Beautiful course, in great condition and very reasonably priced when playing with a member. Friendly staff in the pro shop and restaurant. Recent rain has greened it up a lot and the course is well maintained. Some cracking views of the Jurassic coast, not an easy course if the wind is blowing, which it often is.

Played it in early Oct., course was brilliant, ocean view on several of the holes, rolling hills, sheep & livestock in the backdrop. Course didn't really look that hard, but with the wind it sure did play that way. Lots of deep rough to avoid, a few stone walls to avoid, greens were in good condition. Will definitely want to play again when back over next year. Worth the trip.

Warm welcome, fab breakfast and service (we’ll forget the coffee spillage lol). Great course in excellent condition, tight fairways with some challenging par 3s, the signature 8th is great! Greens ran well and are all challenging in various degrees. And what about the views. A gem of a course, for £30… bargain! Will return!

A real gem of a golf course. Played a society day with some of the members here at Bridport and west Dorset golf club, and I must say what a lovely lovely club. Members were so welcoming and friendly, the bar staff were great too. The course itself played very well, greens were fantastic, a very picturesque course with a mixture of challenging holes, obviously links style with some blind shots and tricky slopes just off the green, but forgiving enough that wayward tee shots have a chance of being found! My highlight was shooting a birdie 3 on the stroke index 1 15th, then bombing a drive on 16th, 4 of the best series of shots I hit all summer, followed by 4 of the worst strokes I’ve hit for a while to blob the 16th hole😅 The meal afterwards was amazing too. Compliments to the chef and his team! Thanks again for Alan and Kevin for showing me the way on the day:) absolute gentlemen.

Nice course, greens in great condition, (unlike my swing!) Was hosted by the seniors section and was given a very warm welcome. A wonderful day !

Absolutely superb roast carvery, meat was cooked to perfection, sides were so flavoursome, the host Sally was attentive and friendly and the carver Robin was organised and knew how to slice 😁, definitely recommend...very fair pricing as well ♥️

Played three rounds here this week and enjoyed them immensely (despite being held up by 2x4 ball groups during my first round). The views from the cliff top section of the course are absolutely stunning (16th tee was overlooking where I stayed). The stunning par 3 6th hole was a joy to play and was visually perfect. Although the course was in great condition I’ve only given it 4* due to the greens being recently scarified (time of year, not a criticism) so they weren’t running true. A big thanks to the warm welcome I received from the pro shop staff, the clubhouse staff and some of the members I came across on the course. I look forward returning to BWGC in the near future, again a big thanks to all.

Had lunch at the Hive Beach Cafe . Absolutely one of the tastiest dishes I’ve eaten in a very long time . I had the mackerel and it was sooooo good. Staff were friendly , personable and the location is great. Definitely recommend and would go back in a heartbeat ( I’m g/ f too so it was an extra treat to have such good food ).

Hive Beach in Dorset is an absolute gem. Nestled along the Jurassic Coast, it offers stunning views with its mix of sandy and shingle beach, backed by dramatic cliffs. It's an ideal spot for nature lovers and fossil hunters, with the South West Coast Path providing beautiful walks along the coastline. It’s also dog-friendly and has good facilities, including parking. While the beach can be a bit steep in places and the cliffs can be unstable, it’s still a fantastic spot for a day out. Whether you’re after a peaceful retreat or an outdoor adventure, Hive Beach delivers both.

Beautiful beach, and very clean. Enjoyable long walks along the sea or on top of cliffs, both directions. Parking and cafes are available nearby.

Favourite place to be in the world. Perfect for families, Perfect for couples with pets. Once you park up you don't necessarily need to touch the car again. Plenty to do, plenty to see. Beautiful walks and scenery. Just Perfect holiday town

We visited this fantastic beach last week. It stretches for miles in both directions and the sea views and cliff faces are breathtaking. A really great place to visit for a long walk, combined with some fossil hunting. There's a very popular cafe and plenty of parking, which is free for NT members. Well worth a visit and much more accessible than nearby West Bay.

Nice beach and cliffs. Amazing view from the top of the cliff.

Serene and soul searching place at the far end of Chesil Beach. Beach itself is shingle so a bit easier to do the paths rather than the Beach unless you are up for some decent exercise.

Absolutely love visiting here. Very lucky to have friends who own a lodge and allow me to visit. The site is immaculately kept, peaceful and with a lovely dog walking area too. Short walk to the beach and easy drive into Bridport and surrounding areas.

My friends and I spent the most amazing time here. It was so peaceful and relaxing. A 5 minute walk to the beach led to an amazing restaurant. I can't rate Larkfield highly enough!!

