This Grade-II listed cottage is located at the heart of Bridport, within strolling distance of local pubs, shops, and an acclaimed Saturday market. Perfectly positioned for exploring the nearby Jurassic Coast – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – you’ll find beaches and coastal walks within easy driving distance. The home itself is compact, but it has everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay, including a shared garden. Taller guests may find the ceiling a little low in the twin bedroom, and the stairs throughout the house are steeper than average. But if that’s not a problem, we think this this home is a great choice for a family or small group of friends wanting a convenient base while exploring the Jurassic Coast.
