St Gabriels Cottage

Fantastic spot!

Lovely and rural! Great hikes right out side the door. The stairs are for the faint of heart or children perhaps, worth bearing in mind. Which was well documented up front. It’s quite a mission from the road with numerous bags, but all part of the fun. We had the heat wave weather and enjoyed dining in the garden! Beds are very comfortable! We did sleep in the downstairs room but moved upstairs for a bit more room, worth considering if you are tall! As we are not! Can’t wait to head back!

Had a lovely time, the cottage was a traditional old world experience, as expected.

I would definitely come again. Peaceful, quiet, secluded, plenty of bird song. I am in my 70’s, lugging bags to and from cottage was not fun, but excepted it was worth it for the experience of the cottage and location. I will book again in the future.

We have had the most wonderful time staying at this beautiful cottage.

It's the perfect escape from reality and the fact that there's no WiFi was such a bonus for us. When we weren't out exploring we were playing games and just having time being present with eachother. Our 9 year old cried when we left.. which in itself shows how much we loved our stay. Thank you!

A very enjoyable few days in a beautiful setting.

just a charming simple cottage in a lovely setting, magically slows life down, a beautiful place to share with loved ones

St Gabriel's Cottage is the perfect getaway to feel away from the hustle and bustle of our modern and busy lives.

It's location feels remote with excellent walking around Golden Cap and the SW Coast path, but in reality the house is only 5 minutes drive from the best Dorset farm shop (Felicity's) and 10 minutes from Charmouth and Bridport. We've stayed here for three years in a row and have loved it every time.

Rang several times about a wasps nest and it wasn't dealt with or were we moved to another property.

I removed two dozen wasps and we were able to stay the night but more got in the following day (with all windows closed). I was promised a callback three times but never got one. I got a refund for one of the two nights eventually, but that appeared in my account. It was never explained that was the outcome. Not my style to complain but this warrants it. I have a three year old that couldn't sleep for fear of the wasps, and the whole thing was handled badly. Shame because the property and location are idyllic. Lovely old cottage. Bathroom is nice and modern, but the rest of the cottage is true to it's age. I should also note that there was no hot water in the kitchen.

What a magical place!

We loved it so much - thank you. Delighted also by the absence of WiFi and mobile reception. We hope to be back.

St Gabriels Cottage is a gem.

It is a beautiful, sensitively restored historic bldg in a beautiful setting . The cottage is warm and comfortable and utterly charming. We found everything we needed within.

St Gabriels is a magical cottage in a wonderful location.

It is very peaceful with lovely walks and views along the cliffs. We have come every year for many years and it feels like a second home to us.

Location is very remote.

No vehicle access unless you have a off road 4x4. The scenery is out of this world. But you need either tv or internet access.

A gorgeous setting in a superb location.

Not having Wi-Fi/signal was a godsend and three young boys (2/4/6) had great fun playing tag/rugby/football passing in the garden. Unfortunately the holiday was let down by a few major points: a ridiculously small downstairs bed; a kettle that didn't work 95% of the time, the remaining 5% requiring you to hold the button down; a shower head blocked with limescale and pinched hose held together with electrical tape; electrical tape used to hold the bulb holder of a bedside lamp together; and an very strong smell of damp. We own an 18th century cottage and appreciate that whilst a certain level of dampness is to be expected within a property of this age the level within St Gabriel’s was excessive. The bedding felt constantly 'damp' and clammy, clothes felt damp when left out overnight and a leather handbag strap went mouldy inside of a week. Not to mention the effect on bread and other perishable food. I’m not sure whether there was an extended duration between the previous guests and ourselves but the smell was very strong and the walls visibly damp. Crumbs in the breadbin, a half-finished bottle of open ketchup, hair in the shower and general grit/grass on the floor on arrival suggested a lacklustre approach to cleaning. There should be mention of the smaller-than-standard-double sized bed which even without a pregnant wife was completely unsuitable in this day and age; it felt like the desire to cram two bedside tables in had led to that decision yet in reality all that happened when you decided to try not sleeping on your side was that you ended up headbutting one of the very sharp corners. That said, it was a nice week and the cottage is in a wonderful setting.

This gorgeous cottage has been a perfect place to spend our family Christmas.

We already had great memories of the Lyme Regis and Bridport areas and now we have found this incredible hamlet with St Gabriels Cottage where we'd love to enjoy future family times. We have found everything we could have needed here at St Gabriels Cottage.

What a hidden gem St Gabriels is!

We all thoroughly enjoyed our ''off grid'' stay here in Dorset. The walks were beautiful and we lucked out with full sunny days. Our first time in this part of the world - we will definitely be back. The quiet evenings were just what we needed.

Such a beautiful "Away-from-it-all" Cottage.

We've had a wonderful week and return to the realities of the "real" world with lots of happy memories and a strong feeling of loss.

What a wonderful retreat.

Wish we could stay longer. Only 2 days away from London + Now completely relaxed.The cottage has everything we needed. Next time we will book for a week.

Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The cottage is just perfect and really cosy! We'll definitely come back - would love to see the place in the summer.

This is our second stay at St.

Gabriel's Cottage, having had a fabulous Easter break last year we were thrilled to repeat it again this year We look forward to coming back again - maybe in a different season to see how this beautiful spot changes.Thanks again for letting us and so many other families enjoy this precious spot!

What a glorious few days at St Gabriel's.

We couldn't have wanted a more picture perfect cottage bathed in sunshine, for a few days away from <<modern life>>

The whole fortnight has been brilliant.

One of the best ever. Obscenely relaxing and we've loved every minute.

Our first visit to this wonderful, magical and peaceful place.

We will be back.

What a lovely cottage to spent the perfect week in nature.

Birds, cows, sheep and the sea one step away but still not far from London. Thank you for allowing us to stay at this wonderful place.

What a beautiful cottage, evocative of a byegone era.

Thoroughly enjoyed our short stay.

Thanks for the opportunity to stay in St Gabriel's Cottage.

We loved being in the middle of nowhere (almost).

For a first taste of Dorset, you can't do better than a lovely thatched cottage in the middle of the natural beauty.

We felt so well in the house and garden!

Thank you for sharing this gorgeous location and cosy cottage with us.

It was a week to remember !

Our third consecutive Easter weekend at St Gabriel's Cottage was lovely.

It is always wonderful to reset from regular day-to-day life in Dorset and we feel fully restored and relaxed after a long weekend here.

With 3 reluctant teenagers we have loved our modern society detox.

They watched DVD's, played and talked!

We are glad that we've had the possibility to stay in this jewel.

Thank's for all

We have had a lovely and quiet break in this romantic environment.

Perfect to calm down, enjoy nature and the beautiful coastline.

How lucky are we!

We've walked passed this Cottage so many times. Absolute favorite area to visit made even more special being able to stay here.

What a lovely stay we've had!

The best part has been the quiet time in the cottage playing « Happy family ». Have had the most wonderful time and would love to come back.