The parcel is wonderful, fantastic properties, extremely well kept area. The side is hidden away but only a 10 minute walk to the beautiful Hive beach ⛱.

Amazing food here , and very busy vut good servive well recommended.

A beautiful owners-only park located in the sought-after village of Burton Bradstock, just a 5 minute walk from the beach, village pubs, farm shops and the coast path. Larkfield is a small and intimate park with privately owned Caravan and Lodge Holiday Homes for sale. There is a new Lodge Development called ‘Jurassic Retreat‘ with luxury 2 and 3 bedroom bespoke Lodge Holiday Homes for sale with a 46 week season. The park is located on the Jurassic Coast Road between Bridport and Weymouth. good place for tourists.

Lovely lodge great place to stay in a very beautiful part of the world. So many places to visit and fabulous walks

a very nicely run site. easy to relax In with spacious areas and still not far from the sea and lovely countryside

We stayed over the Bank Holiday weekend and had a very pleasant stay. The pitch is flat, access is very easy, and the washrooms are exceptionally clean. It's a good location—just a 30-minute walk to the beach via a footpath (we got the map from the information point on the campsite). We had no issues at all. A truly lovely place for camping. ⛺️ 🏕️

Touring caravan visitors: Excellent holiday park, generous level pitches. Spotlessly clean facilities and friendly staff. Pleasant walks by the small river & excellent dog exercise field (ensures the site is popular with dog owners). Facilities are slightly distant from furthest touring field... otherwise would be 5*++

Lovely peaceful site. Perfect for walking into Burton Bradstock and the beach. We already loved this area anyway, and to find this site was great. Lovely farm shop not far away, which was really well stocked despite being quite small. All staff on site very helpful and informative. Would definitely stay again. We stayed on a electric gravel pitch in our motorhome, nice touch that there were benches and table everywhere on site.

An excellent camping and caravanning site near Bridport, Dorset. Quiet and dog friendly. Good facilities kept clean and in good order. A pretty rural site with large flat pitches and unusually a choose any vacant pitch policy on arrival. No club house so won't suit everybody but two excellent local pubs and a restaurant are within easy walking distance even for us oldies.

Second stay for us at this beautiful, peaceful site. We had a gravel pitch this time with plenty of space and our own picnic table and bench. Facilities are excellent and spotlessly clean. Lovely setting within easy walking distance of the gorgeous village of Burton Bradstock and the excellent beach and Hive cafe.

We went into the meadow, very tranquil, great access to dog walking area and stream side. Easy walk into Burton Bradstock, simple connection to bus services to Bridport and West Bay. Particularly enjoyed our walk to Bredy Farm and the Parlour restaurant. This is such a nice site, very well kept, extremely clean and well maintained shower blocks and amenities. This trip was outside of the school holidays which is our preferred holiday option.

Stayed for 2 nights in our motorhome. Pitches are a generous size and most are flat. The facilities were spotless and staff very friendly. Just a shame that there were not many of us there. About 10 min walk to the village via a river walk and a further 10 mins to Hive beach. Would recommend providing you are prepared to walk as nothing on the site, except the reception stocking basic foods.

What a great afternoon! The guide is one of a small team that's involved in the brewing process, he was very informative. It was nice to see how beer was made way back when, and how subtle changes have been made for today's market. The tour also included the local history, of the family owned brewery and how it interacted with Bridport. The tasting session, after the tour, gave an opportunity to taste all the beers and purchase samples from the factory shop. I would thoroughly recommend.

My wife and I were holidaying in the area and noticed that Palmers do tours. A rainy day so we decided to book, easily done online. The 2pm tour was booked. There were 6 in our group and our tour guide was Andy. A fascinating insight into the brewing of their beer, brewing, the ingredients, and a little history of the, brewery, and the town of Bridport was given by our guide. The tour is in a working brewery so care is taken where necessary with high viz vests given out to you. The tour has some steep steps to negotiate so make sure that you are agile enough. The tour lasted approximately 2 hours. You finish the tour in the wine store where you are given free samples of their ales and ciders. The shop is well stocked if you should wish to take home some of their excellent products or wine, spirits etc. A great way to spend a rainy day, or a sunny day for that matter.

Did the tour with my mum last week on Thurs 11th. We've been visiting Bridport for years as a family, but had never been to Palmers. Had wanted to do it since last year, and I think the rain this year helped us go ahead and book! So glad we did. So interesting and eye opening about the whole process. Our guide Dave was absolutely brill and his knowledge about Palmers and the brewing process was faultless. So lovely to learn more about the history of our beloved Bridport :)

Visiting Bridport with our family for the week and had to try the brewery tour. Graeme our tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. It was fascinating and a wonderful use of an afternoon. Trying all the beers at the end was of course the best bit. We will definitely be going to the Palmers pubs in the area whilst we're here.

