The cottage was small and quirky, but very cosy and comfortable.. During these troubled times we felt very safe there and even ate out in each of the 2 village pubs, which had all the recommended COVID security measures in place.

Excellent accommodation for us just right for a relaxing break owners very to answer any queries would definitely go again if they would have us as I did not read all the information and consequently did not remove the bedding & towels into the laundry bag my fault entirely the cottage is in a lovely village location

We had a lovely week in this tiny but very cosy and well equipped cottage.. We would definitely stay again and we would recommend it. Thank you to the owner's.

The cottage was exceptionally clean, and the beds were very comfortable.. The kitchen was well-appointed: it included a stovetop, oven, and fridge, and even a washer/dryer. It also included dishes and pots and pans. The owner was nearby and provided us with milk, teabags, and laundry soap pods. The only difficulty we had was finding the place in the dark!

The good; location - nice village with two pubs, two shops and whilst it is remote it's actually pretty central to many great days out.. The price was also ok, one of the cheaper places. We did have a great holiday. The not so good; it is very small for a family of four, we had to spend the evenings in the bedroom or quietly in the cramped living room, whilst the kids went to sleep. It is bit dirty (mouldy bathroom etc) and definitely in need of work doing - just lots of little things that break over the years. As per other reviews the internet is not good and the TV appears to have a broken speaker (I changed the audio to only use one otherwise it was tinny and horrible!). It also felt overlooked. The bad - the kids bedroom had a broken velux window, we were forewarned and told it had now got plastic covering it, but on arrival I was pretty shocked that there were large shards of glass easily in reach of small fingers. The plastic covering was not rigid plastic and held down badly by tape. I personally think it's not unacceptable to not either a) remove all shards of glass or b) cover with rigid plastic or wood.

What a perfect little cottage.. We expected something small and cosy and we were not disappointed at all. Much bigger than it looks, with everything you could need. Right inbetween two big towns which was perfect. We will be staying again!

This cottage was nice and cosy and comfortable.. It had everything we needed except a view. Unfortunately the windows in the kitchen and bathroom were in the ceiling (velux) and the only small window in the lounge looked directly onto the owners drive. It did feel a little claustrophobic at times. Apart from that the location of the cottage was perfect for exploring the surrounding area. We had some great days out.

The place was lovely but really in need of some TLC it was very clear no one had been before us for a bit (or if they had it wasn’t clean) so many cobwebs in the place, I had to remove a few spiders.. The bedding was musky smell so I had to wash it again as couldn’t bare to sleep in it. The internet isn’t very good as keeps dropping in and out and so I used up my own data. No welcome pack or information but lucky I know the area so well. Mrs royal greeted us for 3mins on arrival then left, the outside light not working until the day before we left which was annoying as we were out all day and arriving home late at night. It’s a lovely place but could be so much more.

The cottage was in a good location for exploring Dorset and the Jurassic coast.. It was very comfortable, and we appreciated having the central heating available if we needed it. The cottage had a good parking place, and a quiet and peaceful setting within the grounds of the owner's house. The owner was friendly and welcoming and on hand if any problems should arise. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider booking this cottage again next time we are in Dorset.

The owner did told us about bats in the roof space on our arrival this did not worry us at all as we enjoyed watching them fly out at dusk but i think this would put a few people off and people need to be aware of it qverall it was a very good holiday nice area to stay not too far from poole harbour [ 9 miles ] we had lots of lovely boat trips including one to guernsey where we came back with loads of duty frees which more than paid for that trip
