Gamekeeper's Cottage

From the moment you arrive at Gamekeepers Cottage you know that you are in for a treat. The approach down the driveway with the owners beautiful thatched cottage at its head, opens out to the wonderful haven of Dominey's Yard and the delightful, select row of converted holiday cottages. The cottage and owners are very welcoming and you are made to feel immediately "at home". The cottage is extremely well equipped and spotlessly clean. On venturing outside via the private patio to the gardens beyond, you could be forgiven for believing that you have been transported into gardens belonging to the National Trust, they are so beautiful and well tended. The heated swimming pool is in the most beautiful setting and a real delight to swim in. If you can tear yourself away from this wonderful holiday home, you will find the surrounding countryside beautiful and many places to visit. We thoroughly enjoyed walking in the local area and cycling the off road North Dorset Trailway between Sturminster Newton and Spetisbury only a 30 minute drive away. It is certainly a cottage we hope to return to....

Adele and Nigel are exceptionally welcoming and helpful. We would holiday here again.

You can add any of my comments as the whole experience from arriving, to meeting the hosts, exploring the grounds and visiting the local areas like Weymouth, Poole and Sandbanks to seeing museum's and castles a wonderful, relaxing and restful break. I would recommend Game Keepers Cottage to anyone. To be honest I found the description of the cottage and service provided were undersold. The small touches were fantastic, Home made cake on arrival, bread, milk, butter, eggs, tea, coffee, washing up products, tea towels etc. all amazing. The grounds were wonderful, the pool brilliant and hosts enchanting. Such a beautiful cottage. Everything about the Game Keepers cottage and the location were perfect!...

Ideally located for a numbers of days out including Sherborne, Taunton, Weymouth, Lyme Regis, Yeovil and Dorchester. Jacqui and Bryan, Buckinghamshire...
