We stayed here the first week of August as a multi generational family group. We were 4 adults and 4 young children aged 10 months to 6 years old. The house was perfect, spacious, modern features but heaps of character. Short walk to the beach and a great park in the village. Next to the pub but not noisy. Owners are friendly and attentive. Thanks so much! Alex

A lovely weeks holiday with all the family. Spacious, comfortable accommodation, pretty garden and friendly, picturesque village. Location is great, close to the sea and fun trips on the bus to West Bay and Weymouth.

What a wonderful house for a family holiday. Lots of space indoor and out for everyone. The village is beautiful with pubs, beach, walks and a great bus route. The house is well equipped for a large group, the kitchen and communal dining space had room for us all and the house just feels so welcoming. We had one of our best ever holidays here and would be very happy to return.
