The kitchen/dining room looking out onto the landscape was so comfortable we didn’t use the sitting room! It’s on a quiet village road that almost feels like open countryside.” ##### Alex W.

At owners suggestion, we booked an outside caterer for a meal the night we arrived which proved an inspired idea.A perfect base for our weekend. ##### ben p.

We spent most of the time in the lovely garden drinking wine and bbq-ing! The house is spotless and recently decorated. The beds were comfy and very roomy if sharing! Thanks Lesley for a lovely weekend away. It’s just what we all needed! ##### Amy P. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica G.

Couldn't have been more helpful and gave us some great local recommendations as well. House is incredibly spacious and immaculate. And having the garden to sit in and explore, also a treat. High recommend. ##### Jessica G. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsey M. May 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### wonderful family weekend We wanted somewhere which would accommodate myself, husband, 3 sons and daughters-in-law and a 3 year old grandson for a long weekend and we really got lucky with Lesley and John's house! The best rental property we have ever stayed in. Beautifully decorated, clean, well equipped - can't think of anything we couldn't find - so much space for the 9 of us that we didn't feel cramped at any point. Lovely that everyone had beautiful bedrooms and bathrooms and we also made the most of the huge gardens and BBQ. Lesley was wonderful to deal with and contacted me before to see if there was anything we needed for our stay. She and John met us at the house and showed us around and she also messaged me during the weekend to see if we were okay. Great location for visiting a variety of places including the coast. House is even better than the photos! Thank you Lesley and John for allowing us to share your beautiful home. Can't recommend highly enough! ##### Lindsey M.

Dec 28, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Christmas stay What 'sold' the property for us was the large open space kitchen: it has both lots of equipment (2 ovens, microwave, 5 units induction hob, lots of worktop space etc) to prepare a full Christmas meal for a group of 10 as well as lots of comfortable space for most of us to sit/relax while cooking is in progress. This meant we didn't split the group as much as other property choices we looked at. The large living room was big enough to have 10 people at the same time and has a smart tv so if you want, you can still watch ‘your’ Netflix, Amz Prime, Disney+ etc. Bed rooms are all (very) large and beds/quilts are very comfortable (note that the two bedrooms on first floor have areas with reduced headroom, but that was generally not a big problem, even for a 6’1” person). There is also ample space to park cars (you could park 5 – 6 cars easily?). All beds had good quality linen and towels. Finally, the owners were good in communicating before our stay as well as at time of departure. This ensured a smooth arrival as well as departure. Easiest ‘recommendation’ I have made on websites like this… Many thanks to L and J... :-)) ##### Ron S. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lesley M.

The pictures don't do it justice, decorated so beautifully and plenty of space to be social. The garden was perfect to sit in the sun and play a few games, as well as having everything we could or would need throughout our stay inside. It was lovely to meet Lesley and her husband John, they were very welcoming and friendly. Thank you so much for letting us use your home, we would love to return! ##### Emily C.

Jul 20, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Staycation for friends We were welcomed to the property by Lesley and John and shown around they made us feel very welcome. As this is their home they have very carefully and cleverly hidden their belongings away. It was a great social house with loads of room for us all and was even child friendly with having a one year old there which made it easier and relaxed. The house was lovely and clean and had everything and more which you could hope for, probably the only thing missing was a hot tub! Check in and out was very easy probably my only negative comment would be the check in and out times (5pm check-in and 9am check out) but this due to Covid19 and making sure the property was properly cleaned. Lesley did however let us check-in at 4pm as the property was ready early which was great for us. I would highly recommend this property to a large group of friends or a large family. We went to spend time with each other and this house was perfect for this. ##### Sarah G. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maya P.

The place is set in an idyllic location with lovely views of the Dorset countryside. The house is very modern, clean and had an open plan layout which is ideal for families.
