We very much enjoyed our recent stay in The Linnets. Being located Beaminster made it a good location for us to use as a base to visit other parts of Dorset. The cottage was very clean, comfortable & had everything we needed. It was very roomy. We’d been left a pint of milk & scones, jam & cream for our arrival, which was very much appreciated. Thanks also to Jess, the caretaker for answering queries, very helpful indeed.The shower was excellent. The bed was comfortable, despite the fact I prefer a firmer bed. We didn’t use the kitchen for cooking, so can’t comment about that facility as we only had breakfast there & sandwich at end of the day, as ate main meal out.We’d definitely stay again if in the area in the future.

Stayed at Linnets a few times and always super clean, comfortable and in the town so access to everywhere is within walking distance. Parking space an added bonus.
