Uploders is a quaint little village with the bustling town of Bridport only a short distance where you will find a good selection of shops and restaurants. Carry on along the coast from here and you can immerse yourself in Dorset’s breath-takingly beautiful Jurassic coast and check out the wealth of captivating beaches and bays. Lyme Regis is a short but scenic drive and has its own collection of amenities as well as a museum and an aquarium, well worth a visit while you’re in the area. A little further afield but definitely worth taking in are the village of Charmouth, Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary, Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, West Bay and Seaton Tramway with its scenic tram that takes you from Seaton to Colyton. For the romantic break of a lifetime, make sure The Stone Barn is on your bucket list.
The attractive market town of Bridport grew up around the River Brit, and was shaped by its extensive history of rope and net making. The long, wide streets and alleyways between the houses were once where the flax strands were twisted into rope, while today those streets are filled with an interesting variety of shops, restaurants and inns. Bridport’s market is regularly featured on the River Cottage TV programme. 2 miles south of Bridport is the dramatic Jurassic coast at West Bay, now a World Heritage Site, home to the backdrop for TV's Harbour Lights and the coastal setting for popular Broadchurch, whilst the picturesque resort of Lyme Regis is within 10 miles. A superb base for exploring wonderful West Dorset.

Perfect for a retreat away from the hustle and bustle of normal life, but easy to get to other places via car. Hosts are very welcoming and we couldn't fault the facilities.
