River Cottage a country retreat in wooded gardens

Comfortable and secluded. Old worldy which was quaint but beautiful.

If you have a dog that wanders it could be an issue as front gate doesn’t shut. However, not a problem with our well behaved Border collie.

Cosy comfortable and good location !

The location is convenient for trips to the beach. The outside seating area made for pleasant socialising in the sunshine. Ample parking was extremely useful. Comfortable beds and lovely en-suite bathroom.

The garden needs a lot of attention. The property is a little tired and musty and requires decoration and airing. The nearby road and rail line , although giving us few problems, should be included in the details. It would be useful to provide an area that was safe for dogs as we worried that they could escape through the hedge. There is a blind spot when leaving the property and joining the main road.

Good bed's, God facilities, smartly decorated

The sofas had a noticeable smell (mould?)

It was home from home and we were pleasantly surprised at the amount of space we had for 5 adults- lots of bits n bobs to look at and even a game’s cupboard which kept us entertained! Everything was clean - the dogs loved the walk up the lane each evening and the log burner was lovely to sit round in the evening.

Nothing

Location was perfect. Beautiful house and gardens. A traditional home that is obviously much loved by its owners.

Would have liked at least one cupboard in the kitchen to have been empty. On the last night the shooting was very load and sounded very near late into the evening, my dog was terrified to the point I nearly called an emergency vet to sedate him.

The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. We appreciated the games cupboard and use of things in the shed on rainy days. It was lovely to have so much parking space and we really enjoyed the garden. A good location for Corfe Castle and Swanage. A real home from home.

Nothing to dislike about the cottage. The only thing I didn't enjoy was navigating the blind right turn out of the lane. Maybe put a mirror up so you could see oncoming traffic. Everything else, lovely.
