The cottage has nice rooms, and is in a lovely position, in a little village, with small shop/post office very near, and a pub with good food. Fields, leading by a pleasant stroll to the beach, and the excellent Hive Beach Caf, are on the doorstep. The garden is fine, suiting a small boy with a football. The second double bedroom is suffering somewRead morehat from damp. The owners only supplied feather bedding, which meant we had to bring our own, which was a nuisance. Hide

Our second stay at Clapper Bridge Cottage. Such a great place to relax and unwind. The setting is so pretty, quiet and peaceful, the beach is close and the village pubs are great for eating out. Bridport is within easy reach for amenities. We had great weather again and enjoyed exploring the area.

The location is fabulous as you can walk to the beach to the Hive restaurant and it has 2 pubs in the village and you can get out to walk along the coast so easily. Close to so many interesting beaches and walks. Great Location

We loved Burton Bradstock. The cottage is in a great location with lots of dog walks on the doorstep and just a 10 minute walk to the fabulous Hive Beach. The Hive Beach Cafe serves good food. Two village pubs within walking distance of the cottage too and we ate at both. The cottage itself is spacious and well equipped but could do with a little TRead moreLC in some areas, especially the garden which was very overgrown and untidy - it did not look anything like the photo on the website.

The cottage is spacious, and well equipped in terms of appliances, crockery, bed linen etc. Burton Bradstock is a lovely village so the location is good. But the cottage is quite tired and in need of maintenance and the standard of cleanliness was not what we would expect. It was nice to have a secure garden for the dog. But it was very overgrown aRead morend neglected and was not a pleasant place to sit. Hide

Fantastic location within a gorgeous village. Perfect for being able to access beach, pubs, shop and restaurant/ bar / beach cafe without having to drive. Perfect combination of village, coast and countryside. Gorgeous cottage with great facilities (sharp knives, good glasses, games). Super comfortable beds.

We had a wonderful and relaxing holiday in this lovely characterful cottage. It's in a peaceful location close to all village facilities and the beach. There are two great pubs in the village and The Hive cafe on the nearby beach which all serve good food . It was a perfect holiday as there was no need to get in the car to drive anywhere! Thankyou!
