Area
Moreton is a quiet village located 8 miles east of Dorchester, the County town, and is well-known for its connection to T.E.Lawrence, the famous soldier, author, and pioneering archaeologist better known as Lawrence of Arabia. He bought a house in the town now owned by the National Trust and is now named Cloud's Hill. He met and fell in love with Louisa Frampton while he was a resident here, and you can read some of their correspondence at the Moreton Tea Rooms. Only 8 miles away in the county town of Dorchester can you visit Thomas Hardy's former home and cottage, as well as many other shops, restaurants, and services. The Bovington Tank Museum is only a short distance away (about 6 miles), and is well worth the trip if you're interested in military history.

Self-Catering Reviews

We loved this charming house and the space it afforded for our family of 9. The grounds are delightful and it was a real pleasure to see the deer in the mornings and early evenings. The property is quite old so there are a few little niggles with the plumbing but nothing that was insurmountable. The Aga was a learning curve for us but we soon enjoyed leaving things to cook whilst we relaxed. We had no trouble with the electrics. The pool was enjoyed by the whole family and, yes , it needed a bit of a clean at the bottom at the deep end but as we are nearing the end of the summer season I presume it is because of constant use. We found the house clean, well equipped and suited to all of our needs. A lot of thought has been put into furnishing the house as a home. The house is perfectly situated amongst the beauty of Dorset. We would come again.

To put it briefly during our 7 day stay we had to have a man to look at the Aga which was giving off very bad fumes which gave out a horrible smell all over the house. A plumber to look at 2 of the showers and the hot water and the jacuzzi bath, all of which he couldn’t fix. An electrician was called to fit the most basic cooker you’ve ever seen, which took 4 hours with hours of drilling through the wall to do the wiring. A man came to look at the pool because the water went cold after 2 days & it never got warm enough for us to use it again. There was a mouse in the sitting room. The bedding was cheap and horrible. Sykes Cottages were unhelpful when I complained & said it was between me and the owner, they didn’t print my review which was polite but honest! We were 6 adults and 2 toddlers & a baby, we all had to use 1 tiny shower.
