Thank you for making our family holiday so enjoyable! Your lovely welcome note, breakfast pastries, cookies and milk were very much apprecialed after a long journey from Lincolnshire. The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed. The garden was a lovely place to eat and for our children to play with their neighbours for the 1st week of ourRead more stay. There was lots to explore. The addition of the games room was an added bonus for our boys! Hide

Wonderful cottage off the beaten track within easy reach of beaches, Tank Museum and lots of walks. Clean, beautifully furnished and the hosts were very friendly. The games room was a welcome bonus as was the EV charger.

A lovely cottage in a lovely setting. The house has been really well-furnished with comfort and practicality in mind. Soft linens and fluffy towels too! Games room was a hit too! Great location for getting to either side of Dorset - and Dorchester so close for essentials. (Also a great SPAR shop a few minutes down the road for last minute items or Read morerefuelling). Please note, there is a short but very bumpy bit of track to get up to the house. Hide

Warm, cosy and really helpful hosts. From the welcome pack to the suggestions for things to do it was perfect. Location is stunning and very peaceful. The games room kept our children entertained and the walks tired them out. Will definitely be booking again
