Can't rate high for local amenities because it's SO quiet! Which was great! Perfect for a peaceful getaway and to use as a base for days out etc. 25mins to the coast and perfect for exploring the beautiful towns in the local area. Perfect if u dont mind driving tiny country lanes.. Highly recommended..

We had a lovely stay in this idyllic cottage. Immaculately clean and high specification in a very rural tranquil location. Ideal for couples. Great location with National Trust properties and Lyme Regis / Jurassic Coast within 30 minutes. We would definitely return again.
