Just back from a really enjoyable holiday in this spacious yet cosy cottage situated in a lovely village with an interesting church and a fantastic pub which I wish was my local ! The cottage is spotlessly clean and well equipped , and the owner is very friendly and helpful. Its a very peaceful location yet only a few minutes drive to the main A3Read more5 for trips out and everywhere is within easy reach eg 15 mins to Charmouth or West Bay. Our first visit to Dorset and we had a great time. Hide

We had a lovely stay here. The cottage is in a wonderful location with easy access to the coast. Roads are narrow around the cottage but generally quiet. Lovely to have the lambs frolicking outside the cottage. It was really good to have three bathrooms/toilets for the size of the property.

Just arrived home from a lovely holiday, The accommodation was really clean and tidy it really was a home from home. The owner introduced her self on the first day as we were passing, then we did not see here again, We took are dog with us and the back garden was well fenced in so she did not have to be on her lead all the time.

Hi overall it was an ok stay but I felt the place was a little dated. Some people may find the double beds a tad small. The location is good for touring the coast and the local pub is super. Regards. Mr H.

My party consisted of four adults and two small children. The accommodation was perfect for our needs - three large bedrooms, one en suite shower room, one family bathroom, open plan living/dining/kitchen area - all on one floor. The terrace outside was equipped with a dining table and chairs, and the garden was safe and attractive for the childrenRead more to play in. The location was really lovely and there is a pub two minutes walk away. Sally, our host, was absolutely superb. Thanks so much! Hide

It was a lovely clean cottage, with a lovely welcoming pack when we arrived. The garden is very secure for children and for pets. The property was extremely well equipped and the family were very accommodating. We were invited to have a tour of the farm, which was walking distance to the cottage. It certainly gave us an insight into how hard our faRead morermers have to work. Would we go there again or recommend it to anyone else? Yes we would! Hide

Really super cottage equipped so thoughtfully. Absolutely loved the wood burner and the place is so well built that when the storms were raging around us on we didnt feel a thing! If I was being picky I might suggest for a mattress topper on the middle bedroom as we found it a bit hard, but Mum in the end double bedroom slept like a baby? Will hopeRead more for better weather next time.possibly June Hide
