Fantastic house for a big family holiday. Great location near the shops in Bridport and easy to get to beaches nearby by foot (West Bay) or car to Burton Bradstock and Lyme Regis. The games room was great for entertaining teenagers (and dads) and the outdoor table was perfect for big family meals and games. We loved it!

Absolutely cracking house which easily fitted 16 family members and a dog for some significant birthday celebrations. The ease of access to the downstairs bedrooms and bathrooms really helped the older generations get about by themselves. Very well equipped house with lots of plates, cups etc for all eventualities and a great games room and outsideRead more space. The house is located very close to Bridport town centre which was very convenient for the shops but did give some road noise at times. Hide
