Peace and quiet at the heart of Dorset
The house if located in a peaceful village of Melcombe Bingham, surrounded by thatched roof cottages and shielded from views by lush green of the garden. We barely saw or heard any neighbours in our 4 days there. The house is quite spacious (more than it may seem from the outside) and has a great home feeling to it. The host was very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our time at Greygles and would be happy to return.

Beautiful and peaceful
Very nice indeed. The only slight negative was the steep staircase that would need to be navigated from bedroom 3 and 2 upstairs if the bathroom was needed in the night. We had 2 small children who could use the master bedroom so ok. Otherwise very comfortable and well stocked. But I was worried about the Aga but found there was an electric oven as well.
