Family friendly

Spend the day at the seaside, perfect for a spot of crabbing or fossil hunting, or visit one of the local attractions. Back home toys, games, books, DVDs and WiFi help keep all the family entertained.

Fantastic food and drink

West Dorset has a thriving food scene and a throng of local producers. Take a short stroll from the cottage to a wide selection of restaurants, tea rooms, cafés, pubs and the harbour food huts.

Relaxing

Lively in the summer, West Bay is quieter but just as magical the rest of the year. Breathe in that fresh sea air then come back to our warm cottage and relax in front of a wood-burning fire.

I first got to know Dorset as a teenager in the 1980s when my family moved to a little village there. After leaving home, living in the South East, I returned often. In the summer of 2009, now with husband and small daughter in tow, we saw our cottage in an estate agent’s window in Bridport and, just going to have a look, fell for it. That was it, rather unplanned, our own seaside cottage. Brand new owners in picture above.

Ever since we’ve stayed there often, mostly weekends and school holidays, and still love it as much as ever. Only trouble is now, with a husband who has joined two bands (midlife crisis?!) and a teenage daughter who makes her own plans, trying to find the time when we can all get away to stay in our cottage ourselves...

We have tried to think of things that our guests might like. If you can think of anything that is not provided and would make your stay more comfortable and enjoyable (and would fit in the cottage!) please let us know. We hope you come and spend a holiday in our cottage and enjoy staying in it, West Bay and beautiful West Dorset as much as we do!
