Tolpuddle Hideaway, Tolpuddle, Dorset

The property had everything you would want for a successful holiday. The location was near to places of interest and a lot of trouble had been gone to by the owners to provide information about the area, where to eat out and even a TV channel guide.

Location was excellent, the village of Tolpuddle is extremely pretty and the TUC Martyrs Museum was great. Good access to Clouds Hill, Bovington Tank Museum and Monkey World. Only an hour from Stonehenge. Beverly, the host, met us and explained all we needed to know about the house. She was very pleasant and helpful. Supplied us with a list of local pubs and restaurants. The house had many games and jigsaw puzzles to keep a family entertained on a rainy day. The house was very comfortable and homely. The kitchen had all the equipment required if you wanted to cook a meal.

Tolpuddle Hideaway is a beautiful little country house. Quiet, clean and cosy. An ideal base for exploring the area.

The accommodation was perfectly adequate for the weekend. We hope to come again in the future. The owner was very welcoming. The accommodation was comfortable. A nice welcome pack of biscuits, tea, coffee and milk were left for us. Parking was in front of the accommodation and very safe.

None of the below would prevent us from staying again, these are purely recommendations to the owner: The garden terrace wasn't offered until the last evening, and we couldn't see anything about it in the documentation, so would have been nice to have known that when we arrived (if it's available to use would be good to add that to the documentation). Alternatively, a seat outside, just in front of the lounge window, would be nice to sit on in the sunshine as not much sunshine comes in the property. A freezer or freezer compartment in the fridge and bread knife would also be welcome in the accommodation.

quiet, clean, good base for touring, friendly welcome

Very clean, very comfortable, and warm. Great location and very friendly, helpful owners.

You rarely stay somewhere that exceeds expectations. The space available for 2 people was amazing. If they had a roll away you could easily take 3. Not far from Dorchester and easy access to the places of interest in Dorset. On site car parking and Tolpuddle itself is a lovely Dorset village. The host provided lots of info on eateries etc. And offered to help with any questions. Pricewise you may think the Tolpuddle is more than you usually pay. Dorset is not a cheap holiday area so keep this in mind.

You would have to be very picky to criticise but Beverly and Ted might like the feedback. The hand basin is under a window so no mirror above. Could the host provide a freestanding mirror on the shelf? As i say not a reason not to stay.
