Within 3 miles of the beach, this Grade II listed, thatched former barn offers spacious, very comfortable accommodation and a good range of facilities, including its own games room. Sympathetically converted and very well equipped, it has its own lawned area and patio, and is surrounded by lovely countryside. The ancient town of Bridport
(2 miles), once famous for its rope-making industry, was Thomas Hardy’s ‘Port Bredy’, and holds a twice-weekly market in its broad streets. At West Bay (3 miles) there are fishing trips and rowing boats for hire. At Seaton (6 miles), the lush Winniford Valley opens to an unspoilt beach of golden shingle, shelving steeply to sand at low tide. To the west of the beach, the Dorset Coast Path climbs to Golden Cap – at 626ft the highest point on the southern coast, with superb views along the coastline. The National Trust owns 2,000 acres of land here, offering 15 miles of footpaths for walkers. Ten miles away is the attractive seaside town of Lyme Regis. Jane Austen’s novel Persuasion gives a good picture of the town in the early 19th-century, and its history is displayed in the local museum. The ancient town of Dorchester (14 miles), built on the site of the Roman town, has much of historical interest: the remains of a Roman town house and a mosaic in Colliton Park, the old county court where the Tolpuddle Martyrs were tried, and Thomas Hardy’s study in the Dorset County Museum. Shops 2 miles.

The retreat is a really nice place to get away to.
The retreat is a really nice place to get away to. Mainly the indoor heated pool was great. If you decide to book please take 20 to 30 £1 coins and 20p's if you're planning on playing pool in their games room.

Absolutely fantastic! We took our son and daughter, there partners and four grandchildren yet there
Absolutely fantastic! We took our son and daughter, there partners and four grandchildren yet there was so much space. And the highlight was the amazing swimming pool. We all used it twice a day and had so much fun watching the little ones improve their confidence in the water and their swimming strokes.
The owners were really helpful with a couple of inconveniences (eg the fridge broke down but was fixed two days later and another one installed in the interim. Also a problem with one of the beds which was again replaced the very next day.
Overall had a brilliant time and would highly recommend The Retreat..perfect for families or groups of mates, I'd say.

The swimming pool was of a good size.
The swimming pool was of a good size.
There was a large field for the children to run around.
Most of the rooms were of a good size.
Kitchen was well appointed with plenty of storage space.
The layout was not really geared up for a toddler due to split levels on ground floor.
There were no stair gates provided and no cot only a travel cot which again was too small for a one year old and no safety straps in the highchair.
For future hirers, I used about £20 of electricity.
