Fantastic place to stay

My only fault is that we werent told that we couldnt drink the water before we arrived. Thankfully we always take water with us, so we were prepared. But for others that may have been an issue. But it was lovely and clean, hosts lovely and friendly. Sophie was a huge hit with my children and loved waking and opening the door to find her laying enjoying the sun. We will be back for sure.

A real gem! Close enough to Bridport to enjoy the coastal attractions but out of town enough to enjoy the delightful rural/bush setting. A quality, well run establishment AND pet friendly!PLUS, the opportunity to spend the twilight hours observing a platypus in the wild; just a short walk from our cottage.Just great, highly recommended!

Quiet country atmosphere, with facilities a short drive away.As we were holidaying and on the move constantly, we found the unit to be well appointed for a very relaxing time out.Owners were pleasant and helpful even down to the stock of firewood supplied outside your door. Also being a short drive away to the world class Barnboogle Dunes Golf course, the retreat becomes very attractive with the variety of group accommodation available.
