  I am writing to express our heartfelt gratitude for the truly delightful stay my family and I had at Grazeland Cottage from 20th to 27th July, 2024.

  From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the charm and beauty of the cottage. Nestled in the picturesque surroundings of Bridport, Dorset, Grazeland Cottage exceeded our expectations in every way. The serene and tranquil setting provided the perfect backdrop for a relaxing and memorable holiday. The cottage itself was immaculately maintained and thoughtfully decorated, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere. We were particularly impressed with the attention to detail, from the comfortable furnishings to the well-equipped kitchen. Every aspect of the cottage was designed to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Our family enjoyed spending time in the beautifully landscaped garden, where we could unwind and take in the stunning views. The location was ideal, allowing us to easily explore the charming town of Bridport and the breathtaking Dorset coast. We found ourselves quickly falling in love with the area and its many attractions. Your hospitality and care in preparing the cottage for our arrival were greatly appreciated. The welcome pack and helpful local information made us feel right at home from the start. It is clear that you take great pride in providing an exceptional experience for your guests. In summary, our stay at Grazeland Cottage was nothing short of wonderful. It was the perfect retreat for our family, offering both relaxation and adventure. We are already looking forward to our next visit and will be highly recommending Grazeland Cottage to friends and family. Thank you once again for your hospitality and for providing such a beautiful and comfortable home for our holiday. Warmest regards and thanks Simon

  Booked at very last minute for a short break both Sykes and the owners of the cottage were every accommodating to have us book swiftly and arrive the next day.

  The cottage well its truly amazing, let me start with location set outside of Bridport in the countryside about 10 mins drive from West Bay which is perfect for a quiet getaway and close enough to the coast to explore. The owners Steve and Chris are lovely and nothing is too much trouble, their dogs are also super friendly and wish we could have brought Grace home!. The cottage itself was a perfect mix of olde world charm with every mod con you could wish for particularly in the kitchen and absolutely spotless (thanks Chris). All on one floor which is great for elderly with two good size bedrooms (one with ensuite) a beautiful bathroom. We ate in as we have a quite a big dog who is perhaps not pub friendly . Great outside space with access to huge field to walk your dog, to step outside and hear the cows mooing and chickens clucking a real outdoor experience if like us you are townies who dont get out much!. Personally i loved sitting in the conservatory unwinding on a sunny afternoon in a peaceful environment away from it all. I can honestly say they have thought of everything and the additional bonus of Steve bringing us home cured products, fresh eggs and tomatoes for our breakfast, well what more could you want oh and not forgetting the welcome cake. We would love to return to this cottage for longer and explore the beautiful area

  We have just returned from a lovely week spent at Grazeland cottage the 2nd time we have visited.

  The cottage is very well equipped and furnished, decorated to a high standard throughout. It is set in very well maintained gardens and an enclosed fenced patio area at the rear of the property with a gate leading to a large field ideal for walking the dog, our Greyhound loved it. At the front of the property is a spacious conservatory ideal for relaxing in and watching the wildlife in the evening. We were met on arrival by Steve who welcomed us and is very friendly and informative. A lovely surprise was milk in the fridge and cakes also Steve treated us to fresh eggs from his chickens along with sausages and bacon! The cottage is only a couple of miles away from Bridport which is a lovely market town with many independent shops, good pubs and cafes many are dog friendly which was great. Only a short drive to the coastal villages and only slightly further to The Donkey Sanctuary at Sidmouth which is a lovely day out. We had a lovely stay and our greyhound enjoyed it too. We are already planning our third visit hopefully later this year - stayed June 2017

  Despite changeable weather we have just enjoyed a very enjoyable week at this spacious, ground level well appointed property.

  Enjoying coffee and cake, while our two mini labradoodles investigated the enclosed rear patio area, my wife’s comment was “ it’s lovely, spotlessly clean, comfortable and has got everything we will need”. To make sure we didn’t go short Steve’s home made sausages, bacon and new laid eggs made a welcome breakfast. Located down a quiet country lane about 1 1/2 miles North of Bridport there is plenty of off road parking alongside the house with no disturbance from the road .. or the owners who were always available without any intrusion. There lots of walks to enjoy, Bridport has four supermarkets, a weekly market, good dog friendly cafes and inns serving excellent food - The Half Moon and Tea Traders cafe in Beaminster are worth a visit. West Bay is lively, on a wet day the dog friendly garden centre with large cafe is welcoming and further afield the amazing Beer Quarry Caves (dog friendly) are well worth a visit. With out any reservations we can highly recommend this property and intend to return ourselves, hopefully next year.

  Great holiday cottage even in the middle of winter.

  House is brilliantly equipped with everything we needed for a long break before moving to our new house. Steve and Chrissie were really helpful, funny and friendly - with obvious social distancing in mind. The homemade bacon, sausage and eggs were a lovely treat. The house is immaculately clean, warm and level, with easy access to all rooms, especially for older guests. The paddock at the back was brilliant for exercising the dog. And the wildlife was great to see. Easy access to Bridport for shopping and the countryside is beautiful here. We didn’t want super fast internet or phone signal but still managed to get Netflix and prime down on a fire stick easily. A lovely place to stay. Would recommend any time and hope to come back soon.
