About Dorset Thatch

Dorset Thatch is a stunning three-bedroom thatched cottage just 1.5 miles from Bridport in beautiful Dorset. This traditional country property with modern luxuries sits in a peaceful rural setting where you'll occasionally spot a passing horse or tractor, but little else to disturb your holiday bliss.

The countryside location offers direct access to wonderful walking routes right from your doorstep. West Bay and the magnificent Jurassic Coast are minutes away by car. Perfect for beach days and coastal hikes with Burton Bradstock and other gorgeous bays nearby. After exploring, return to your secluded garden for a glass of something cold. It's the kind of place where "I'll just check my work emails" becomes impossible due to the refreshingly poor WiFi – a blessing in disguise!

The accommodation features three bedrooms – two super-king-size with en-suite shower rooms and one super-king zip-and-link that can be arranged as twins. There's a family bathroom with shower over bath plus a downstairs WC. The kitchen boasts a range-style oven and the living area has a wood burner with logs included. Outside you'll find a games barn with table tennis.

Visit Symondsbury Estate's shops and café (minutes away), explore Bridport's shops (1.5 miles), enjoy Hive Beach Café's fantastic food, or discover Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens (15 minutes' drive). West Bay, made famous as the setting for Broadchurch, offers dramatic cliffs and beaches just 10 minutes away.

Soak in your private hot tub under the stars after days of adventure. Dorset Thatch is ideal for families or three couples wanting countryside tranquility with coastal access.

Dorset Thatch Reviews

Sue
The cottage was very comfortable and well furnished. Highlights were the hot tub and Table Tennis. Enjoyed by both children and grown ups. Phone signal and WiFi extremely poor.
Fleur
We had a nice week here at the Thatch cottage. We were so lucky with the weather as it was warm and sunny. The garden is a dream - absolutely loved the outdoor space and to have lots of places to sit and relax. We visited nearby places (the beach at West Bay, Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, Forde Abbey). Fab food at The Hive Beach Cafe and the SymoRead morendsbury Cafe. As small negatives, the wifi is very slow, the beds weren't as comfortable as we were hoping and the lane was busier than expected.

Julia
We returned for our 2nd visit to Dorset Thatch. The weather wasn't as nice as last year but the games barn came into its own. Many a table tennis tournament was played and the table football was very popular with my grandsons. Thank you for another amazing week.
Tanya
Beautiful cottage in a quiet location with only the occasional tractor or horse going by. Direct walks out through wonderful countryside. Jacuzzi was amazing and a treat despite the cold snap.

The cottage is exceptional. It is well equipped and in good condition. There is ample room for 6 adults. The sitting room is very comfy and has a wood burning stove, for which there was a full log basket when we arrived. There was a welcome hamper in the kitchen. The Symondsbury Estate cafe and shops are a few minutes drive away. There is plenty ofRead more parking space and an external games room. We spent an extremely wet New Year there and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Hide

Rachael
Fabulous cottage in a beautiful location. So many walks available from the cottage. The hot tub was fabulous especially on the clear nights when we sat star watching. The fire is a beast, certainly a thing of beauty when ablaze. The welcoming bread and coffee was a lovely touch. We had everything we wanted for a peaceful break .
Elizabeth
A beautiful house, exceptionally well equipped. The bedrooms are all suitable for adults and the kitchen is a great space to all get together for mealtimes. The hot tub is lovely - even if the hot weather meant it was almost too hot for us to use! Easy to access visitor attractions across Dorset and we thoroughly recommend the cafe and shops on theRead more Symondsbury Estate. Can't recommend this holiday house enough. Hide
Pauline
Lovely cottage with a beautiful garden in a wonderful location. Our family had an amazing holiday.
Paul
Cottage was amazing, facilities were amazing. Loved the hot tub and really appreciated the groceries when we arrived.
Sarah
We had a lovely weeks stay at Dorset Thatch. The cottage & garden are both beautiful and the location was great, so quiet and rural but with easy access to bridport and beaches. Coffee outside in the morning listening to the birds was idyllic with plenty of space for our 2.5 year old to play. We did leave some feedback directly with the owners rela ting to housekeeping improvements but overall a lovely stay and we would definitely go back.
Julia
An utterly lovely and private detached cottage with everything we needed for a relaxing break. Beautiful walks and a peaceful location. The garden was also great for the dog - she was quite disappointed when we got home!
Dee
The cottage is in a super location with pretty gardens, peaceful and relaxing yet only a short drive to the nearest town and the coast. We (6 adults) found the cottage itself to be immaculate, spacious and comfy and spent our first 15 minutes checking the delightful rooms and sayingWow! The extra facilities such as the hot tub are a real bonus. All the Symondsbury staff are courteous and helpful. Wed thoroughly recommend a stay in this lovely cottage.
