful. A property we would definitely be looking to use again when next visiting Dorset.

- Paul, August 2019

“Wonderful. Simply wonderful.”

The outdoor space is amazing too. Internally the space is great as are the views. It's very clean and cosy and has everything needed for a trip. Great showers, as is the tum me dryer a real bonus when you are staying for more than a few days and with kids. Would highly recommend and if back in Dorset will be back. Definitely the best place we have stayed and we have stayed in a few.

“We feel that the biggest help you could give would be to create a list of perhaps ten local things of interest.”

We hadn't got a clue where anything was and kept travelling out to Weymouth and Dorchester not realising we were only a few minutes away from a local beach and local pub. Having said this, we would still book again for a return visit, can not fault the place.

“All furniture & equipment was of a very good standard.”

The bathrooms with excellent showers and the magnificent garden were also stand outs.Small negatives:an iron & board would be handy and a larger screen main TV would have been nice.This was our first visit to Dorset and we picked a great location right away!

“Delightful cottage in beautiful location, owner was very welcoming making us feel right at home.”

Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for place to stay in heart of Jurassic coast, just a short drive to local beaches and other attractions.

About the location

LONG BREDY

Bridport 8 miles; Dorchester 10 miles; Weymouth 12 miles

Long Bredy is a small picturesque village in the heart of the Bredy Valley, well known for its walks and stunning views. Nearby is also the village of Litton Cheney containing a number of facilities, including a Parish Church, the White Horse Inn and a community hall, along with charming cottages and a number of listed buildings. It has bus links, with two a day going to Bridport, two additional ones on a Saturday and one a week to Dorchester. Moreover, this charming village is an ideal base for exploring the area further, with Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, a 18th-century garden with rare plants and notable magnolia to explore nearby. Dorset is known for its stunning walks including the South West Coast path, part of which runs along the Jurassic Coast from Abbotsbury to Lyme Regis, where you can walk along beaches, cliffs, woodland and meadows. For some retail therapy, both Bridport and Dorchester are within 10 miles. Bridport has a wonderful street market on a Saturday and Wednesday, and a wide collection of local shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Dorchester also has a good selection of pubs, restaurants shops and a number of attractions including The Keep Military Museum, the Roman Town House and the Maumbury Rings, if you are interested in Roman history. Long Bredy is a delightful village, and an ideal base for exploring the rest of Dorset.”
