Banbridge Cottage is in a lovely peaceful and quiet location. It's all on one level with a wet room separate to the main bathroom so was ideal for our disabled son. The property is lovely, spacious and spotlessly clean and you are guaranteed a warm welcome by the lovely owners who live closeby. Alpacas to visit and feed are an added bonus. We have stayed four times and will come again ...

Excellent and a beautiful cottage anyone who stays in this cottage will not be disappointed
Mrs Miller June 2025
We had a lovely time at this cottage. The cottage is in a very peaceful setting down a small track, and being one storey, is ideal for those who are not very mobile. There is a ramp access to the front door and one of the bathrooms is kitted out with hand rails etc. The owners of the cottage live next door, but neither property impinges on the privacy of the other. They were so kind and helpful, with lots of local information provided beforehand and additional information on easy access locations for my disabled cousin. The property was spotless and well-equipped. The alpacas were fun!...

Barbridge cottage is an excellent hideaway, a quiet spot that allows you to relax and enjoy the wonderful peace and beauty of the undulating Dorset countryside. It is a spacious stone cottage with lovely bedrooms, large lounge and well designed kitchen and dining area. The cottage has everything you would ever want. The kitchen is fully equipped with all appliances, including a Nespresso coffee machine. The lounge area has TV, CD and DVD players and internet access. The outside decking has patio furniture and facilities for a barbecue. Sally and Justin are the most welcoming and friendly hosts you would ever meet! Nothing is too much trouble. My wife and I enjoyed our stay immensely! We were joined by two relatives for a few days which worked well as the accommodation has two comfortable bedrooms. Meeting and feeding the alpacas is a great experience and Sally goes out of her way to allow visits to see them. Make sure you bring their favourite snack ... chopped carrots! We plan to return one day in the future!...

This was our second visit 9 years after the first. Barbridge Cottage was as comfortable and welcoming as we remembered. Quiet and peaceful for a restful break yet close to much that West Dorset has to offer. Thoroughly recommended.
