First floor accommodation boasting a 5ft wide four poster bed and views over the Dorset Downs.. All on the First Floor:
Living/dining room: Freeview TV, DVD Player
Kitchen: Electric Cooker, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher, Washer Dryer
Bedroom 1: Four Poster Kingsize (5ft) Bed

Bathroom: Bath With Shower Over, Toilet. Gas central heating included. Please note: No children.. All properties: Electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Private parking for 1 car. No smoking.. Lying in the charming village of Bothenhampton, Buzzards encapsulates that perfect combination of a tranquil rural setting close to a stunning coastline. Buzzards (ref 8235, first floor; Sweet Briar ref 8234, ground floor) is in the east wing of an old country house. This first floor apartment incorporates lovely features including a 5ft wide (king size) four-poster bed, large picture window, and high quality Sea Salt bedding. The fully fitted kitchen is well-equipped with a dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge, freezer and ceramic hob and oven. Featuring coastal influences throughout to reflect the wonderful location of the apartment, the rooms are tastefully decorated in cornflour white to combine a feeling of calm and freshness. Original paintings from local artists showcase the stunning area. After a day exploring the glorious World Heritage Jurassic Coast or strolling through the gorgeous countryside, chat and relax in the sitting room on a comfortable sofa with warm light provided by the lamps. From here you can look out through the picture window and enjoy the view of the hill behind the property and watch the wind in the trees and sun-dappled fields. If you are in luck, you might spot a buzzard swooping down across the fields, the apartment taking the name Buzzards after these impressive birds who frequent the area. From the picture window you can also watch hens roaming and enjoying the area.
Buzzards provides the perfect holiday base for experiencing the beauty and unique energy of Dorset. There’s something for everyone from wandering among the stalls at Bridport’s markets, Bridport’s Vintage Quarter, walking the famous South West Coast Path, swimming in the sea, fishing and crabbing at the harbour, and fossil hunting at nearby Charmouth. The area is rich in history and culture as exemplified by the local festivals, Iron Age hill forts, Bronze Age barrows, and the only thatched brewery which is nearby for you to visit. There is also a thriving local food and drinks scene which boasts a variety of award-winning dishes and drinks for you to savour and enjoy. For thrill-seekers jump aboard the Rib Charter boats or swing through the treetops at the Tunnel, Charmouth. There’s so much to explore from the local harbours and nearby Chesil Beach to the famous Cobb at Lyme Regis, and the renowned Abbotsbury Swannery and Sub-Tropical Gardens. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, now part of the National Landscapes, is truly unforgettable and Buzzards is the perfect location to create memories to last a lifetime.

This first floor two bedroomed apartment was very clean, well decorated and comfortable, light, airy and roomy. The hosts were friendly and helpful and the location was ideal for nearby coastal walks. The provision of a cream tea on arrival was a nice touch. Would definitely stay there again.

A lovely apartment rather than a cottage, very clean & comfortable, ideal base for exploring, great walks nearby, but no real immediate amenities, the local pub was around a 20 minute walk & the shops were about a 5 minute drive away, you probably wouldn't want to walk it carrying shopping bags etc, the kitchen could have been a little better equipped, especially if you want to cook a lot during your stay & having no access to a garden made it a little impractical with the dogs, but nothing that couldn’t be managed, overall a lovely place & would recommend for a self catering holiday.

Everything at Buzzards was excellent, but the WiFi in the upper apparent was occasionally marginal when tried with five different devices. It’s not important unless you have important work to do.
An excellent place to to relax and enjoy the countryside and Jurassic Coast. Paul and his wife are perfect hosts.
