Lovely accommodation, large spacious living area with lots of natural light and 2 comfortable bedrooms. It was perfect for three adults. A small outdoor area at the back with outdoor furniture. Owners lived next door running a small holding, which they were very happy and enthusiastic to show us around and introduce us to the alpacas, dogs, ducks and chickens. The owners are very friendly and there to have a chat with when you want but not at all intrusive. The owners provided a wonderful substantial welcome hamper, full of local or homemade produce. ...

Beautifully presented holiday cottage on a scenic smallholding with friendly animals.

Mr Wright June 2021
We had a wonderful week in Barbridge Cottage in early June, even the weather was kind. The cottage is very comfortable spacious and well equipped with everything you could possibly need and things you didn’t even know you needed. The welcome basket left by the lovely owners was an unexpected bonus. Great location for visiting the Jurassic coast and surrounding countryside. Sally and Justin are great hosts very welcoming and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. They really do seem to enjoy meeting new guests and give you as much or as little attention as you want. I would highly recommend a stay at Barbridge Cottage. Don & Margaret ...
