Brilliant location and scenic views
Property as excellent - very clean, spacious and good sized rear garden plus beautiful views of surrounding countryside. Only one negative - the bathroom shower - was very average and not easy to adjust for anyone under 5 feet two. Everything else was spot-on.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was a lovely little cottage. Very comfortable and the owners were great. It was in the middle of no where and was so peaceful, made perfect with the beautiful horses in the field at the bottom of the garden who always came over to see us all and put dog. The kids could wander and often went trekking in the fields searching for the different wildlife. Will certainly be back.

Perfect Birthday Weekend
Booked the property for my birthday weekend, the location is picturesque and peaceful. Adrian was very welcoming and friendly, as well as his daughter. The property has everything you could ask for, and the garden was perfect for the pups to run about in. Would definitely recommend and will probably return in the future.

A perfect rural retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this very peaceful cottage. It was spotlessly clean and well equipped. The bed was comfortable and we slept very well in the quiet countryside. The owner's daughter introduced herself and asked us to contact her if we had any problems or questions. We had good communication with owner. Overall a perfect place to stay if you wish a quiet rural cottage but also a short drive from the coast.

Lovely cottage in rural setting
The cottage was perfect - rural, peaceful and quiet, and great for star gazing too. Near enough to Bridport (with a car) for essentials and a good base for exploring the Dorset coast. Altogether a lovely escape.

Smart accommodation in an excellent peaceful location
An out-of-the-way location but only 3 miles from Bridport. It is reached by narrow winding roads which are steep in places. The conversion of the stables into holiday lets has been done very well. Smart, simple furnishings and a well organised kitchen. Plenty of outdoor space - ideal for our two dogs. Wished we could have stayed longer. Suggestion: a bit more information on walks in the immediate area around the property.

Very Friendly and Welcoming
Exactly as described, it is tucked out the way so you will need a car but it really feels like you are in the countryside. Ideal for visiting multiple local places; West Bay, Charmouth, Lyme Regis, Seaton Tramway Adrian was very helpful and welcoming. He gave us lots of advice on where to go and even printed one off for us. We were 2 adults and a teenage boy and there was plenty of space

We enjoyed our stay at Buckingham Cottage. The cottage was very clean and exactly as advertised. Our daughter aged nine loved feeding the two horses at the bottom of our garden. She really did not want to leave. We would definitely recommend this property.
