Lives in Bridport, United Kingdom
Hi I'm Tess, I live at Strongate View, at the top of Strongate Lane, virtually on the doorstep of Strongate Farm, and my Dad (Bob) lives in the farmhouse. I'm on hand during your stay and can be contacted at any time on my mobile. I adore our location, and was brought up on the farm. I have always lived locally, it's such a lovely area and there is nowhere else I’d rather be
