Reviewers consistently mention the cleanliness of the property, highlighting it as well-maintained and spotless. The attention to detail in this regard contributes to the overall positive experience.
The property's location is frequently praised for its quiet setting, easy access to local amenities, and proximity to Dorset's attractions. The surrounding countryside and nearby walks are also appreciated.
Guests find the property comfortable, with special mentions of cosy beds and living spaces. However, a few comments about hard mattresses suggest there is room for improvement in this area.
The facilities, including a well-stocked games room and secure gardens, are well-received. Some minor maintenance issues are noted, such as shower fixtures, but these do not significantly detract from the overall positive feedback.
The provision of welcome gifts like milk, biscuits, and even a cake is frequently mentioned and adds to the welcoming atmosphere. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it is politely noted that such extras are subject to availability and not guaranteed.

The photos donât really do it justice. Everything is provided and the conversion has been very elegantly done. It was clean and comfortable and easy to warm up when we arrived. We hired a cottage for 6 and other family members were able to join us by hiring one of the other cottages. An excellent location for larger groups. Thank you.

Quality finishes including all you need to self-cater, comfortable bed and sofas and quality shower and bath. Peaceful setting although with easy access to towns, country pubs and coast. Would definitely return and recommend without hesitation.

The place was absolutely spotless, including all outside areas and shared games room. The property is well stocked with everything you can think of. Special touches provided such as tea, coffee, milk and cleaning products were most appreciated. Although we didn't light it, everything needed for the log burner was also supplied, with extras available to buy on site. 10/10 would definitely recommend, no buts or ifs! Location is in a beautiful village and surrounding areas worth a visit as all stunning. Pub is walkable, but no pavement so bring a torch if you're heading back in the dark! Garden secure for dog.