The Palmers Brewery Tour was excellent - as it provided a unique opportunity to see a real life working brewery situated within a characterful Grade I listed building. Our friendly tour guide demonstrated an exceptionally high level of knowledge of the brewing process. We enjoyed sampling the full range of Palmers beers at the end of the tour! Highly recommended.

There were 4 of us celebrating 60th's and what a great 2 hours it was! David, our guide was very knowledgeable and to see the process from start to finish - well I have the utmost respect for beer making! I have been on other tours, and I have to say this was the most informative. The tasting session at the end was very generous and we had a wonderful cycle home.

What a great tour. Ian Scott was great very friendly and so informative. Then to top off such a great tour you get to taste all the beer's, just a sip for me as I was driving, but that was ok as I got to buy my favourite to go in my new glass. The price is amazing too

Great local history museum. Small, but densely packed with interesting and interactive exhibits on the agricultural, industrial and geological history of Bridport and its surroundings. Volunteers were wonderful too.

Staff were very enthusiastic and demonstrated how to make rope that was very interesting. We even got to keep it! Kids enjoyed the children's activities. Small museum so doesn't take long to go round but well worth a visit.

Well presented history of Bridport. Worth a visit to engage in the rope making demonstration. Many exhibits to see.

Lovely and quaint museum, learn how to make rope

Super cute little museum, with an eclectic mix of local bits and bobs. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and very happy to explain things to excitable children (although there aren't many things children can touch and interact with, so very small ones may get bored). There's some fascinating displays on the local history of rope and net making and how Bridport contributed to the war effort in that respect, as well as bits on the local railways, and local hostorical figure Dr Roberts' "Poor Man's Friend" cure-all. Entry was cheap (a fiver per adult and free for children under 18, with the ticket allowing multiple entries over a year - I think- if desired). It's a small space, about the size of a house, so only takes an hour or so to have a really good look round. Ideal to hop out of the rain or heat for a little while without spending loads of money, while learning a little about the town.

Really cannot fault this place. Not only was the subject matter fascinating, but the volunteers made it come alive, they're a credit to the museum. Spent a good hour in here, loved the art exhibition and I made my.own rope!

Excellent museum with helpful and knowledgeable staff. They have rope making sessions where you can have a go at making short lengths of rope.

My favourite place to eat and grab coffee, have loved this place since it opened and it’s such a treat to visit, I’ve never had a bad experience here. The team are always friendly, accommodating, and appear to have great communication. It was a busy market day when we visited and yet the service was exceptional - food arrived quickly, and despite a constant flow of people wanting a seat, we didn’t feel at all rushed and enjoyed a peaceful, delicious lunch. Like the food, the coffee is always made to a high standard. Though some may think it a simple thing, the carrot sandwich is anything but, and I highly recommend! Always an insanely good selection of cakes/deserts (I love the basque cheesecake and chocolate brownie) and the decor and ambience adds to the great experience. I will continue to recommend Soulshine to everyone!

What a little gem! Amazing coffee, really friendly staff along with great service. It was market day so they were packed but service was delightful and quick. We had breakfast (fried eggs on sourdough & buttermilk pancakes) and it was all delicious 😋 would definitely recommend and would love to visit again in the cooler months and try the soups ☺️

Soulshine is a heart‑warming dining gem—where lively design meets soulful cooking, excellent coffee, and an atmosphere of genuine hospitality. Whether you’re enjoying a slow brunch, an artisan coffee, a veggie feast, or a relaxed supper with friends (or four‑legged pals), it’s a place that fills the soul just as much as the belly. Highly recommended—Bridport’s finest.

What a gorgeous little cafe! We popped in for breakfast and had such a lovely time. There's a variety of seating options at a table, window bar or outside. The staff are so friendly and personable. We ordered pancakes and baked beans with halloumi and eggs and there wasn't a crumb or smudge of sauce left on the plates. Such comfort food. Coffee was delicious as well. Thank you Soulshine team!

Fantastic atmosphere and very tasty dishes. A chance discovery that is well worth leaving the A30 for a quality rest and refresh.

We had a delicious meal last night. Great food and good service. We finished with a chocolate mousse and I had an affogato. A little bit of wickedness to conclude a lovely evening. Thank you.

A wonderful little gem... Different areas to sit in. We had a super breakfast and will definitely be back when in Bridport again.

