Set in a terrace of cottages opposite the charming village pub, this quintessential English cottage dates from the 1740's and is ideally situated for exploring both the surrounding chocolate box villages and the beautiful Jurassic coastline. Nearby Bridport has a choice of restaurants, pubs and shops for those essential supplies as well as a thriving selection of shops selling antiques and vintage curios, should you wish to seek out some treasures. Take a trip to West Bay, made famous by the BBC series Broadchurch and admire the sandy beach and stunning cliffs that line it. With great routes for walking and cycling leading directly from the property, there is something here for everyone.

Two steps take you from the pavement to the entrance door into this terraced cottage, where there is room to leave your coats and boots in the hallway. A further step takes you into a charming lounge/diner, which is the perfect welcoming and cosy space in which to relax. This characterful room has a Smart TV and a stunning inglenook fireplace complete with wood burner, so why not put your favourite programme on and unwind, before enjoying a home cooked meal in the adjacent dining area. Set to the back of the cottage is the kitchen, which has an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and a washing machine. The bathroom leads from the kitchen and has a shower over bath and WC. Heading back into the lounge a door leads to the winding cottage style stairs, which rise to the first floor. Here you will find a pretty double bedroom set to the front of the cottage and a cosy single bedroom overlooking the garden. Due to the age of the property there are low beams, vaulted ceilings and changes in level peppered throughout, which only adds to its character and charm.

Venturing outside to the pretty terraced rear garden you will find a fully enclosed space with steps leading up to numerous levels and a lovely seating area at the top.

Nice cottage in a lovely village. Great dog walks without the need to drive anywhere, but a very short drive to multiple lovely coastal spots. The stairs are a bit challenging, and the garden is up quite steep steps.

Lovely clean, well equipped and comfortable cottage. A number of added extras, fresh flowers, delicious cakes and fresh milk in the fridge upon arrival all of which made our stay even more perfect. Location was good just a short drive from Bridport, the village of Lodders is peaceful and the pub opposite very friendly.

This lovely cottage is situated in a very quiet village, yet only a 10 minute ride from Bridport and West Bay. It is well equipped with everything you would need, and is tastefully decorated.

Libra Cottage is absolutely lovely. It was warm and spotlessly clean when we arrived - with coffee, tea, milk and delicious cakes in the house. The location is perfect for walking and hiking.
