Louisa is an amazing host that makes you feel so welcome. The room was huge and had a small outdoor area where you can sit and enjoy a drink. Her local knowledge was very helpful and it felt as though you were staying with a friend. The breakfast was great and there was a huge choice. I can see why this property gets such a high rating

Idyllic location set in beautiful gardens in a countryside valley. The private pool is amazing! My eldest son (4years old) enjoyed horse riding at the riding school so much he did it twice in our week there. The laundry facilities were very useful for young families. The cottages are in a location for visiting surrounding attractions. The property we stayed in was a decent size, clean and functional.

The accommodation was amazing, a delightful characterful thatched cottage/ barn conversion in the most idyllic setting with pond, wildlife, woodland and heathland walks. A beautiful oasis of peace and tranquility. The cottage was of a unique and beautiful design and finished to an incredibly high standard with excellent facilities. Lisa and Keith were wonderful hosts, warm and welcoming, friendly and engaging, with lots of useful advice on local walks, restaurants and places to visit.

The annexe is a cosy little cotrage in the grounds of a larger picture postcard thatched cottage. The house had everything we needed. The bed was comfy, well equipped kitchen, decent sized mugs! Nice powerful shower. Fab countryside views. Easy access to the rest of Dorset and Wilstshire. Katie was a lovely host.

Scenic, idyllic location for a lovely countryside break, close to Jurassic coast and many attractions in Dorset. I particularly loved the open plan kitchen / dining area , where entire family gathered around for the breakfast and dinners. Children loved generous play area with lots of toys. We have been welcomed with a lovely hamper containing local produce. Lovely Rituals treats in the bathrooms. Nice little, thoughtful surprises everywhere in the cottage.
