Such a perfect place to stay.

Such a perfect place to stay. It had everything you could wish for.The rooms were furnished to a high stansard. I loved the large double bedroom with ensuite.The kitchen was very large, with plenty of cupboard space. We will definitely be going back for another stay.

Extremely dog- friendly

A lovely place to stay, slightly off the tourist track, peaceful, rural. The property is wonderful for dogs, our two pointers had a great time. Only half an hours drive to wonderful beaches on the Jurassic coast, which in low season (we were here in March) are great for dogs too. A very comfortable and relaxing stay.

Lovely, clean, comfortable cottage and friendly owners.

Lovely, clean, comfortable cottage and friendly owners. Only downside was that the enclosed garden was across the farms driveway which meant the dogs had to be put on a lead to take there and could not be left outside alone. As we had rather a lot of rain, this was quite inconvenient.Although there is a pub a short walk along the road, it was hardly open and not serving food on some days. We had one nice meal there, but the second meal we had was very poor. There is another pub “The Squirrel” 2 miles away, which means driving, but was much nicer.
