This small group of barn conversion cottages are now under new ownership and have been refitted to a high standard for the enjoyment of our guests. The cottages which comprise of Willow Cottage, three bedroom accommodating up to 6 people, Rose Cottage and Ivy Cottage two bedrooms accommodating 4 people each and Lavender cottage which has one bedroom for 2 people.
The Travellers Rest was formerly a farm and then a pub, set in nearly 5 acres of fields in rural Dorset. Situated on the A35 three miles from Bridport and 15 minutes drive from the beach. The cottages have panoramic views of the countryside, Golden Cap and the cliffs of the Jurassic Coast can be seen while enjoying a relaxing barbeque on the patios.
Hillview Cottages are easily accessed from all major towns and are on the coastal route across the South of England. The Jurassic Coast is just 15 minutes drive away, coastal walks, fishing, golf, horse riding and many more outdoor pursuits are within a five mile radius. Many more activities are on the doorstep. If your interests are in history or literature then these too are available, but if you just want to relax away the hours and recharge your batteries then there can be no better place to stay in Dorset.
All the cottages are fully equipped to cater for yourselves, each cottage has a bbq and outside seating so nothing could be simpler than to come back from a day at the beach to relax and watch the sunset. But if you want to eat out there are many fine village inns in the surrounding villages or Bridport 3 miles down the road has restaurants, hotels or take away facilities many of whom will deliver to to your door.
Be careful what you believe when you read these sites! My husband and I booked into Rose Cottage, one of the Hillview Cottages at the Traveller’s Rest, Bridport, this summer. Only after we had booked did we see a negative review on one of the sites regarding the cottages and caravans. Had we seen the review beforehand, we would not have booked! The result of that would have been to miss out on a fantastic week!! We would regard ourselves as quite fussy but we found everything about our stay in Rose Cottage to be of the highest standard – hygiene, cleanliness, facilities, privacy, helpfulness of the owners, quiet and peaceful. We had a fantastic time, and the cottages and caravans exist in perfect harmony, as far as we were concerned. And – unusually - the photographs on the owners’ website are a true representation of how the cottage actually is inside. We highly recommend – from two very fussy but very satisfied customers!
