Mrs Derry September 2023
We had a wonderful stay at Barbridge Cottage. It was exceptionally clean and comfortable and was in a peaceful location with easy access to both West Dorset and East Devon. The owners were very welcoming and helpful, forwarding local information to us a week or so before our visit. They were also very generous with their personal space allowing guests to walk round their lake and fields and introducing us to their alpacas and their adorable dog, Winston, and cats, Stitch and Lily. There is a decked area at the rear of the cottage and, as it was very hot when we were there, it was pleasant to be able to sit out in the evenings and cool down. One of the best cottages we have stayed in....
