Excellent stay at this lovely site.
Bide Yer
We really had a lovely stay at Bide Yer and concur with the other very positive reviews here. The site has a wonderful view over the fields towards Bridport and the sea, there were bullocks in the next field while we were there and they are very entertaining! Our visit coincided with the Bridport Festival of Hats, which was fun and certainly worth a visit. We will definitely book to stay again when we are next in this area of Dorset.
Just perfect
Bide Yer
Meant to do this review as soon as we got back on Saturday 8th July, but other stuff got in the way! However, we must thank Alan and Gill for such a lovely stay. Their communication with us was terrific and we were welcomed by Alan as we arrived - he was working hard with his strimmer. Having personal water tap and grey waste drainage, as well as EHU, is always a big plus for us - hate having to use the aquaroll nowadays. Superb TV reception - didn't even have to reload channels. We're great fans of the Bridport area - only live less than an hour away - but looking out over some wonderful views and Colmers Hill was just delightful.
We don't usually eat out, preferring BBQs at the van, but as we were with friends, we decided to have an evening meal on our first evening. So lucky to be able to get a table at the Manor House Hotel in West Bexington - a really terrific restaurant in the conservatory with sea view and incredibly reasonably priced. Loads of things to do around the area - as an artist, I love Sladers Yard and Art Unlimited galleries, but all the fascinating stalls around the Customs House emporium in West Bay are definitely worth a visit.
Will definitely be back in the autumn/winter - just a great local getaway for us.
Lovely friendly site
Bide Yer
What can I say. The owners made us feel very welcome.All pitches had electric water and drainage which makes a visit so much easier. Local area has a lot to offer plus your only a drive away from some beautiful coast line .Very peaceful and very relaxing. The amenities kept nice and clean. The campsite over looks the rolling hills which makes for a pleasant view . Very nice site.
Peace and tranquility
Bide Yer
A well organised CL by Alan and Gillian. With water. electricity and grey water drainage to each pitch there was nothing else to clear away except the toilet and waste at the end of our stay. The view south across the countryside to the south was beautiful and we relaxed from our journey easily (despite a 1.5 hour delay due to a crash at the A34 / M3 junction).Access to the site from the north looks rather tight so I'd recommend approaching from the south via Bridport, after which there are only a couple of tight but easily managed points.
Bridport itself is a must see town with extensive markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays and a main street cafe culture if you want to watch the world go by. Further on is West Bay with a shingle beach and easy access to the Jurassic Coast.
Stunning cl
Bide Yer
