A family holiday for three generations and 2 dogs. Cottage was spacious and extremely well equipped. Off road parking and fully enclosed garden for the dogs. Garden table and chairs plus bbq was a bonus! Supermarkets within ten minute drive. Dorset is a beautiful county, suitable for all ages.

Loved this cottage which was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities needed. Jeanette the owner was very friendly and helpful. The downstairs had plenty of space and good size kitchen and downstairs toilet. The outside garden was perfect for relaxing and listening to the birds. Our two dogs were well catered for with watering bowl and doggy treats.The bedrooms were comfortable and we slept very well.Very good parking available in front drive Would highly recommend
