The charming, sleepy Dorset village of Loders is found a couple of miles north-east of Bridport nestled in the folds of the Powerstock Hills. Pretty thatched cottages with rose filled gardens hug the quiet country road that runs along the valley forged by the River Asker, along with a primary school, historic 12th century church and a choice of two excellent pubs where the food is good and visitors are made very welcome.

A holiday in Loders is perfect for couples and families with lots to do in the surrounding area. Dust off your walking boots and explore the fabulous natural scenery on your doorstep here. In the heart of Dorset’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the village is surrounded by fields and woodland with plenty of circular walks. or the more adventurous can climb Eggadon Hill, topped with an Iron Age hill fort, where you will be rewarded by stunning panoramic view across the valley and the Jurassic Coast beyond. 

And being just two miles from Bridport, our holiday cottages in Loders are well placed to explore this attractive Georgian town known for its thriving art and music scene, as well as a huge choice of independent shops, galleries, cafés and restaurants. Bridport’s picturesque harbour at West Bay opens up Dorset’s famous Jurassic Coast known for its towering cliffs, stunning scenery and endless beaches teeming with fossils. Here you can try a new water sport, take a walk with an experienced fossil hunting guide, blow away the cobwebs on the South West Coast Path or simply spend a lazy day on the beach with a picnic.

A holiday in Loders gives the best of both worlds; a quiet beautiful village with excellent pubs and all that Bridport and the Jurassic Coast has to offer just a few miles down the road - everything you need for a memorable holiday with family or loved ones in Dorset.

Bridport Golf Club
(3 miles)

Bridport is the oldest golf club in Dorset, celebrating their 125th anniversary in 2016 but enjoying modern facilities catering to the 21st century golfer.  Located on the Jurassic coastline, the views stretch across Lyme Bay and along Chesil Beach to Portland. The 6213 yard, cliff top links style golf course is a challenging but fair test for all abilities and can be played on all year round.

Eggardon Hill
(3 miles)

(8)

Looked after by the National Trust, Eggardon Hill is a great place for walking, flying kites or simply taking in the extensive views of the surrounding countryside and the English Channel in the distance. The hill fort itself is about 2,500 years old, but originally there were two Bronze Age burial mounds on the summit. It's also an old smuggling spot - in the 18th century, Isaac Gulliver took advantage of the hill's commanding position and created a small plantation of trees to act as a landmark for his ships and help guide them to the coast.

Great walk, and fantastic views

A brilliant walk from Bridge Cottage. A must if you enjoying walking and good views (if the weather is kind to you!)

This ancient hill fort is well worth visiting on a clear day. There is parking space near the top to save walking all the way up and the views down to the coast are breathtakingly beautiful.

An exhilarating walk and a fantastic view whatever the weather

August 2021


Wow, what a view! You can walk or drive to it from Powerstock. Definitely worth a visit on a clear sunny day.

Fascinating place when you consider that people lived here 2-3000 years ago. It's a good walk from Powerstock or surrounding villages.
