    “The cottage and location are stunning, it was simply beautiful.”

    The welcome gifts were exceptional and gratefully received. Thank you. The cottage itself is very well equipped with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. One little thing we noticed was the settee and armchairs were a little bit uncomfortable and tired, however everything else is great. The location is great for accessing both Bridport and Lyme Regis and all the surrounding areas easily. Colmer’s Hill and Golden Cap are a must for beautiful walks with heavenly views at the ...

    The welcome gifts were exceptional and gratefully received. Thank you. The cottage itself is very well equipped with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. One little thing we noticed was the settee and armchairs were a little bit uncomfortable and tired, however everything else is great. The location is great for accessing both Bridport and Lyme Regis and all the surrounding areas easily. Colmer’s Hill and Golden Cap are a must for beautiful walks with heavenly views at the end. The cottage is also great for dogs with a lovely, safe field just up the path from the cottage. We had an amazing time and we loved every minute. We would definitely recommend Church Cottage.

About the location

WHITCHURCH CANONICORUM

Bridport 5.4 miles.

Referred to as the capital of the Marshwood Vale, Whitchurch Canonicorum is an attractive mix of farms and cottages. Whitchurch Canonicorum is where you can find the very ancient church of St. Candida and the Holy Cross. It is unique in being the only parish church in England to contain the remains of an ancient saint. There is a well nearby, also named after the Saint, which is also rumoured to have similar healing properties. The attractive market town of Bridport grew up around the River Brit and was shaped by its extensive history of rope and net making. The long, wide streets and alleyways between the houses were once where the flax strands were twisted into rope, while today those streets are filled with an interesting variety of shops, restaurants and inns.

Note: Those with younger children should be aware of the garden stream, supervision may be required.
Note: Bedrooms are all linked with no separate access. Upstairs bathroom is accessed via bedrooms 1 and 2. Note: short staircase with no handrail
