Dorset Cottage in Bilshay Farmhouse Symondsbury Estate Symondsbury, Bridport, DT6 5HR

About Dorset Cottage

Dorset Cottage is a detached farmhouse tucked away along a quiet lane in Bridport, Dorset. This spacious country retreat offers stunning views across rolling fields and sits just 1.5 miles from town. Perfect for large families or groups looking to escape the daily grind without completely losing touch with civilization. Whoever designed this accommodation knew exactly what they were doing.

The location is spot on. Set in the gorgeous Dorset countryside with walking trails right from the doorstep. The Jurassic Coast is a short drive away, as are Lyme Regis and Abbotsbury Swannery. The nearby village (10 minutes by car) has a pub, café and farm shop for essentials. You'll never run out of things to do - unless that's exactly what you want.

The farmhouse sleeps 9 guests across 4 flexible bedrooms. There's a super-king zip-link room with en-suite, a triple room with super-king plus single (also en-suite) and two king-size zip-link rooms. The main bathroom features a bath with hand-held shower and separate shower cubicle. Downstairs you'll find a cosy sitting room with wood burner, dining room with open fire and fully equipped kitchen with range oven.

Visit Lyme Regis (20 miles, 35 minutes), explore Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens (12 miles, 25 minutes), discover West Bay (3 miles, 10 minutes), or wander the shops in Bridport (1.5 miles, 5 minutes). The Jurassic Coast with its fossil-hunting beaches is just a short drive away.

Dorset Cottage is ideal for multi-generational gatherings. Kids will go wild for the trampoline and table tennis while adults soak in the hot tub with a favourite drink. Let's be honest - who doesn't want to sip wine in a bubbling hot tub while gazing at countryside views?

Dorset Cottage Reviews

Laura

We had a fantastic time at this charming old farmhouse. It's really cosy and warm, perfect for a relaxing break. The views across the fields are stunning and super peaceful. The hot tub was a real highlight, even in November we made good use of it! Plus, the trampoline was a nice surprise. Great spot, not far from the coastand we'd happily return anytime. Really loved it!

Sam

We had such a lovely stay! The view was absolutely stunningand the house itself was really comfortable. Switching all the beds to singles was a big bonus for us. The garden was perfect with the hot tub, trampolineand ping pong - kids loved it! The slope meant no cricket, but plenty of football instead. Walking to the pub is possible, but often it's closed on the way back, so most places are a car ride away. Dorset truly is a beautiful county with peaceful spots if you explore a bit.

Emma Carter

Lovely cosy cottage with stunning views, ample parkingand peaceful surroundings.

Oliver

We stayed at this lovely farmhouse and loved how spacious it was. The bedrooms were super comfyand the kitchen had all the essentials plus some nice welcoming touches. The big round dining table was perfect for meals, though a bit large for board games. The hot tub with that stunning view is a must-try, especially at sunset. Overall, a fantastic getaway!

James

We loved the location and the overall stay was really enjoyable. A few bits like the washing machine and cutlery holder need fixing, but it didn't ruin our holiday at all!

Emma Clarke

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage! The setting is stunning and peaceful, perfect for a relaxing weekend. The house itself is beautifully decorated and super cosy, especially on a chilly January day. The hot tub was a highlight, nice and warm, though a bit tricky to adjust. We did have some trouble with water pressure, which meant showers and flushing weren't always smooth, likely because of the rural location and spring-fed water. Still, overall a lovely place to unwind!

Emma

We loved the spacious house and the serene setting. Perfect for relaxing after long walks, especially with the hot tub! You'll need a car to really see the area or find somewhere to eat, but it's a lovely spot overall.
