    We had a lovely stay at Piddle Cottage, our dogs first holiday, We had beautiful weather and a great garden to enjoy which is in a great part of the country - the cottage was spot on. The highlights of the many places nearby we visited included, Kingston Lacey - Beer Festival, Burton Bradstock - Hive Beach and was not too busy at all, The Three Horseshoes Pub for a Sunday Lunch, Weymouth - to enjoy Bennetts Fish and Chips, Portland, Corfe Castle, Pig on the Beach has an excellent setting and food, Lulworth Castle and Durdle Door, Dinner at the Thimble Inn - great pub and worth the wait. Loved the thoughtful touches at the cottage.

  • The M Family

    This is our third visit here, we had 3 nights in Piddle Cottage and then 4 nights in Cosy Cottage. We were lucky to have gorgeous weather and sat out in the sunshine, in the garden until late in the evening. We would recommend visiting Athelhampton house and Ringstead beach. The cottage has everything and we are already planning our next visit soon/.

  • The J Family

    Our second stay and just as lovely as before. So comfortable, well equipped and peaceful. We have had a week of sunshine and then taken full advantage of the garden. We hope to be back. Thank you.
