Tucked away and lovely

We stayed three night in the garden studio and it was great. We were provided lots of information prior to our arrival. Paul met us when we arrived and showed us around. The garden studio is lovely. Very comfortable bed room with a table and chairs. Well Stocked kitchen with plenty of utensils, a single ring camping cooker if you want to cook. They provided breakfast foods for us which was a lovely touch. We really liked it and the location is great, two minutes from the town centre. Great for a long weekend stay.

A Secret Hideaway

A lovely, cosy cabin with an enclosed decked area, perfect for me & my labrador to have a 4 day getaway. Short walk into town, short drive to the coast. Delightful place.

Very nice property and close to all the facilities, nice to be left milk, bread, jam and lots of other nice and essential stuff. The only thing we didn't like was the property itself is not very dog friendly, wasn't allowed to let him off the lead in the garden and the decking area was only about 5ft by 6ft, photos were a bit misleading and also the little walkway from back gate to property is pitch black after 9pm, so had to buy a torch to take the dog out.

Brilliant Stay

It is a wonderful place to stay. Very quiet but very close to all the shops etc. Well maintained, very welcoming and ideal for two people. We would like to add a big thank you to the owner for her patience in trying to show us how to work the TV. This is our second time and hopefully will return again. thank you Gill and Roger

Summer holiday

Julia and Pall, the host, very welcoming. Garden Studio very comfortable. Had everything we needed. Welcome breakfast was provided. Tea & coffee available. Cleaning items. Bathroom just perfect with a shower. Great location, easy walking distance to centre of town. Parking can be a bit of an issue, but, there is free parking after 6pm at the police station, a 5 minute walk from the property. Thank you Julia and Paul for a fabulous stay. Will definitely be back.

The Cabin

I phoned the host (Julia) when i was half an hour away. They came out to meet me and showed me in. She showed me where everything was. I had her number in case i needed something. The accomodation was spotless, lots of info regarding taxis etc. I was there for a wedding but wish i booked an extra couple of days. Can highly recommend this accommodation. Lovely hosts.

Oasis in Bridport

When we first arrived, I must admit I had reservations. The area is a large housing estate.however, once you enter the garden and the property it is like an oasis. Very welcoming hosts, generous welcome pack including lovely fresh bread, butter and jams.

About the host

Hosted by Julia Williams

Julia and Paul came to Bridport in 2010, Paul is an artist and yoga teacher and Julia a natural health therapist and also a yoga and movement teacher. We found this character listed property that was once a ropemakers cottage; the past trade of Bridport supplying rope for the ships at West Bay from flax and hemp grown locally. Our garden is a joy, apple trees and mistletoe overlooking our converted stable/studio where we now teach yoga and my therapy spa room. We moved here with our rather aging dog hector, a lab cross who loved his river walks and hikes up the hills. The outbuildings from our home lead onto our summerhouse, now your accommodation, it feels rather like being by the seaside with the gulls overhead and an added touch of the nautical! We enjoy Bridport and hope you will too.

Why they chose this property

We found this property and it had all we were looking for, outbuildings, a large garden full of English country flowers and beautiful magnolia. It is located just 2 minutes from the town centre and walkable to the sea the country route on a fine day. Hector our dog loved it, he enjoyed river swims and views across to the sea from the top of neighbouring Allington Hill. From the town you see the hills in each direction, and the landmark Colmer Hill with distinctive trees on top. Bridport has a real sense of community and the music and art scene is very active.A great place for foodies, many famous chefs in the vicinity as well as excellent chefs in the many restaurants around town, with so much local fresh produce available it is a joy to eat and shop especially at the local farms shops .

What makes this property unique

Bridport market town is an ideal location to base oneself with easy access to shops, restaurants and entertainment whilst just a short drive to the coast. While staying at the Garden Studio why not take a break, enjoy a relaxing massage right at your doorstep or enjoy a yoga class to start your day, or to stretch after a long drive. A perfect combination especially if you love to walk the coast or are keen cyclists touring the area, we can offer that little extra. Cotton robes and beach towels can be provided and a welcoming tea and in season maybe some Dorset apple cake will greet you on arrival. All bedding is crisp cotton and natural shower and hand products are provided. You can travel light as we provide all those extras we all love to have on holiday.
