Bridport: Dorset

A guide to Bridport and the surrounding area

Perfectly positioned between the West Country and London, Bridport is a gateway to the Jurassic Coast and lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, surrounded by the rolling hills of West Dorset. Overlooked by the iconic Colmers Hill, Bridport is steeped in a history of rope-making, which has influenced the design and layout of the town's gardens and houses.

A mile to the south of Bridport is the quaint fishing harbour of West Bay, the setting for the famous TV drama Broadchurch, around which are numerous beaches and inlets for sailing and fishing, as well as walking and fossil hunting.

The town's rope industry is still alive today with local businesses providing nets for Wimbledon, major football championships and the Airforce.

Bridport is a vibrant rural centre, with twice weekly street and farmers' markets, a thriving music, food, arts and literary community, which is involved in events such as the Bridport Literary Festival, Dorset Arts Week, The Food Festival, Bridport Carnival and Melplash Agricultural Show.

Our Reviews

“...We are first time landlords and Stags managed all the Health and Safety, legal and financial requirements we needed in place as landlords. That was such a weight off our shoulders! They have great skill in selecting tenants, carry out regular property inspections, ensure that all safety certificates are updated and respond immediately to any tenant queries. As a result, our property remained in perfect condition throughout the tenancy.”

“We would highly recommend Stags for both renting and selling a property. We worked with the Tavistock branch when renting our house in Tavistock and for when we decided to sell it. We don't live in Devon, so having an estate agent in the same town as the property was incredibly valuable. Whilst renting we were informed of any issues arising and found Stags to be excellent at resolving them quickly and efficiently. During the process of selling, the team, like the rental team, were always at the end of the phone to answer questions or discuss options.”

“Maria & Catherine at Stags have been extremely helpful with the setup and first time let of our property in Tavistock. From seeing it prior to refurbishment to getting our tenants in and settled they have been first class - would not hesitate to recommend them.”
