There is a well-equipped kitchen in a stylish open plan kitchen/diner/sitting room where everyone can kick back and unwind together over a lovingly prepared meal after a day’s discovery of the Jurassic Coast. Pebbles has three bedrooms; a King-size bedroom, a double bedroom with en-suite shower room, and a twin bedroom. With a mix of lawn and patio areas the garden is a wonderful and tranquil space to relax in.
Hive Beach which is a favourite for off shore sea bass fishing, fossil hunting, wind surfing, beach combing and magnificent cliff walks along with the acclaimed Hive Beach Cafe within a 5 minutes' walk you will discover. If you feel more energetic a brisk walk into the centre of Burton Bradstock provides you all the delights of one of Dorset's most beautiful picture postcard villages. Old stone cottages with thatched roofs, hollyhocks and roses around the cottage doors complete the picture. Peaceful river walks and a choice of two traditional pubs which offer a variety of food and a good stock of local beverages will enhance your holiday. For your everyday needs the local shop stocks everything you might want and is open late. The local post office sells a variety of souvenirs and local produce.
West Bay, with its busy harbour, and the bustling market town of Bridport are both only a 10 minute car ride from your holiday home.
The ever popular resort of Weymouth makes an outstanding year-round holiday destination, with a wide variety of attractions on offer, appealing to all tastes and ages. The glorious golden sandy beach with its shallow waters provide excellent facilities for all kinds of watersports, whilst from the picturesque, bustling harbour you can take regular fishing trips. A short drive takes you to Portland Harbour, and the rugged “Isle” of Portland, linked to Weymouth by the dramatic Chesil Beach. Visit Dorchester, Thomas Hardy’s “Casterbridge”, only 7 miles away, or take a journey along the scenic coastal road and call in at Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens.

When asked for the remainder of the deposit, the email said I had authorised the amount to be debited to the card I had previously used so I did nothing. However, the next day I received another email saying I had 24 hours to pay, so I did. Two days later I discovered two payments had been debited so I tried for several hours to speak to someone at Dream Cottages/Dream Cottages on a number of phone numbers to no avail. I was later credited with one of the payments but it did nothing to relieve my frustration at not being able to speak to anyone, which I think was a poor service

Convenient for hive beach and other local attractions. Clean and homely with everything you need. Sorry the only bad thing was rubbish. These days it shouldn't be so inconvenient. No recycling at morrison were we took packaging,bottles, tin and plastic. No food waste disposal. The bottles we took home but sadly the rest went in the bin. Which the bin men don't take,presumably the cleaners take it. Still love to come back 1 day. Thanks

We had everything we needed but the cleanliness brought the holiday down. Cleaners were still there on arrival and whilst they had done a good top clean, there clearly hasnât been anyone there to do a deep clean for a while. For example, Cupboards and draw spaces not cleaned out, bugs have been squashed into the blinds over time and these have not been cleaned or replaced. Cobwebs on the ceiling that were definitely older than 24 hours and the sofa hasnât been cleaned either. There was too much excess stuff crammed into cupboard spaces which meant there was limitations on what items we could store whilst we were there too. It was a lovely place in principle to stay and we did enjoy our holiday but we did feel the need to keep cleaning things we shouldnât have to whilst being there. Also might be worth a warning notice for the garden about snakes, as the warm evenings was bringing them out to play!
