We had a splendid time at the Old Post Office. The cottage itself is very charming, very old and very beautiful. It is quite large so that all members of the family can find their favourits spot. It is well equipped and we wouldn't have minded to have more rainy days in order to have more time for reading or browsing the books on the village history. The garden is charming, it looks lovely and it is great to sit outside and listen to the various birds. The surrounding is rural and we loved to discover it walking. We knew that Thomas Hardy's cottage is in walking distance, but we didn't know that his old school house is just the house opposite, great for all Hardy fans. Stinsford and the Kingston Maurward Estate with the animal farm and splendid gardens are just 10 mins walking - we could have spent the two weeks just in the near surrounding ... However, the countryside and especially the coast are beautiful and wild, the towns and villages are pictoresque, there are some really nice beaches, some really lonely and wild places, always amazing views and a lovely coffeeshop nearbye.
In a nutshell: we had lovely two weeks, we did not imagine the cottage and location to be so very beautiful and we are already thinking of going again :)
