In a nutshell.....the most amazing cottage I've ever stayed in!!!! Spotlessly clean and super comfortable with everything you need for the perfect holiday. Set in an idyllic part of Dorset with stunning beaches and picturesque landscapes on your doorstep. Yes the cottage is in a small village with very narrow roads in and out but with patience and a little care the location is superb if you crave peace and quiet. We were very sad to leave and will most definitely return!!!!

Great bungalow, well equipped and very comfortable.Very good beaches close by. Would recommend the New Inn in the village and Felicity's farm shop just 5 miles west.

Sparrow Cottage is great! Well equipped and extremely clean and comfortable. Dog friendly. A washing machine and tumble dryer available to use in an outhouse. Our relations were over from Australia and they stayed in Woodpecker which was perfect! A good location although the country lanes are very narrow. We shopped in Bridport and we love West Bay so visited there a lot. Lots of pubs and restaurants to try within a short driving distance. A local pub ‘The New Inn’ about a 5 mins walk away.
