Beech Cottage is fantastic! It’s in a lovely location, surrounded by wildlife. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and has everything you could ever need. It was perfectly clean. We will definitely be staying again.

The most spacious and lovely little house: choose your bedroom, the one where you lean out into a fig tree, ( if you are quick you can pick the ripe figs before the blackbirds) or choose the superb view into a meadow where deer come at dusk. ( Two meadows up, and we saw a Barn Owl hunting ) You are completely surrounded by deepest countryside: sit outside for breakfast and House Martins and Swallows fly over you. Stroll up the narrow road ( virtually without cars) and the Merlin App identifies Goldcrest, Firecrest, Linnets, Willow Warbler, Tree Sparrow among many others..... This place is hard to leave: definitely for those who want to encounter the rural Britain of fifty or more years ago. I am still missing it. ...

We had a lovely week celebrating 80th birthday with family. Downstairs bedroom and wet room ideal for less mobile. Clean comfortable spacious cottage in a peaceful location. Great base to explore this part of Dorset. We enjoyed Bridport Saturday market, loved Hive beach, great for a sundowner (NT members free parking) both about 30 minutes away. The kitchen is very well equipped. Very hot when we stayed and the conservatory gets too hot to sit in during the day to eat. We had a bat get into one bedroom one night so had to be mindful of having windows wide open at night but then it is great to be out in the countryside! Garden is definitely not dog proof and could do with 2 more patio chairs as only 4. Recommend Dorset apple cake and cream at reserve cafe a 2 minute walk from cottage. This cottage is great value for money...

Just ideal for a group of old university friends to catch up. Perfect location for exploring the nature reserve. The meadows are very special. Within easy reach of the coast

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. ...
