This was our second visit to Barbridge Cottage, the hosts Justin and Sally were again fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. We also enjoyed feeding the ducks and alpacas and chatting to Justin who gave us some great recommendations of places to visit and places to eat. We had a very relaxing time so thanks again, I'm sure we will be back....

This is a beautiful, warm, comfortable cottage which is exceptionally well equipped. The hosts are very helpful and the welcome basket was much appreciated. As well as being well placed for exploring west Dorset and east Devon, the on site attractions of the resident animals, especially the alpacas, are an added bonus. We were particularly blessed with mild and dry weather for November which ensured we could play golf, fly fish and complete some pretty challenging walks for a couple of crumblies! We first stayed here in 2006 and our return certainly did not disappoint....

The hosts Sally and Justin were very welcoming and immediately made us feel at ease. Provided good additional information and tips. They were very sociable :0) Its a lovely cottage with fantastic views and beautiful location. We loved their four legged family too (alpacas, hens, ducks, dogs, cats...) We enjoyed it so much that we are taking my elderly mother back again next June. My mother is is a wheelchair so the rails and wide access and ramp worked really well for her....
