Delightful Dorset
This property met all of our needs. It was the perfect size for us and very convenient to the train station and some hiking trails. Mark and Karen were great with recommendations and answering questions. The check-in process was very easy and we were greeted with milk and cookies. Grocery shops were very convenient. All appliances had detailed written directions on how to use. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location and property
Nice place and have been twice now but I have to be honest that I was shocked at damp and mould on walls/ceiling and around patio doors in back bedroom. No problems anywhere else in property with damp. If this property has a cleaner coming in to turn it around then I think they need to be spoken too, as when you look close it’s not great. I would return if things improved as it a lovely setting and location

Lovely little cottage, peaceful location with lovely walks for the dog. We all really enjoyed our holiday. Shame only one pub within walking distance but we travelled a bit further afield and found some very nice ones! Hot tub much appreciated 🙂

Amazing hidden away gem
A lovely gem of a place in an old style village with all you need, the property has all you need even for your dogs.
lovely hot tub to soak in, some lovely local walks meeting the locals and there dogs.
Local to Weymouth with a fantastic beach and the Jarassic coast just 15mins away.
But overall we will be returning as like i have said its a gem of a place to stay with that little bit of luxury.
See you again soon

Great Holiday Cottage
Very clean and comfortable cottage. Owners very friendly. Great to find somewhere that really welcomes dogs, with added touches of dog toys, towels, throws. Gardens very safe. Great central location for visiting the whole of Dorset and local amenities close by. Certainly hope to return in the future.
