This was the best equipped cottage/holiday home we have stayed in. Location ideal for this part of Dorset. Owners could not have been more friendly and the cottage itself superb. Cannot speak too highly of the whole experience. ( Apart from finding the entrance to the drive on the first day)...

This is a lovely cottage in a perfect location, which feels like home from home. We were made very welcome by the owners who couldn’t have done more to ensure we had a great week. We have stayed here a number of times and will always return here if we can....

Wow what a find, such a stunning property in a stunning location. The owners Sally and Justin are so friendly and made us feel at home immediately. The cottage was fabulous and very homely. The welcome basket was fabulous with local produce of butter, eggs, sausages, bread. biscuits and milk! One week just wasn't enough to explore this beautiful part of Dorset, so we will be returning to complete the special walks recommended by Sally and Justin!! We loved meeting Winston and feeding the alpacas Crinny, Bondai and Polo!!! One of the best holidays we have had in a while!!!...
