We enjoyed our holiday, despite a week of very unsettled weather. Owners Richard and Jane were very friendly. Note that the north-facing garden and patio get very little sun (whatever the weather generally). The dense trees - although in themselves beautiful - cut off the light and views. The Fox Inn is recommended for dinner. There are several interesting National Trust locations in the area, but the narrow lanes in Dorset mean it can take longer than expected to get to them, and the Classic Cottages website information almost invariably under-estimates the distances - even taking the shortest route. (This also applies to the journey to the coast.)...

We will double check that the figures are correct. We're happy to read that you enjoyed the Fox Inn which is a short walk from the property and that you enjoyed exploring the local National Trust locations.

Well situated for some nice walks straight out of the property -- one to Bulbarrow Hill and another to Dorsetshire Gap. The landscape is idyllic in this area. If you like hillforts, you're in the right place!
