Simply gorgeous and clean cottage
Why oh why did I not book this cottage for longer. This has been one of the best cottages we have ever stayed in. Beautiful surrounds, just a perfect house, great inclusions, it deserves more than 5 stars. We will be back!

Cottage is in a great location on the Dorset coast. There are plenty of places of interest to visit
The property was lovely and clean and well equipped. We really enjoyed our stay. We would book again. It was set in a lovely village location and was very quiet and cosy. Easy travelling to Swanage and Poole. With plenty to see locally. Plenty of shops to get supplies from. A great place to rent for families.

Lovely cottage. Well equipped. Very clean
Really lovely stay. There is parking for more than one car. I did ask but was told one car. Handy to know if more than 1 couple. Some cushions would be good in lounge as settees not good for back. Everything was lovely though. Would definitely stay again.

Fantastic stay
We were the second family to stay after the property was given a complete makeover with new furniture and paint. The property was spotless clean and the location supers with beautiful walks trough bluebell woods to Langton Mathers and the kings Arms pub. The steam train station is only a 5 minute walk away. Corfe castle is beautiful loved the Fox Inn pub. The walk from spyway carpark to Dancing Ledge and coast walk to Durlston Castle and Swanage recommended as was Studland. Defiantly would recommend this cottage.

Harman’s cross Cottage
Just ended a week at this beautiful relaxing cottage. It was spotless and well equipped. The location is great for getting around and close to the steam railway. I was worried at first when I realised it is next to a caravan park but we didn’t hear a thing. It’s been so quiet here and we will return in the not so distant future.
