A well located cottage for visiting our favourite places in Dorset. Unfortunately this cottage fell below the usual standard in housekeeping/cleanliness we have always experienced at other "Classic" cottages.

This cottage is in a perfect location for touring most of Dorset; especially the coast. The village is full of beautiful, thatched, picturesque old and modern cottages. The 180 degree staircase was fun to negotiate with large suitcases, but we managed; the Welcome Pack made us feel better! It is adequate for two adult couples, and the off-road parking for two cars is a bonus. We were aware that the cottage was dog-friendly, but we weren't prepared for the doggy smell that greeted us as we arrived. A lot of opening of windows cured the problem. We experienced issues with property maintenance that should have been remedied by the Housekeeper prior to our arrival, but Classic Cottages resolved the problems promptly and courteously. Dorset holiday cottages are always pricey. This particular property's price equated to a BnB our friends had used in Weymouth (no parking), so the cottage did seem value for money....

This is a lovely, warm, comfortable cottage in a really quiet location. Don't be put off by it being roadside - hardly any traffic at all. So much to do nearby and some lovely walks without using the car at all. We would definitely return. It was great to see a holiday cottage with an air source heat pump too. Thank you for a lovely stay....
