What a wonderful house for a family holiday. Lots of space indoor and out for everyone. The village is beautiful with pubs, beach, walks and a great bus route. The house is well equipped for a large group, the kitchen and communal dining space had room for us all and the house just feels so welcoming. We had one of our best ever holidays here and would be very happy to return.

A lovely property situated in a great location. Burton Bradstock is a charming village with two great pubs and some lovely walks. The house was ideal for two families holidaying together, with a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and plenty of room for everyone.
