The house and gardens more than lived up to expectations. The welcome basket was the best we have ever seen, the White Company minis were a lovely touch and the owners made us feel very welcome. Would certainly consider a repeat visit if travelling to this part of Dorset again. Thank you.

The house just hits you with a Wow factor on entering, with its layout, decor and facilities. Then, when you discover the owners have worked very hard on providing everything you could want or need, makes you relax much more into the dream. With out of this world views of the country, great coastal locations to visit within short drives, the only thing we regret is not booking for longer! Many thanks for having us stay in the dream Pomme Blushe House

The cottage is gorgeous. set in a calm serene farm 8-10 minutes drive from Bridport. The cottage is well equipped with all modern amenities and comforts. The welcome hamper was very thoughtfully put together. We enjoyed the stay and will be back for more if we are in the area again !
