Loved the thoughtful touches at the cottage.

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/.

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.
