Beech Cottage worked well for a memorable family gathering, with a good convivial living space and a unique location. It does feel slightly institutional at first, particularly upstairs, but soon felt cosy once filled with folk, and having all the ensuite rooms accommodated an extended family very comfortably. Even with very boggy ground there are lovely walks to enjoy, and our youngsters enjoyed the bird hide and mud kitchen at the centre. We had worried about the isolated position when it came to eating out, but in fact the drive down to Bridport is relatively easy and, as a bonus, offers spectacular views. ...

We loved Beech Cottage for our get together. It’s a great warm social cottage re lounge space and dining space. Bedrooms tastefully furnish with beautiful bed linen and so quiet at night. The five of us had a en-suite each with a perfectly working shower and deluxe towels. Plenty of parking. Just like in the promotion photos, thoroughly recommended. ...

We made a suggestion to the wildlife trust to lower the height of the hedge outside the conservatory so that you can actually see into the reserve and observe some wildlife. As it’s listed as a dog friendly property a dog water bowl and food bowls would have been great, maybe even a dog bed. The garden is not secure for anyone with a smaller dog as they can just walk out under the gate into the road. ...

Thank you for your helpful review with such useful suggestions. We have tried to show all aspects of the cottage and leafy garden on our website and where is the best place from which to view wildlife; as there is verdant growth all around the cottage the conservatory is surrounded with greenery giving privacy from visitors to the reserve. Your four-legged friends are very welcome on holiday with you at Beech Cottage and we are sorry bowls and a bed were not available; we are sure the owners would liked to have helped with this had they known. These items are not part of the general inventory so it would be best to check ahead of arrival for specific items so there is time to provide them. Dogs are very adept at finding gaps to squeeze through even in the best enclosed spaces so we always suggest keeping an eye on them, especially as there is livestock as well as wildlife nearby. We would love to assist with finding the perfect location for your next holiday. Sarah, Customer Support ...

We (a group of 5 musical friends) have spent long weekends at Beech Cottage for many years. The space in the sitting room is perfect for us to sit, chat and play without needing to move our precious instruments. Spacious and light conservatory / dining room which feels part of the natural surroundings. When the evenings are chilly the heating makes the cottage cosy. The kitchen is well equipped and the whole cottage is always clean and tidy when we arrive. I hope we will be coming back for many more visits. Shelagh...
