Popular among fossil collectors, fishermen and families alike, Seatown is perfect for a long walk along the beach before breakfast. A short drive will bring you to the bustling town of Bridport, home to an array of independent shops, cafes and restaurants, perfect for stocking up on supplies. No trip to this part of Dorset is complete without a visit to the Broadchurch-famous West Bay, which is also known as the golden gateway to the stunning Dorset Jurassic Coast.

Three steps lead up to a stable door that opens into the stunning double aspect lounge/diner. With a tiled floor, stylish spotlights and fresh neutral decor, this is a charming room for dining and relaxing. In one corner, a cosy lounge area is furnished with comfortable leather sofas, a coffee table, Smart TV and stocked bookshelf, with a pine farmhouse dining table at the other. A bespoke kitchen beyond features a tiled floor, stylish units, gas oven and hob, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. Also on this floor is a modern shower room with tiled floor. Upstairs are two bedrooms, one double with exposed beam and elegant wrought-iron bed and one twin with a charming slanted ceiling and pretty cottage window.

Wonderful cottage. Very well equipped, and clean and tidy. The owners, Carroll and Simon, were very accommodating too. The little welcome package was a nice touch.

Absolutely fantastic stay, comfortable, spacious & with everything you could need whilst away. Close to everything and a short walk to the beach. Carroll & Simon were brilliant, welcoming us when we arrived & were around if we needed anything.

Mallards barn is a lovely holiday cottage set in an idyllic location. We had a wonderful week in Seatown and could not fault the barn. Simon and Carol were great hosts and have obviously been on self catered holidays themselves as they've thought of everything! The Prosecco, chocolates and biscuits on arrival were a particularly thoughtful touch. WRead moree will be back! Hide

The barn setting and location is perfect, and it is obvious the hosts have been diligent in setting up the barn to ensure it fulfils guests needs. Extra special touches of flowers on the table and in the garden is what makes this barn more appealing and attractive. Hosts were attentive but not obtrusive and their in-depth guests directory is so insRead moreightful of the area. Hide
