  • "The Cottage is warm and comfortable and very peaceful, a perfect place to unwind."

    The kitchen could perhaps use a few more utensils and serving bowls. The garden is enclosed but shady with large trees, but loveiy to watch the squirrels in the Autumn. We would recommend a stay at the Cottage and will definitely return, thank you Dawn.

  • "Spacious comfortable cottage."

    Very clean. Excellent location. Very friendly owners. Enclosed garden was appreciated by our active dog! Bed in second bedroom needs safer fixings to stop it slipping on laminate flooring.

  • "Spacious ground floor accommodation in a lovely area, plenty of hot water, and very friendly hosts who didn't interupt our stay."

    We booked to share The Cottage with friends, and had a wonderful week exploring the Dorset area. Due to the construction of the property every sound carried, and with no carpets or curtains to absorb this, some of us didn't sleep so well despite the really comfortable beds. A little maintenance on the garden table and a few more cooking/eating utensils would have made out stay even more comfortable, and saved the owners money on fewer dishwasher cycles! Thank you for letting us stay!

  • "We had a fabulous relaxing week away."

    The accommodation catered well for all 3 of us and our dog. We found some great places to walk the dog and spent most of our time near Christchurch as the beaches there were mostly dog friendly and beautiful sand. We found the facilities at the accommodation perfect for us with a good selection of items in the kitchen. Highly recommend as a fabulous space to relax.

    Was lovely meeting you! We are so lucky where we live in Dorset and glad you enjoyed your stay with us! Be great to see you again! Property Owner

    It's very spacious with a Great sized Garden for our dog! It's very peaceful in the surroundings. The property was clean and kitchen was equipped with everything you needed. I'm from Dorset originally so it served us as a great base for our visits. We've finally found our "Home from Home!" we are booked again in September and will from now on be staying here in the future! Dawn was lovely!! and I'm looking forward to chatting to her again in September. THANK YOU.

    There was also no coffee in the container and one pod for the coffee machine.

    All noted!! Spot the tea drinker! I have made sure all Coffee drinkers more appreciated ! As to bed situation, the little grippy feet etc have been replaced so all hopefully good for use . Many thanks for feedback always helpful, and was lovely to have met you Property Owner
