We have enjoyed our stay and been blessed with lovely sunny days. Loaf has been very comfortable and has everything we need. We found the Bridport Green Route to be very worthwhile and a great way to know Bridport - especially finished with the Ropemakers pub. The Tea Chest at Mangerton Mill is lovely and quirky and we enjoyed the market in Bridport collecting a few things there. Cogden and Golden Cap walks are glorious.
