The Mouse House is compact, comfortable, quiet and just perfect for escaping the daily rat race! It is modestly, but tastefully, furnished and provides virtually everything you could need on a daily basis. The kitchen does not have an oven but a microwave makes up for this.The Mouse House was freshly cleaned prior to our arrival and nicely presented.The owners, Paul and Sally, who live in the adjacent cottage, are friendly without being obtrusive. There is a small, private seating area to the rear of The Mouse House overlooking the garden and surrounding countryside. The location brings you within easy driving distance of the coast; allow around 20 minutes for Wareham, Swanage taking a further 20 minutes. The Tesco store in Blandford Forum (10 minutes) is easily accessed for all your food shopping and fuel. The town also has a reasonable selection of smaller shops and banks. Both Dorchester and Bridport are also well worth a visit.There are a wide choice of decent pubs and restaurants in the surrounding area for dining out but booking in advance seems essential, as we found out! The Royal Oak in nearby Milborne St. Andrew (5 minutes) provides hearty pub grub at reasonable prices. All in all, we spent a very pleasurable week in this peaceful part of Dorset.
