The cottage is well appointed and beautifully clean. It is in a good spot - within easy reach of many places of interest to visit. There are good shops nearby in Blandford, as well as some nice eating places in Blandford, Wimborne and Shaftesbury. We liked the view from the front window and I will bring my art materials next time!

Lovely holiday except how difficult it is to pull out on to main road. Blind going either way. Close to tourist spots and Lovely places to eat. Lovely owners and nice biscuits on arrival.

A lovely clean property in a great location to get everywhere in Dorset and when coming back from a hot day out it stayed nice and cool despite the sun. The owner next-door is very helpful. As mentioned by others, getting on the main road feels difficult at first but we soon got used to it and you can always just turn left and let your sat-nav corrRead moreect itself once on the move. A great property to stay in. Hide

4 of us stayed in this property, 2 adults and 2 children. We found it very comfortable for the two weeks we stayed with helpful friendly owners. It was ideally situated for access to so many places to visit suitable for all. Most places were about 40 mins away. There are supermarkets nearby and Blandford Forum is just down the road with many shops,Read more food outlets and walks. Hide

The views were stunning, and we were able to get out and about, as the cottage is central to areas like Weymouth, Lyme Regis, Bridport all of which we visited.
