Ivy Cottage is a lovely and peaceful place to stay. Well furnished and well equipped, it feels like a home from home, with owners who clearly enjoy being there too. There were generous basic provisions in the kitchen for our use. The garden is private and a good size, and the conservatory overlooking it a nice place to sit during the day. Beds are comfortable and the sitting room cosy, with plenty of books. We parked easily right outside the house. We loved the village and the area too, plenty to do and see. Highlights for us included the local church, Dorchester Museum, Hive Beach and coastal walks, and Sherborne Abbey. And of course several very good pubs - sadly the local pub wasn't serving food when we stayed, but there are plenty of alternatives. A great stay, thank you. ...

A lovey cottage and gorgeous cottage garden with good outside spaces. Although it opens on to the road we had no problem parking and it was very quiet. Spotless inside and very well equipped. Our first visit to Dorset but likely to return as such a lot to do. Would have no hesitation in booking Ivy Cottage again, highly recommend....

A wonderful cottage. Very comfortable and well equipped with a pretty secure garden, which has recently extended. The owners are super helpful and responsive. Lots to see and do locally and everywhere is extremely dog friendly. This was our third time visiting and we would happily stay again....
