Bridport stay

Not enough outdoor space to relax. Not suitable if taking a dog. Would only recommend for a short stay. TV didn't work well and was very small. Easy walking distance to Bridport.

The Cabin

I phoned the host (Julia) when i was half an hour away. They came out to meet me and showed me in. She showed me where everything was. I had her number in case i needed something. The accomodation was spotless, lots of info regarding taxis etc. I was there for a wedding but wish i booked an extra couple of days. Can highly recommend this accommodation. Lovely hosts.

Excellent location. Ideal accommodation for 2 + dog.

We spent a very relaxing 5 days at Paul & Julia's garden studio, we took our dog Barney too who also had a great time. The studio was in an ideal location, close to shops and pubs and a short drive to some lovely beaches, all which had dog friendly sections, Barney had two swims. Had a lovely meal in The Olive Tree restaurant on the high street and would highly recommend. So glad we decided to ditch going abroad this year as we got the beginning of the heat wave. The studio was very well equipped and very comfortable, lovely comfortable bed and had the best night's sleep. We were very grateful for the many complimentary goodies. Julia and Paul were great hosts and very friendly and welcoming. If we could be promised the same weather next year we'd be back in a hurry.

A lovely property with everything uou could wish for. Hosts were very helpful and friendly, the chalet was private and in a great location, few minutes walk to all shops, restaurants and pubs. The chalet itself was such a high standard with so many little extras, very clean throughout and everything you could need in the kitchen and bathroom, high quality complimentary continental breakfast with organic food, teas, coffee etc. TV with bonus of Netflix etc. Highly recommend!

This was a good holiday property with plenty of room for the two of us. The location was quiet and peaceful with shops nearby and West Bay, Lyme Regis. Poole etc within easy reach by car. There is on-street parking which was quite busy but we did always find a space close by. Helpful and caring hosts.

About the host

Hosted by Julia Williams

Host profile image
Julia and Paul came to Bridport in 2010, Paul is an artist and yoga teacher and Julia a natural health therapist and also a yoga and movement teacher. We found this character listed property that was once a ropemakers cottage; the past trade of Bridport supplying rope for the ships at West Bay from flax and hemp grown locally. Our garden is a joy, apple trees and mistletoe overlooking our converted stable/studio where we now teach yoga and my therapy spa room. We moved here with our rather aging dog hector, a lab cross who loved his river walks and hikes up the hills. The outbuildings from our home lead onto our summerhouse, now your accommodation, it feels rather like being by the seaside with the gulls overhead and an added touch of the nautical! We enjoy Bridport and hope you will too.

Why they chose this property

We found this property and it had all we were looking for, outbuildings, a large garden full of English country flowers and beautiful magnolia. It is located just 2 minutes from the town centre and walkable to the sea the country route on a fine day. Hector our dog loved it, he enjoyed river swims and views across to the sea from the top of neighbouring Allington Hill. From the town you see the hills in each direction, and the landmark Colmer Hill with distinctive trees on top. Bridport has a real sense of community and the music and art scene is very active.A great place for foodies, many famous chefs in the vicinity as well as excellent chefs in the many restaurants around town, with so much local fresh produce available it is a joy to eat and shop especially at the local farms shops .

What makes this property unique

Bridport market town is an ideal location to base oneself with easy access to shops, restaurants and entertainment whilst just a short drive to the coast. While staying at the Garden Studio why not take a break, enjoy a relaxing massage right at your doorstep or enjoy a yoga class to start your day, or to stretch after a long drive. A perfect combination especially if you love to walk the coast or are keen cyclists touring the area, we can offer that little extra. Cotton robes and beach towels can be provided and a welcoming tea and in season maybe some Dorset apple cake will greet you on arrival. All bedding is crisp cotton and natural shower and hand products are provided. You can travel light as we provide all those extras we all love to have on holiday.
