Very relaxing break, lovely old stone building with all amenities for a comfy stay. Village pub with good beer and extensive evening menu within short walk. Great hub from which to visit the coast or country walks. Bridport and Lyme easy driving distance. Shall be back !...

The owners have thought of everything holidaymakers could need. Local information maps and books are excellent. Location is very good for coast and special gardens inland.
