Family of three adults stayed for a week. What can we say?! Firstly, the propertywas spotless with absolutely everything you need for a comfortable stay, and more. Parking right outside the stable which was very convenient. Secondly, Paul was amazing, very knowledgable about the area and he was so welcoming which made our stay even more pleasurable. Brady was the icing on the cake, greeting us every morning and when we arrived back in the evening, he is adorable, and we must admit he stole our hearts such a beautiful dog! Many firsts for us including red squirrels on Brownsea and white tailed sea eagles at Arne (Poole harbour). An amazing week and would 100% recommend!! Thank you x

Ideal Rural Retreat

Comfortable cottage in a quiet situation adjoining heathland wildlife reserves. Spotlessly clean throughout and very well equipped with everything you could possibly want for a self catering break. Mick and Carol were brilliant hosts and could not have done more to welcome us and provide very good recommendations on places to eat and visit.

Excellent accommodation and well equipped cottage in a beautiful setting. Carol and Mick the owners give a great welcome and have a wonderful outlook on life.
