Pretty cottage in a lovely location.

Overall very comfortable.

First booking with Classic Cottages and impressed with their high standards and friendly booking staff. Highly recommend this cottage. Quiet location; you can follow the history of the Tolpuddle Martyrs on an audio trail through the village. Perfectly situated for trips to the Jurassic coast, Milton Abbas, Dorchester. A very welcoming clean thatched cottage with high quality as new furnishings, tastefully decorated, very comfortable beds and soft leather sofas. Fabulous arrival hamper of milk, local beer, wine, biscuits and teas/coffees. Little patio area for morning coffee in the sunshine. Good safe parking space behind the cottage.

We had a wonderful stay at Tolpuddle. The cottage had everything we needed, it was so well equipped and it was spotlessly clean. The beds were lovely and comfortable and the parking was very easy which is a rarity in this area. It’s a fantastic base for getting to a range of lovely beaches and there are great restaurants and shopping options nearby. We have already booked to come back next year!

We're delighted that you had such a wonderful stay at Tolpuddle. Thank you so much for sharing your comments, it's great to hear you've already booked a return visit!! Julie, Customer Support

A lovely property that was clean and well equipped. Car needed for shops and restaurants, as there is nothing in Tolpuddle itself other than residential properties. Many coastal places within an hour (Weymouth, Lyme Regis, Swanage).

A beautiful cottage with a classic style but the luxury of being nearly new, in a stunning rural location.

The cottage was immaculate and comfortable as described on the website. Plenty of parking. A great base for exploring the area. Would definitely return.

The cottage is beautiful, providing us with everything we needed. It's very welcoming, cosy and very comfortable. The location of the cottage was ideal for walks and places to visit.

A great location, as the cottage is so near to many Dorset places we wanted to visit.

We had a cosy time in Dorset, very relaxed and good fun. We followed many of the recommendations, which were really helpful ideas of what to see and do and the cottage exceeded our expectations.

Beautiful cottage in a quiet location. 30-40 minutes drive to nearest beaches. Car essential. Excellent customer service from Classic during our stay.

A nicely decorated property in a convenient location. Lovely spacious bedrooms and plenty of toilets and bathrooms.

A wonderfully furnished cottage that had been very thoroughly cleaned and provided a homely, comfortable base to explore Dorset!

We absolutely loved our holiday in Tolpuddle cottage. It is a beautiful cottage and was well equipped and beautifully furnished. It was totally suitable for me with my 4 older children. The location was perfect for most of the major attractions being within a half hour drive of most. The pub in Puddletown provided the best food for our tastes. The Martyrs Inn was within walking distance and was pleasant enough although the food quality was adequate.

We thought the location of the cottage was excellent. The peace and quiet of a village, but so many places within very easy reach. My granddaughter loved the play area, virtually over the road from the cottage. Highlights of our week. Monkey World, an amazing "rescue" centre for primates, they do a fantastic job. We enjoyed the Swanage to Corfe Castle steam railway. Excellent afternoon tea at Athelhampton House, literally just down the road, can recommend the Dorset Apple cake! We loved Dorchester and Weymouth has an excellent safe beach for children. We did not do all that we had planned,so will have to return and would certainly consider staying at Tolpuddle cottage again.

The cottage certainly offers the best of both worlds with plenty to do in the area but a lovely peaceful retreat to return to in the evenings. We think a second visit is a must, especially for another slice of that famous Dorset Apple Cake! Tanya, Customer Support

Cottage was great (apart from heating); super king bed was nice, location is great, Netflix was available and enjoyed that, it is really quiet there, Dorset is wonderful. Athelhampton discount card was very useful, it is a great place.

The heating isnt a flexible heating system and not really suitable for holiday let where different people have different ideas about how warm a room should be in cold weather.

We're delighted that you enjoyed your holiday in Tolpuddle Cottage and liked the lovely Dorset location. We're really sorry that the cottage took a bit of time to warm up for you - underfloor heating can be a little slower to react but the housekeeper will make sure all is cosy for arrival in future, and guests can adjust the temperature thereafter on the room thermostat. Thanks so much for letting us know. Kari, Customer Support

Lovely quiet cottage in a lovely village. Great pub within walking distance. Lovely comfy bed and beautifully furnished. Lovely soft towels also. Highly recommend. Thought it was a bit expensive though.

Thank you for a lovely family stay at Tolpuddle Cottage, a good location to explore Dorset.

The cottage was lovely, very well equipped and modern, a home away from home, a lovely base to explore Dorset. We definitely recommend Tolpuddle cottage for a lovely break away.

This cottage had far more in the way of equipment than any other in which we've stayed. Very well equipped and spotlessly clean