Came for a joint birthday dinner for my mum and husband, the wine was nice and the hive lager really tasty! We got a mix of dishes including some specials, had a slight issue with my dish but they were very receptive and polite and sorted it out right away! Brilliant service and all the dishes were delicious. Atmosphere is really nice by the sea, would be nice if the ‘window’ panels on the tent were less cloudy to be able to see the sea when the tent is down but is a small point. Quaint with simple seating but food and service are the star

Stunning views and delicious fresh food. Service was fast and friendly despite our dithering over what to have. We had the seafood platter and the kitchen were kind enough to swap out the cold Lobster and prawns to the hot version (highly recommended if you like garlic sauce). The food is also great value for money. You get a satisfying portion size. We also had a crab sandwich which came with salad and vegetable crisps which was also fresh and tasty.

Visited this Cafe today after coming a cross it whilst walking Our Dog! Was quite busy but got a table straight away, table was off to the side which suited us as Our Dog Kiwi is a little nervous. Water Bowls are dotted around the Patio just for the Dogs! We ordered a Crab Sandwich with coleslaw and a deep fried Squid in a lime sauce with side salad, both were delicious, so much Crab Meat in the Sandwich and lots of deep fried squid! Definately recommend this Place, can imagine it is busy in High season! Reasonably priced for what We got!

Fantastic location and even better food. Our meals and all the others we saw looked amazing, the staff are brilliant too. Good sized portions and fair pricing.

I really loved my first impromptu visit here 7 years ago. We decided to re-visit for my birthday as a family meal. From what I recall at our original visit, things have changed and expanded a bit since Covid etc and it’s good to see there are takeaway options and an outside terrace option. We spent over £300 on a meal for 2 adults and 2 teenage children which included drinks and desserts. I did feel this was excessive even though we ordered some amazing seafood dishes. If I could improve the experience it would be to have more options on the dinner menu as there weren’t that many and it seemed all were very pricey. I think a lot more attention is needed to address allergies and food intolerances and staff training needs to be more robust here. I have an intolerance to some fruits due to an inflamed bladder lining so I explained to the waitress I can’t do lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange. I also said I am sick if I eat mussels but I’m good with all other seafood and all other fruit. She told me they don’t serve mussels in their dishes. Later, they double checked if the single raspberry placed in my cocktail was ok. It was. However, they didn’t pay any attention or give any warning to the large wedges of lemon served on a seafood platter we’d ordered and I was quite shocked to also find mussels among the platter. I didn’t bother saying anything at the time as I just avoided the areas near the lemon wedges and my husband ate the mussels and I chose other parts of the platter. My intolerances are not that serious and I do it to avoid pain and any sickness. However, some people have serious adversities and I was just surprised this happened. I think I expect somewhere that charges over £300 for dinner to look after me for 100% of the experience. If I had brought this up I think it might have spoiled my birthday dinner out but how would they have backtracked from doing this if I had? Overall, it was a lovely meal and we enjoyed the atmosphere and experience thoroughly.

We had a fantastic breakfast here on the last day of our trip to Dorset. Our Airbnb host had recommended and we weren’t disappointed. It was a blustery cloudy day so we sat inside, we arrived 20 mins before breakfast stopped serving but ourselves and our 2 dogs were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff. Not knowing what would be available we ordered our breakfast and it was delicious. My only complaint is the lack of an alternative to butter for my toast. I have a severe allergy to dairy but was told by the waiting staff that they have no alternative. A bit backward in this day and age. Next time I’ll bring my own!

Lovely café with a nice view of the beach. The service was great and very friendly. The food was presented beautifully and tasted superb. The level of food I would expect from a restaurant.

Can't comment on the rooms,as we didn't stay over,but everything else is definitely worth five stars. Went to a wedding and everything was just amazing. The staff were really attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Food was excellent especially considering the number they were catering for. I can see why the bride and groom wanted to get wed at their special place!

We were booked into the restaurant on a Saturday night at 18.30 (this has relevance to the review, so bear with me). We were early so had a couple of cocktails in the bar. They were very good, especially the Bloody Mary my partner had. We were then seated and things moved from the realm of enjoyable into farce. We ordered at around 18.35, at which point the dining room was practically empty. About 5 minutes later my starter was set down in front of me (plonked down) by the surly male waiter. And we waited for my husband’s scallops. Nothing. 10 minutes went by. My starter (the lobster and crab cocktail) sat in front of me untouched. The dining room was starting to fill up. I called the reluctant waiter over to ask about the missing starter. He made vague apologies. But then we resumed waiting. After 40 minutes with one starter on the table and no sign of the other, we left. This was extraordinary incompetence. When we ordered they were not busy. Scallops take minutes to cook. Why bring out one starter and leave the other guest with nothing? The starter that was delivered was a cold dish, so there was no rush. In summary, this was the worst service i have had in a long time. I cannot comment on the quality of the food as they did not want to give it to us.

