    Lovely warm, comfortable bungalow with lots of thoughtful touches. Although on a largish housing estate it was very quiet, with negligible passing traffic. You can walk to the shops and a pub. If you have a dog the gated access to the trailway is a HUGE asset. We would be happy to return someday. One minor issue we had was dealt with promptly by the owner. All good!

    Lovely bungalow very homely. We enjoyed walking to the local village. The garden was safe for our dogs and a pleasant aspect.

  • Andrew Harris

    The owners have obviously put a lot of thought and attention into the property. The information, detailed in the welcome pack is excellent and was much appreciated. The location is good, with easy access onto The Castleman Trail, which we used to walk to Wimborne Minster and back and another day, using it to walk to Poole (stopping off at Upton Country Park) and back. Easy, level walking too. Lovely property, well cared for, with a nice level garden too. We would certainly recommend this property. Thankyou.
