The cottage is hidden away down a quiet lane in a peaceful location in the heart of the thriving market town of Bridport. The location is close to all amenities, shops, eateries, pubs, art deco Electric Palace and Bridport Arts Centre. Bucky Doo Square is a couple of minutes walk from the cottage, where musicians perform, as people visit the street markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays, selling everything from bric-a-brac to street food.
Recently refurbished the stone cottage is light, cosy and comfortable. After coming through the front door you enter a porch for coats and shoes and containing a cabinet with cottage and tourist information and games for the use of guests.
The living room/diner contains a wood burner, comfortable seating and a range of equipment you might expect. French doors lead to a sheltered stone walled courtyard which can accommodate one car and has a rear wrought iron gate for vehicular access. A table and chairs are situated in the courtyard for al fresco dining.
A small but well equipped kitchen leads off from the living room.

As well as the twice weekly markets there is a monthly farmers' market, a monthly vintage market and a regular artisan market held in the arts centre. Bridport has a free museum which has a significant section informing you of the town's rope making industry and history. There are many festivals throughout the year including themes such as literary, film, rope, food/drink and the unique hat festival.
The beaches and harbour at West Bay ( of "Broadchurch" fame) is approximately 1.5 miles from the cottage. Either a few minutes drive or a lovely (45 minutes approx) walk through the town orchard and along the river Brit. In general the cottage is a good base for walkers and cyclists. Many varied day routes and destinations are possible along the coast or through beautiful countryside. You could easily spend a week or two and not use a car if you wanted to.
The surrounding area is largely unspoilt with several areas owned by the National Trust. The coast has World Heritage status and many literary connections including Thomas Hardy.
