The West Country / Dorset region

West Dorset is an area of outstanding natural beauty, Thomas Hardy's Wessex and still a place of tranquility and a strong artistic heritage. The Coastline around Chideock has been designated a World Heritage site and is a haven for fossil hunters

The Bridport area

Bridport has always had unconventional and individual roots. It holds one of the first royal charters, was a ferment for non conformism. it still retains this independence with the market being compared to Notting Hill on sea.

“Fantastic farmhouse in beautiful unspoilt countryside” We had a hugely enjoyable long weekend at North End farmhouse with friends to celebrate a 30th birthday. The farmhouse has a generous amount of living space for the number of people it accommodates, including a large kitchen and a huge dining table, a snug/TV room with a large log burner and a large flat screen TV and DVD player; perfect for keeping warm and entertained on cold evenings. The farmhouse also has a larger more formal long room including comfy seating and a games area along with an original open fire place. 4 of the 5 bedrooms have beautiful views overlooking the surrounding countryside – an amazing sight to wake up to! Because it was December we didn't make much use of the garden, but there was a large BBQ which would make the garden a nice place to hang out in warmer weather. The weather was relatively mild for mid-December (around 10 degrees C), but the AGA and the central heating kept the house plenty warm enough for us. With the exception of the owner's property, which is attached to the farmhouse, and a small house just behind the farm, there are hardly any other buildings in sight, and the farmhouse gives direct access to footpaths for hiking. We really enjoyed the freedom to go out for a walk before breakfast, and in the afternoons took the opportunity to go down to Seatown, just 10 minutes drive away, to go for a clifftop walk and sample the beer in the Anchor Inn - what a spectacular location for a pub. Eddie was very accommodating, and made sure that we knew where everything was and what to do if we needed anything or had any problems. Once he'd shown us around, he left us to our own devices and we didn't really see him until it was (sadly) time to leave. His instructions to get to the farm were very good - it really is off the beaten track. The only slight downside to the property was that some of the mattresses were a bit soft for our liking (particularly in the main bedroom) - but that is a personal preference, and the next person might disagree. However, the quilts and bedding was all beautifully comfortable. We also had some trouble logging on to the wi-fi in the farmhouse, but we were quite glad to escape it all, so we didn't try to resolve this issue. I would definitely recommend Northend Farmhouse as a great place for friends or family gatherings.

“Great weekend in the country” A few friends and I stayed for a long weekend at Northend Farmhouse to celebrate an upcoming wedding and was very impressed. The location was great - quite a private location, but several pubs a walk away and also walking distance to the beach. Plenty of space in the house to relax - two large living rooms (including a mini snooker table) and kitchen / dining room. We were able to have a barbecue outside one afternoon and a roast dinner in the AGA the next day. Very impressed with the beer from the micro-brewery too. Would definitely be happy to stay again in the future.

“Great fun Christmas break in Dorset” Really spacious property for our group of 11. Comfortable beds and nice big table for group meals together. Snooker table (5ft) was well used by all ! Good location near to West bay beach - and half hour drive to East Devon beaches as well.
