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.

We love Barbridge Cottage. It’s in such a peaceful location…is very well equipped and is perfect for our disabled son with the wetroom and level access. The owners- Sally and Justin, live next door and are very warm, friendly and welcoming. The food welcome pack was so useful and Sally provides much information about the local area in a folder to give ideas for your visit. An added bonus are the nine lovely Alpacas that we enjoyed feeding .. ( the two baby crias! ). Comfortable furniture and beds…spotlessly clean. We look forward to our next stay. ...

To anyone visiting and staying at Barbridge Cottage you will not be disappointed. It is an excellent place to spend a week. Take advantage of the more than comprehensive information provided by Sally and Justin. Do not be put off by having to go up a small track to the cottage. It is only 100 yards or so. Make sure you see the Alpacas and walk around the pond at the farm. We had a great time. Tony and Pauline....
