| Mark and Joanna Donovan used to work in TV and fashion respectively, but changed their lives when they stayed at the this charming 13th century former clergy house (complete with priest's hole) and heard it was for sale. They bought it and breathed new life into it, revamping the bathrooms and decorating the bedrooms with a stylish mix of traditional, contemporary and eclectic touches to suit all tastes, while retaining the excellent Linda Paget as chef. Just the place for a cosy or romantic weekend in Hardy Country. Great family suite too. |

BridgeHouse is exactly what it says….a house on a bridge. With its beautiful walled garden, the hotel remains at the heart of Beaminster - one of the most perfectly sited of all Dorset towns. Deep in Thomas Hardy’s Wessex, the hotel is also on the doorstep of a World Heritage Site - The Jurassic Coast, with its 95 miles of unspoilt coast, crammed with 185 million years of fossil history. An ideal location for walking holidays in Dorset, BridgeHouse shares the same stretch of the River Brit made famous by Channel 4’s ‘River Cottage’ series and is surrounded by some of Dorset’s most spectacular countryside.
