A relaxing week spent in this lovely, exceptionally cosy cottage. Breakfast in the hot sun trap conservatory over looking the country side was an unexpected treat for October. Much to explore locally, pretty villages, great scenery dramatic coast line.

An all over excellent cottage.

Everything was just perfect to be honest. The owners were superb hosts - in the fact they were on site, but not in our face unless we needed anything. We didn't have to ask for anything, because it was all there. It was in the middle on nowhere, just listening to Cows! There were lots of lovely rural walks.

It was all great, it was very thoughtful and immaculate. The owners were absolutely lovely people.

A quality cottage with up to date appliances and welcoming helpful hosts. Staying there during a very rough storm, one got a feeling of security and cosiness away from the onslaught outside, with a bonus of being able to 'storm-chase' whilst sheltering in the well appointed conservatory that was part of the accommodation. Would book again because the area is drenched in attractions, far too many to fit in on one visit.

It was relaxing and peaceful and the owners were friendly very helpful. The accommodation could not be faulted, the fixtures and fittings were spot on, the décor was superb and the cleanliness of the property was excellent. This letting is a credit to the owners, I would recommend this property to anyone, thanks again to the owners.

Excellent hosts. Helpful but not intrusive. Highly recommend to any. Ideally situated to explore the area inland or seaward.

The lovely rural location made for a peaceful and restful holiday. The owners were very helpful and friendly. The cottage was superbly equipped. Lots of seaside towns nearby to visit and my favourite; The Subtropical Gardens at Abbotsbury. If you want to escape to the country this is the place to go.

We were able to relax in the conservatory which was very warm and had a lovely view.

It was out in the sticks as we say, but that added to the charm. When I looked out over the field and saw a deer with two young ones, made it perfect. Nice and quiet. Very good.
Mr Perry
July 2012
A comfortable and clean cottage. The owners were friendly and on hand but didn't interfere in any way. The above made for a very relaxing and pleasurable break. We would definitely consider going there again, or to the other properties let by the owners.

Property was warm and everything worked beautifully. The kitchen was particularly well stocked with all mod cons and cooking equipment. The owners were very welcoming but did not intrude. That part of Dorset is lovely and so quiet and peaceful. Local pubs serve very good food and the markets and farm shops are excellent. As it was Winter the seaside places were 'closed' but West Bay beach is glorious.

The hosts were friendly and helpful during a very inclement week. Views were wonderful. The cottage was comfortable and very warm even in the coldest weather. The board games provided were used during the blizzard. Overall a very enjoyable winter break and we hope to be back when the weather is warmer.
