Beautiful cottage with everything you could need. Carole and John were wonderful hosts and were on hand for any questions. Lovely quiet location but handy for local shops and supermarkets. Ideally placed to visit Weymouth, Portland, Lyme Regis and many more places. New forest is only 1hr 15mins away as is the beautiful Stourhead house and gardens which I highly recommend. We'll definitely be back.

Even Henry has his own little home under the stairs. The owners are friendly and helpful, with ideas for activities in the locality. The upside-down layout makes best use of the space available. The upstairs open-plan kitchen, dining, living space is comfortable and warm, with a library of books detailing the delights of the region. The underfloor heating in the bathroom is an unexpected luxury. The enclosed garden is brilliant for dog owners. The greenhouse has a range of chairs and covers for when the sun shines. There is so much more, and probably even more than that, which we did not find in our short stay.