Idyllic clifftop spot for a cocktail with views down to Hive Beach and as far as Portland. Very friendly staff and nice range of drinks on offer. We weren't staying or dining here but plenty were. Highly recommend the happy hour offer (5 til 6) or a sundowner or two here. Parking available but a walk up from Hive Beach is a treat too.

Beautiful location, we stayed overnight - room very clean and gorgeous bedding with firm bed. Lovely views from room and no TV yet WiFi is ok. The downside is the food and drinks. The afternoon meal was ok my ham hock and lentils were tasteless. The duck was chewy yet my bass was beautiful. Drinks are limited no whiskey and American? My G&T was ok - nicely served but taste wise meh. We slept well and were comfortable. The main gripe is that we waited a hour and a half for our cooked breakfast! Yes we asked and kept asking only to be placated by the poor waitress. The breakfast arrived and was inedible - very overcooked sausages, bacon and rubber fried eggs. We were a table of 8 and everyone that arrived after us was served first. Not on and for the price as it is not cheap. Please cook fresh rather than precooking and leaving in the oven!

The best dining Ive had in West Dorset, amazing views, great food even with the head chef off for the night. Have the Ray wing, it is out of this world! Friendly attentive service. Well priced for a Michelin listed restaurant.

Beautiful restaurant in relaxing location looking out on the sea. Appreciated the love put into the place from the wildflower bouquets on the tables to the homemade mayo we were given with our chips. So overjoyed to find a restaurant cooking simple beautiful food made from scratch with good produce. Something so rare to find these days. Highlights was the vanilla ice cream with salted caramel and the westcombe cheddar soufflé !!! Also our server Dillon was so kind. We may have to travel an hour to come again next week 😂❤️

Underwhelming lunch and as we hadnt booked ..we wanted . to sit outside and partake of the bar menu (it wasnt busy)...our mature lady waitress was abrupt and very offhand... walk ins shouldn't be made to feel unwelcome they are part and parcel of good hospitality.. . We then waited 10 minutes for our order to be taken for drinks ..lunch itself ..smoked salmon tiny amount on a stale piece of rye bread 1 sprig of watercress £16 is a bit much . . my crab tasty but toast very hard ..teeth hreakiing ! I think if you are going to charge 12.5 % service charge staff need to be better trained and more welcoming .. Ii all it lacks joy and a atmosphere... Weeds in the flower beds along the front and rubbish areas in the carpark dont give it a great vibe it definitely needs some TLC it's such a lovely location ...not sure I would return sadly ...

Absolutely brilliant experience. You might have thought you were in an Italian village. Brilliant atmosphere, lovely food and home made cider. Perfect lunch and do try the Tiramisu if you're not driving. Very dog friendly.

I dined here on Friday as a solo traveler camping and decided to indulge Saturday and Sunday as I enjoyed the experience that much. Couldn’t fault the place. Everything on my plate was exceptional. Hidden gem of a restaurant I would encourage anyone to try. Simon really knows what he’s doing!

A really special and unique restaurant. Tucked away along a country lane, you would never even know it was there. The lead up to it isn’t impressive at all but once you’re in you can see what all the online hype is about. Very special place that u rarely stumble upon. Everything about it is great but hard to explain. If u visit u will know exactly what I mean. When you know you know ! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Had an amazing steak last night and cooked to perfection, when the steak was arriving at the table heads were turned in awe. Service was great as was the atmosphere. I would recommend The Parlour to everyone. They also have an extensive beautiful wine range. Not to be missed ( book now).

Stunning restaurant and setting with gluten free options! The waiter took the time to explain to me what what gluten free on the menu - the usual things you’d expect to contain gluten do (i.e., pizza, pasta, bread etc.) and everything else is GF! I had the olives and padron peppers to start, for main I had the mackerel with a Greek salad and french fries. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection and the wine selection is equally as good. They were able to cater for a large group of us (13) and all of the staff were patient, polite and attentive. Highly recommend!

This place is a real hidden gem, we were camping at Bredy Farm and booked a table thinking it would be fairly basic, but we were totally blown away by the quality of the food and the wonderful atmosphere of the restaurant. It’s the perfect place for a special occasion meal, and the waitress was happy to adjust the menu slightly to my dietary requirements. My pizza was delicious and my partner had the sardines, which he said were incredible!

Having dined here several times it's all about honest Italian food done brilliantly!. Small and varied menu, great atmosphere and happy and efficient service. Never been disappointed. Book....it gets busy!. Worth every penny.
