Guests that stayed at this property said
There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide an accurate score.
The location is highly regarded for its tranquillity, attractive village setting, and easy access to local amenities and historical sites. It is also within driving distance of the Jurassic coast, making it an ideal base for exploration.
Guests find the cottage to be very comfortable, with spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and a large outside lawn. The presence of a wood burner and the dog-friendly environment contribute to the overall comfort.
The cottage is well-furnished and equipped, with a BBQ area and tennis court. However, some minor maintenance issues like sticking doors and the need for a non-slip mat in the bath were mentioned.
While guests express gratitude and enjoyment of their stay, there is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the host, so a score cannot be given.

We really enjoyed our stay. The doors stuck a little bit (will have swelled during winter) so could do with a plane as some internal doors wouldn't shut and the back door was difficult to open. Additionally it would've been nice to have some more basic supplies provided like soap in the bathroom or more than 2 loo rolls for the week.
