    “Mead Cottage is a superb holiday cottage in an incredible location.”

    5 min walk on bridal path into West Bay or 15 min walk into the center of Bridport. The cottage is well appointed and has everything you could want in a holiday facility. It was very hot whist we were away (up to 28 deg) but the cottage was easy to cool down of an evening and we never needed to use the fan provided . One minor improvement that would be useful, a thermal blackout blind in the front bedroom of the same type as that in the rear bedroom would prevent the front bedroom heating up ...

    5 min walk on bridal path into West Bay or 15 min walk into the center of Bridport. The cottage is well appointed and has everything you could want in a holiday facility. It was very hot whist we were away (up to 28 deg) but the cottage was easy to cool down of an evening and we never needed to use the fan provided . One minor improvement that would be useful, a thermal blackout blind in the front bedroom of the same type as that in the rear bedroom would prevent the front bedroom heating up and make sleeping better for light sleepers (full sun from 4am!!). We would definitely use Mead Cottage again . Car parking very good just outside rear gate.

    Hi, we are thrilled you had a great holiday!! Glad you liked the black out blind, that was Mums idea for this season. She is looking at getting one for the other bedroom too. I hope you found some of the amazing restaurants and got to enjoy the walks (before melting). We can’t wait to welcome you back :) Property Owner

About the location

WEST BAY

Bridport 1.5 miles; Lyme Regis 11 miles.

West Bay, fondly known as “The Gateway to the Dorset Jurassic Coast” and popularised by the TV series Broadchurch, lies close to the glorious sandstone cliffs of Golden Cap, at the western end of the dramatic pebbly Chesil Beach. This is a wonderful seaside location, perfect for family holidays, offering scenic walks along the South West Coast Path, as well as ample opportunities to try your hand at sea fishing, crabbing, boating and golf. Visit the homes of Thomas Hardy and TE Lawrence, the Tank Museum at Bovington or the Naval Air Museum at Yeovil. Only 1.5 miles away is the vibrant market town of Bridport, featured in the TV series, River Cottage. The area holds plenty of attractions to suit the whole family! Just a short drive West takes you to Charmouth for fossil hunting, to the picturesque seaside resort of Lyme Regis, and to River Cottage HQ near Axminster. To the East are the lovely Sub-tropical Gardens and Swannery at Abbotsbury, and the golden sands of Weymouth. This wonderful location makes an ideal base for a great family holiday.
