We had a fantastic stay at this peaceful countryside cottage. The setting is beautifully quiet, surrounded by fields and sheep, making it a perfect place to relax and switch off. The location worked really well for trips to Lyme Regis and Charmouth for fossil hunting. The beds were very comfortable, and we all slept well throughout the stay. The kiRead moreds loved the games room, which kept them entertained for hours. The EV charging was a great feature and made things very convenient for us. Overall, a wonderful place to stay.

We had a fabulous holiday at Mole Cottage. It was spotlessly clean, in a great location for all the local attractions and was in an idyllic location. The beds were extremely comfortable and the cottage very well equipped. Would definitely recommend and stay again ourselves. The games room and BBQ were also big pluses.
