The Cider Press
The Cider Press is our place in Watton, just outside Bridport. It's a barn we converted from the 1870s. It's detached, so you're not sharing any walls. You'll have the garden to yourselves, it's enclosed.
The layout is upside down. You come in on the ground floor where the bedrooms are, then you go upstairs to the main living space. That's where the kitchen, dining area, and sitting room are. It's got a high vaulted ceiling with the old beams, and wooden floors. We find it feels quite spacious up there.
It sleeps seven in four bedrooms. There's one bathroom and an extra ground floor wet room, which is useful. The beds are comfortable and we use feather and down duvets and pillows. The stairs are the original barn stairs, so they're steep and a bit uneven. We've fitted a stairgate at the top.
You're down a quiet lane surrounded by fields. There are footpaths straight from the door. If you walk across the fields, you can get to the coast at Eype in about twenty five minutes. By car it's five minutes to the beach at Eype or into West Bay.
West Bay is the proper working harbour. It's got the dramatic cliffs, a few pubs and places to eat, and you can get boat trips from there. It's a good base for walking the coastal path. The Jurassic Coast site has maps and information about fossils and geology.
Within half an hour's drive you've got Lyme Regis one way and Weymouth the other. There's golf at Bridport, fishing, and riding stables nearby. The National Trust has quite a few properties along this coast if you're looking for a day out.
For facilities: there's parking for two cars, WiFi, a TV, washing machine, dishwasher, and a BBQ. We can provide a cot and highchair. You can bring up to two dogs. Bedding and towels are included.
