Perfect for a quiet getaway. First class facilities, exceptionally clean and the hosts were very accomodating. Hot tub was perfect .... Just what we wanted.
This is such a lovely place… very well equipped and just a gorgeous home. The hot tub and outside space is wonderful and the hosts are amazing too. Highly recommended
Beautiful bungalow in a peaceful farm location complete with fantastic hot tub. Well stocked, very clean and loved the welcome gift of chocolates & wine. Highly recommend! James & Kate are lovely hosts.
Good location. Private and sat in lovely gardens and surroundings with pleasant country views. Spacious accommodation with big rooms, gorgeous flag floor and a very cosy hotel just by the bedroom door, under vine cladded pergola filled with birdsong. Great blackout curtains and friendly hosts.
We spent a week here in August and have just got round to submitting a review. The cottage was very comfortable and clean and the farm itself was well kept and beautiful. We all loved the hot tub, as well as the opportunity to roast marshmallows at the firepit. Kate and James were really friendly and welcoming. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again or to recommend to others.
What a beautiful accomodation. The hosts were very kind and gave us all sorts of information about the area. The beds were very comfortable and the house was very clean.The garden was lovely and the garden furniture was perfect. The only negative was the noise from the nearby road, but you didn't hear it from inside the house. We would highly recommend the accomodation.
The owners were so lovely and welcoming, and the children loved seeing the animals on the farm. The hot tub is a bonus, and so nice to look out at the view after a day of exploring. The fire pit was also a big hit for marshmallow roasting! The property was spotless and very comfortable, with everything you could need. It's also in a great location to explore lots of different places in the surrounding areas. The owners were great help in giving local knowledge about where to spend our days. A wonderful place.
Lovely stay in the self catering cottage very comfortable a home from home. The hot tube was just what was needed after a few long walks. Location is great can get to most other towns and villages. The owners were lovely and we enjoyed meeting the new baby calves. Would definitely stay again.
Beautifully furnished and comfortable with everything you’d need in a ‘home from home’ plus some additions you wouldn’t necessarily expect like a dishwasher and washing machine. Outdoor space and hot tub are both wonderful and great for relaxing at the end of a a busy day. Our hosts were friendly and helpful. Location is great for exploring and there are some great places to eat nearby. Would highly recommend
Kate and James the Hosts were very friendly and helpful.The accommodation was beautiful inside and of a boutique hotel standard .comfortable beds and each bedroom had ensuite which was great .all the equipment you would need for a self catering property was of a high standard .The private hot tub was definitely an added bonus after a day exploring National Trust properties 4 of which were very close by . The local pub served excellent food as recommended by our hosts in the information booklet provided .We would definitely make another visit in the future .
We stayed in the self catering cottage for a long weekend in June 21.
Kate greeted us when we arrived and showed us to the cottage, the bottle of wine and box of chocolates was a lovely touch. The cottage is very spacious and spotlessly clean.
The grounds were very pretty with the cottage garden flowers in bloom.
The kids loved visiting the animals and playing on the play equipment. There was plenty of space around the cottage for them to play safely too. The hot tub was a fantastic addition after a long day out.
We will definitely be back!

Nice break
Kitchen is being updated soon, new oven and hob mainly needed and bigger fridge. Plenty of kitchen equipment provided. Bedrooms are roomy and comfortable but chest of drawers would be helpful. Found hot tub temperamental, all jets wouldn't work together but lovely and warm. Hosts extremely helpful. Quite near to A303 so had some road noise.
Après un excellent accueil, nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans cette très agréable maison. La propriété est calme et bien située pour visiter les lieux touristiques environnants.
Nous recommandons vivement cette location.
The barn conversion was perfect. It was spotless and had everything we needed. The hot tub provided a lovely place to relax at the end of each day. The children thoroughly enioyed using the goal to play football and bouncing on the trampoline.
Kate made us feel very welcome, the house was lovely and cosy super clean, with everything we needed. Enjoyed every minute of being there. Hot tub was the cherry on top of the cake
We had a lovely stay and thoroughly enjoyed having the hot tub to relax on at the end of a day exploring the Jurassic coast. The owners are on site and were very helpful. We were very pleased with the accommodation and would highly recommend it!
Shave Farm is a lovely setting for a relaxing holiday. The Cottage is extremely well appointed and comfortable. The hot tub is an essential for us when we stay in the UK and this one didn’t let us down. It’s huge and really easy to operate.
Kate and James were the perfect hosts; available if you need them but otherwise unobtrusive.
Thank you for having us!
Cannot fault any part of this place at all. Extremely relaxing, quiet, friendly and helpful owners, perfect for travelling around as close to major roads and we all had the best time. Thank you. Would love to come back again one day.
