The house was very tired and felt unloved. It was well equipped however most things were chipped or below standard. I could list it but seems petty as was not one major thing just lots of little things which wasn't conducive to a relaxing stay. Sadly we won't return.

A lovely tranquil place to stay, in beautiful surroundings and still handy for the town.The tricky part is that 2 of the bedrooms are awkward to access, and this needs showing more clearly.One has a low beam to duck under at entrance ((about 5 ft 6in), and the third bedroom is accessed through the second.If you can cope with this then you'll have a great time.

As a family of 6 we enjoyed a marvellous week at the Coach House which was clean, very well appointed with a fantastic pool with a water slide (maybe just a little warmer for the younger children?) There are shops a 5 minute walk away, a selection of pubs and restaurants and activities: the RSPB Arne reserve is just 5 miles away, Bovington Tank Museum and Monkey World about 12 miles, superb beaches at Studland, Weymouth, Swanage, the Dinosaur Museum in Dorchester and further afield Paultons theme park about an hour away with exciting rides for older children and adults and Peppa Pig World for younger children. A great property with so much to do.
