The spacious garden and quiet setting contribute to a restful experience. While some guests have suggested updates and maintenance improvements, the property's overall charm and the owners' responsiveness are frequently commended.
Most guests found the cottage to be clean upon arrival, with some noting recent improvements. However, a few reviews mentioned issues with cleanliness, such as dirty windows and patio doors, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is highly praised for its tranquility, sea views, and proximity to the beach. The peaceful setting and easy access to local attractions are consistent highlights in guest reviews.
Guests generally find the cottage comfortable, with special mention of the conservatory and spacious rooms. However, some guests noted that the beds could be more comfortable and the furniture is showing signs of wear.
The cottage is appreciated for its wheelchair-friendly design and adaptations. Nonetheless, several reviews suggest that the facilities, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, could benefit from updating and maintenance.

About this property
Mimosa cottage is located in the Dorset Coastal village of West Bexington and offers beautiful views of the World Heritage Jurassic Coast as well as the rolling hills and patchwork of fields of surrounding the village.
The cottage is a part of a complex of three holiday cottages with individual pretty gardens surrounding them all. Mimosa cottage is a superb holiday home for disabled person and a carer being thoughtfully equipped and well laid out. It is of course also good for any able-bodied family or couple too.
Guests staying at Mimosa will benefit from the wheelchair friendly accommodation with comfortable spacious rooms all on one level, including an accessible wet room, conservatory and separate chill out room.
A patio area with tables and chairs is the ideal place to enjoy an alfresco lunch in the sunshine whilst surveying the wonderful views all around.
Surrounding Mimosa are delightful gardens for you to explore, pockets of lawn are interspersed with paths and fruit trees. You are more than welcome to help yourself to apples and pears when they ripen over the Summer.
Take a short walk across the field and you will reach the famous Chesil Beach. Admire thousands of wintering birds on the Fleet or spot a variety of Dorset wildlife through binoculars. If you are ready for more energetic activities, you can walk to the beautiful village of Abbotsbury which is situated just a few miles along the coast towards the Isle of Portland. Abbotsbury’s Abbey, St Catherine’s chapel, the Swan Sanctuary, Sub-tropical gardens and tea room will make a great day out for everyone in the party.
A clubhouse is within walking distance from the cottage following the path across the field, ideal for some refreshment after a hearty walk. There is an organic farm shop nearby selling locally grown produce, with shops and supermarkets just a short drive away in Bridport.
Mimosa is the perfect location to relax and unwind off the beaten track to the sounds of birds rather than traffic.
Come and enjoy some time away from your hectic life at Mimosa cottage.
The ever popular resort of Weymouth makes an outstanding year-round holiday destination, with a wide variety of attractions on offer, appealing to all tastes and ages.

A short drive takes you to Portland Harbour, and the rugged “Isle” of Portland, linked to Weymouth by the dramatic Chesil Beach. Visit Dorchester, Thomas Hardy’s “Casterbridge”, only 7 miles away, or take a journey along the scenic coastal road and call in at Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens.

We had to clean the place when we got there. The shower plug hole was jammed with hair so I had to clean it out as the water wouldn't go down. The single beds were that uncomfortable that we didn't have one good night's sleep. We left 2 days early as we couldn't stand to stay any longer. The place is dated and needs an uplift and decent cleaners needed to actually clean the place properly. Disgusting that Sykes even have this on their website!!
