Snaptrip says
The Mouse House is a quaint cottage appreciated for its peacefulness and ideal location for exploring Dorset. Guests enjoyed the comfortable bed, the warmth provided by underfloor heating, and the property's cleanliness. While some found the kitchen facilities basic and the Wi-Fi spotty, the charm of the cottage and its surroundings often outweighed these concerns. The property's suitability for dogs was noted, although the garden's security for pets was a concern for one guest.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found The Mouse House to be clean and tidy, with only one mention of it not being as clean as expected. The property was generally well-presented upon arrival.
The location is highly praised for its tranquility and convenience as a base for exploring Dorset, with easy access to nearby towns and attractions. The natural surroundings and quiet environment were highlights for many guests.
Guests found the cottage comfortable, particularly noting the comfortable bed and underfloor heating. However, some mentioned that the seating could be more comfortable and that the bathroom was cold.
The facilities received mixed reviews. While some guests were satisfied with the basic amenities, others found the lack of a conventional oven and the small fridge limiting. The Wi-Fi connectivity was also noted as inconsistent.
There were no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to assess this category accurately. Therefore, the score is set to null.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location very quiet and peaceful. Plenty of stunning walks in the area which was great for the dogs. Cottage was clean and tidy and was very warm and cosy. Would definitely stay again.

Situated in a quiet location so very peaceful and came back home refreshed. Only negatives would be 1. It would be nice to have a pint of milk in the fridge on arrival to make a drink after journey to get there. 2. Fridge very small for self catering,I realise space is limited but maybe a power point added to the porch would allow for a larger fridge freezer to be fitted.3. The WiFi was poor. Besides those three things everything else was excellent.

Good facilities apart from poor WiFi. Very clean and tidy in a very quiet location. Owners were very friendly but do not bother you. Pets are welcome but dogs are expected to stay in the entrance hall. If we had taken him our pooch would not gave liked that as he is always with us. Would definitely use this property again, really enjoyed our week there.
