A warm welcome and incredible hamper greeted us. Hopeful spring weather all week, with cosy fires and aga cooking in the evenings. Our daughter and dog adored paddling in the ford, whilst we enjoyed the hot tub. Lyme Regis and Charmouth yielded fossil finds and ice-cream. Our favourite day was spent building dens, stroking horses and exploring Roman Roads, heaths and Hardy's Cottage at Puddletown Forest. The copper bath is bliss. Many thanks.
