The property and location could not have been more perfect for us. Justin and Sally, the owners living next door, were unbelievably helpful and generous with their time and made every effort to make sure that our short stay in Dorset was the very best that it could be. We really do hope to return one day but maybe after the trip to California, suggested by Sally....

This was a fantastic cottage, all we could have wished for. Owners very welcoming everything in the cottage we needed. There was a home baked carrot cake and a bottle of fizz in the fridge plus two ice lollies in the freezer for the grandchildren. Much appreciated after the long drive. Kids loved the chickens. We all really enjoyed our stay....

A great location for exploring Dorset. Lovely place to come back to set in rolling countryside. Such a warm welcome from the owners with a wonderful pack of local and homemade provisions. The chickens are so entertaining too!
Mr Thomas July 2015
We would just like to say that the owners Justin and Sally were such lovely people and most helpful and welcoming. We would not hesitate to stay at Barbridge Cottage again. The cottage was outstanding and very comfortable and very well equipped. We were happy in every respect and could not fault the property or the lovely owners (and all the fluffy friends!!)...

Mr O'Keeffe April 2015
The additional 'welcome' basket of fresh eggs, butter, milk, bread, marmalade and carrot cake was extra special and very much appreciated. The owners could not have been more welcoming and friendly. This is one of the best cottages we have stayed in over 30 years. We cannot speak too highly of the cottage and owners! thoroughly recommend.This is a five star cottage to us!...
