Tucked back from the road heading through the hamlet of Wigbeth, this contemporary barn conversion was completed in 2019 and is ideally placed for exploring the local area.

We had a lovely week at this cottage despite the weather. It really is a lovely comfortable place and our dog loved the access from the garden to the paddock for his ball games. Lots of lovely pubs nearby doing excellent food we recommend The Old Thatch and the Horton Inn for a really lovely Sunday Roast.

Nothing like the images, photos are deceptive and dont show how overlooked this property is. Left 4 nights early, from the see through fence with a reactive dog that allows my dog to see the neighbouring dog.

Spotlessly clean, large modern space. Small secure garden for our dog. Biggest issue was the electric car charger not working and no live ITV for the Euros. Difficult to find fast chargers.

Excellent property in a pleasant rural location and importantly, dog friendly. We stayed at Pig Cottage which has a fenced paddock behind which is available to all guests and was great for our dog to run around on a long training lead. Despite changeable weather we never needed the heating as the property is so well insulated and was always warm. WRead moree also loved all the facilities including hot tub in the garden! We would definitely book again if visiting this area in future. Hide

A really lovely cottage with everything you need - even more so if you have a dog - enclosed garden leading to a paddock - our dog loved it. Spotlessly clean and a little bit of luxury thrown in - great position for exploring Dorset. The hot tub was great after a day walking. We loved this place and will definitely return. Great helpful host also.
