What a wonderful place to stay! So many fabulous places to visit: Portland Bill, Lyme Regis, Swanage, Seatown, Weymouth and Bournemouth! Puddle Cottage is at the top of our list of places to return to! Everything was exceptional!

Thank you so much for a lovely stay in your delightful cottage. I have stayed in many cottages throughout the country, but I cannot recall one so clean and immaculate with so much thought and detail. The gardens are also very neat and tidy. The welcome basket that greets you on arrival was also a treat! We do hope to return to enjoy another stay here.

We booked Piddle and Puddle cottage with my parents, young daughter and dog for a short break. The cottages were perfect, such a beautiful place and the gardens are absolutely stunning. We were very blessed with the weather and the cottages are in the perfect location to enjoy country walks, trips to the beach and relaxing in the sunshine in the garden. Such a lovely stay - we don't want to leave.
