Relaxing and very enjoyable weekend!

Myself and 5 friends had such a lovely relaxing weekend in this clean, comfortable property with amazing views! The hot tub was perfect. Chris was on hand with information of the area. We enjoyed a trip into Shaftesbury and walked down Gold Hill (Hovis advert). Excellent pub at the bottom of the hill, Ye Olde Two Brewers - lovely English and greek food. We'd all definitely recommend this property and want to go back ASAP, although we might order some sunshine next time!

An excellent holiday venue with every facility. The hot tub at sunset is highly recommend.

An excellent experience of which the highlight has to be being able to watch the ‘ladies’ of the dairy herd giving birth in the field beside us and being able to pet the very friendly ‘girls’.who were as interested in us as we were in them.

Lovely property, in a great setting with hot tub

Had a really lovely stay in a very well appointed timber framed property. We weren't overlooked by the other 3 similar rental properties and could enjoy the hot tub in private. The property itself had everything we needed, invoicing indoor and outdoor games, dishwasher, washing machine etc. The freezer is quite small in the built in fridge, but the hosts have provided an extra freezer that can be plugged in. Lovely hosts who had the time to chat and we could even see the milking process in the farm. We had several cows give birth in the field next to us and it was lovely to see the newborn calves running around. The only downside is being next to a field for cows there were quite a few flies so we had to keep the doors shut, but it didn't reduce our enjoyment of the property. There's also a really decent sized shared grass area at the back of the properties that is perfect for sport and the games room is definitely worth a visit.

Disappointing

Lovely property. Unfortunately the owner was very cold and charged us additional for clean up. We were 6 30year old women who left the place spotless, all the glasses washed up and left in the right places, used towels in the bath etc. So to get an email nit picking on minute bits and charging us additional for clean up was very unexpected. No wonder we were the only ones staying there. Very disappointing.

Short weekend stay

Lovely property you are meant to check in at 4pm we got there early at 3.30pm Chalet still being cleaned we quickly used a toilet after a long journey then went off for a drink to allow them to finish. Was a bit disappointed when arrived at 5.15pm to be told was was late for check in. Later she came to see us and this was resolved. Can’t fault property and hot tube. Located in very quiet rural area.

A beautiful place to relax

The chalet is very well cared for an equipped. The beds are comfortable. A beautiful view from the hot tub to watch the setting sun. The games room was a bonus for the family to burn off some energy. Definitely recommended.

Fabulous chalet. Extremely clean and well organised.

Absolutely fab chalet. Great for family get together. Super hot tub with great view not over looked. Very quiet and peaceful. Large games room for the young and better for the oldies remembering their days at the youth club.table tennis. Table football air hockey. Plenty of laughing. The whole farm is a great place to recharge your batteries. Can not thank you enough Christina . Maureen & Ian Holloway . Lancashire. Angela freer Tenterden.
