Stay With Us

Our Grade II listed Georgian House has been lovingly re-imagined as a calm, stylish, and wonderfully welcoming retreat. Each room has its own individual character, from the charming rooms tucked into the eaves at the top of the house to the effortlessly elegant spaces on the first floor.

Throughout the house, you’ll find carefully chosen antique and vintage treasures sourced from Bridport’s much-loved local emporiums and markets, adding warmth and personality at every turn. Guests can unwind in crisp, high-quality cotton bedding, wrap up in fluffy towelling bathrobes, and enjoy a generous hospitality tray featuring local treats.

Every room is thoughtfully equipped with a Nespresso machine, an iron and ironing board, and even an umbrella—just in case—so you can relax and feel completely at home.
