The kitchen is well stocked for self-catering, though guests should bring essentials. Overall, Copper Beech provides a memorable and enjoyable holiday experience in a lovely rural setting.
Most guests found the property generally clean and tidy, but several mentioned issues such as cobwebs, dirty windows, and a damp smell in one bathroom. Some felt the cleaning could be more thorough, especially given the price.

For some exhilarating scenic coastal walking, try walking from Seatown up to the top of Golden Cap with views over the whole of Lyme Bay stretching from Torquay to Portland. Call in on West Bay with its pretty harbour and do visit Lyme Regis with its well-known Cobb, which was built in the 18th century and became famous as the setting for John Fowles’ ’French Lieutenant’s Woman’. Within easy driving are many family attractions ranging from the Victorian seaside resort of Weymouth with its Sealife, Timewalk, and beach, and for family days out which the children will love, Monkey World and the Tank Museum near Wool. For the bird lover, Abbotsbury Swannery and Tropical Gardens are great places to visit, as are the two rspb nature reserves at Lodmoor and Radipole Lake. Inland Yeovilton Fleet Air Arm Museum with its Concorde and carrier flight deck are very popular, as are Sherborne Castle, Haynes Motor Museum and many more memorable attractions. Shops are 2½ miles and pubs ½ mile.

Copper Beech was well appointed with ensuites for all four bedrooms. The swimming pool was larger than the impression we got from the photographs and was warm for the whole stay. Although the house is some miles from a beach, it doesn't take long to get to one and it is also near many interesting attractions such as Lyme Regis and the Abbotsbury Swannery. The only gripe that we had was having to feed the electricity meter.

We had an absolutely fantastic time at Copper Beech this summer. The pool was well maintained, there are enough amenities in a close drive to sustain you for the duration of your holiday. Dishwasher tablets, cleaning products etc were not left at the property so be prepared to bring some or buy them on your way in. It is in a beautiful part of the country, we had plenty to do every day. Bridport is a fantastic town and the owners of the property were available and very kind. It is perfect for family gatherings and the grounds are brilliant for young children to play in.

What a gem, the pictures do not do it justice. So much space, two little boys who could not believe an enormous garden to run round in, a swimming pool which was just perfect. Well laid out kitchen with everything you need, normally we don’t cook on holiday but it was no problem and we didn’t fall over each other. A massive living room and the bedrooms were really wonderful, all en-suite, no one fighting over a loo. Windows and light, an orchard attached with deer, pheasants, rabbits and a naughty woodpecker much to everyone’s delight. Made breakfast especially nice. Returning next year.
