We enjoyed our stay in The Firs which is in a good location for exploring Dorset.
We enjoyed our stay in The Firs which is in a good location for exploring Dorset. The cottage was spotlessly clean and comfortable and the hosts Martin and Holly were very friendly. We have already recommended the cottages to friends and family and would like to go again ourselves.

We had a lovely short break here.
We had a lovely short break here. Central for visiting places in the area. The cottage was big enough for two and very comfortable. The owner was friendly and helpful with ideas for walking trails and eating in the village.Hopefully, we will come back again.
