Clean & tidy, well stocked, great location
Short break away. Everything we needed. No frills. Garden could do with a tidy up & a bit of TLC inside the property but for the price we were all very happy & comfortable.

Family short break
Lovely stay. Beds were amazingly comfy. Lovely cosy cottage with everything we needed for a short break with the family and dog while son played rugby for the weekend in Dorchester. Easy to find, good comms with the owners. All in all we couldn’t fault it!

Great location
We stayed here For a balmy week in August.
Location wise the property was excellent for exploring the Dorset coast and countryside.
Re the property it could do with a freshen up (e.g. the front door, back garden and general decor). It is also worth mentioning that the property is not particularly suitable for the elderly or very young guests as the upstairs floor is uneven and the bathroom is downstairs.
The property is well equipped, but a dishwasher would be a welcome asset!
