The Yellow House was ideal for a "significant" birthday celebration and family reunion. It was spacious, well-equipped and everyone commented on how comfy the beds were. I hadn't realised quite how close the sea was when I booked, which was very handy - and the supermarkets were also a only short stroll away. The car space at the rear is only suiteRead mored small or medium sized cars. Our one large vehicle was parked farther up the road at the front. Would we go back? Definitely. Hide

A lovely house in a perfect location for a family holiday. A plumbing issue was dealt with promptly. Spacious, comfortable beds and clean. The parking space made life very much easier.

A great house for families. The open plan lounge / dining room was good to fit everyone in for playing games etc. The open fire added to the cosy environment. The kitchen was well equipped & again we could all sit together round the table. A good location for the beach & the shops

This was a lovely house, spacious, airy and spotlessly clean with a fabulous location, having the town and beach at the bottom of the road although if you have mobility difficulties you should be aware it is on a rather steep hill. Within easy reach of other lovely beaches and places to visit such as Corfe Castle and Durdle Door. We had a fantasticRead more family holiday with our children and grandchildren. We would highly recommend it as a holiday home. Hide
