About the host
Hosted by Julia Williams
Julia and Paul came to Bridport in 2010, Paul is an artist and yoga teacher and Julia a natural health therapist and also a yoga and movement teacher. We found this character listed property that was once a ropemakers cottage; the past trade of Bridport supplying rope for the ships at West Bay from flax and hemp grown locally. Our garden is a joy, apple trees and mistletoe overlooking our converted stable/studio where we now teach yoga and my therapy spa room. We moved here with our rather aging dog hector, a lab cross who loved his river walks and hikes up the hills. The outbuildings from our home lead onto our summerhouse, now your accommodation, it feels rather like being by the seaside with the gulls overhead and an added touch of the nautical! We enjoy Bridport and hope you will too.
Why they chose this property
We found this property and it had all we were looking for, outbuildings, a large garden full of English country flowers and beautiful magnolia. It is located just 2 minutes from the town centre and walkable to the sea the country route on a fine day. Hector our dog loved it, he enjoyed river swims and views across to the sea from the top of neighbouring Allington Hill. From the town you see the hills in each direction, and the landmark Colmer Hill with distinctive trees on top. Bridport has a real sense of community and the music and art scene is very active.A great place for foodies, many famous chefs in the vicinity as well as excellent chefs in the many restaurants around town, with so much local fresh produce available it is a joy to eat and shop especially at the local farms shops .
What makes this property unique
Bridport market town is an ideal location to base oneself with easy access to shops, restaurants and entertainment whilst just a short drive to the coast. While staying at the Garden Studio why not take a break, enjoy a relaxing massage right at your doorstep or enjoy a yoga class to start your day, or to stretch after a long drive. A perfect combination especially if you love to walk the coast or are keen cyclists touring the area, we can offer that little extra. Cotton robes and beach towels can be provided and a welcoming tea and in season maybe some Dorset apple cake will greet you on arrival. All bedding is crisp cotton and natural shower and hand products are provided. You can travel light as we provide all those extras we all love to have on holiday.
