This is a lovely cottage with plenty of parking space and owners who are very welcoming and available if needed. The cottage itself is very comfortable and spotlessly clean, with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. I recommend it very highly.

Our hosts Les May and family, went out of their way to ensure our stay was memorable. Can't thank them enough. The location was delightful and deep in the West Dorset Hills. We walked, cycled and visited several places of interest during our stay. A tour of Palmer's Brewery in Bridport is a must and their wine shop is a treasure. We climbed Pilsdon Hill and imagined the Iron Age and Bronze Age history under our feet. Bridport town is a gem as well as Chesil Beach and the views from Hardy's Monument. A walk along the beach from Burton Bradstock to West Bexington and back was a challenge.. Sad the old teahouse at W. Bexington has gone and replaced by The Club House, with eye watering prices. Avoid! Cycling the lanes was fun, either up or down, no flat, our ebikes being just the ticket. Local honey from Drimpton to take home and Palmer's 200 dark beer softened the road when walking back from the Royal Oak. We shall certainly return to Old Sandpitts Lodge. Can't wait to sit out on the front patio again and toast the sunset. Thankyou Les....

We had a lovely week here. The cottage was spotless on arrival and the kitchen was kitted out with everything you need. Les was great and let our 3 year old feed the ducks at breakfast which she loved. The location is perfect for visiting all the gardens nearby and it’s only 25 minutes to the sea. Would definitely stay here again. ...
