What a lovely cottage you have. We were amazed at your collection of cookware in the well-equipped kitchen. We liked the cute upstairs, it was like being in a boat galley. The beds were great and gave us good nights of sleep. Unfortunately, we didn't get to enjoy your lovely garden because of the rain, Thank you for the welcome hamper, special little touches like that puts a smile on our faces the minute we stepped into your cottage. Hope to return one day. Thank you.

Thank you so much for a wonderful week, beginning with the superb welcome hamper, a very thoughtful touch. We have had so much fun exploring Thomas Hardy country, eating in fantastic hostelries, and coming "home" to relax in your cosy cottage filled with so many personal touches. We found Cerne Abbas itself to be the friendliest village with a remarkable history. The warm pasty from the excellent village store is delicious!

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful village in a beautiful county! Thank you for letting us enjoy such a comfortable homely residence. The village is one of the friendliest we've been to. We recommend The Red Lion for the best pies! And Abbotsbury, Ringstead and Hardy's Monument for the best walks.
