The house was great for us and a dog. Lovely location, about 15mins walk to West Bay harbour. Bridport is also about the same distance. The house is very well equipped with all the essentials. Comfortable beds! Would book this again for sure.

A gracious house with lots of space both inside and outside-, so lovely to return to at the end of a busy day. The games room was a real bonus and the garden was secure for both the children and our dog. The kitchen and indeed the whole house was very well equipped A real home from home.

Sensitively upgraded 1930s house, retaining many original features. Particularly loved the tiled hall and original staircase. Overall, spacious and comfortable, a pleasant walk away from West Bay Harbour and its amenities, and a great open garden with superb views.

Cotley is an excellent holiday home! We couldn't fault it at all. It's a beautiful house set in amazing grounds which were brilliant for our children and dog to explore. The house has everything you could need to feel comfortable and lovely beds, which we're always fussy about!

I think spare bin bags for the bins are important, plus the caddy bags there is only 1. if you are cooking yourself its difficult to recycle the food. blankets for downstairs would be good so you can cuddle up as it was cold when we were there.

We just spent a lovely 5 days at Cottley, despite the weather. Comfy, spacious cottage for 6 of us. Well equipped kitchen. Fabulous garden for the kids. The games room was a real hit with the boys, especially the foosball/airhockey/pool table! And the icing on the cake was the log burner while the rain poured outside!

Our second visit and hope to be back again next year. Cotley is cosy and comfortable. 1930s features are interesting and unusual. House has a relaxing atmosphere, allows you to switch off completely. Lovely views down to West Bay and surrounding hills. Lots of good places to eat out especially the fish and chips!!!
