- Renaud (10/5): Beautiful cottage. Lovely hosts. -
- Nicholas (10/5): Absolutely lovely, beautiful cottage, and grounds, friendly hosts. Will be back - The gardens were amazing. Lovely clean, warm and well equipped kitchen. Could do with a tumble dryer say in an outbuilding for all the properties to use as took a while to dry clothes.
- Edwinsmith (10/5): - Comfortable Bath needed a hand rail to assist getting in and out
- Katie (10/5): Amazing in every way will return - The grounds are huge and stunningly maintained, the swimming pool is warm
And beautiful and the cottage is spotlessly clean and the attention to detail is fantastic. Nothing it was perfect
- Richard (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful cottage with all you need and more, so much thought put in. Nigel & Adele are amazing hosts, you will want for nothing, so kind and helpful. It's so cosy you won't want to leave, would definitely return.
- Luke (10/5): 10/10 - Liked everything! Location, comfort, scenery, hosts, everything! Will stay anytime I am in the area from now on.
- Georgina (10/5): A perfect place to stay which we couldn’t recommend highly enough. - Woodcutter’s Cottage is an absolutely beautiful place to stay. The cottage was immaculate on our arrival and every room was fabulously well equipt and furnished with everything we could have needed. The cottage is also set in beautiful gardens.
Adele and Nigel had left excellent instructions about everything in the cottage, as well as some really useful local information and recommendations.
They also, very thoughtfully left milk, bread, butter and a delicious home baked cake. Such kind touches which we really appreciated.
- Steve (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful cottage, exceptionally equipped with everything you could need. Very friendly and knowledgeable hosts. Wonderful welcome pack with scrumptious homemade cake. Definitely going back in summer to enjoy the pool and gardens.
- Sonia (10/5): Exceptional - Exceptionally clean and comfortable with friendly and helpful hosts. Stairs are narrow but they are ok
- Pamela (10/5): Perfect- great hosts, comfy, clean, beau grounds, heated pool, 2 mins to pub, in central Dorset. - The cottage was perfect with great helpful hosts. Chosen for its central location as we'd planned to tour the county. The pool was amazing - my daughter went in it every day, despite the weather. Wouldn't hesitate to return if visiting the area again. Nothing.
- Mandy (10/5): Beautiful cottage and gardens - The beautiful pool, gardens and well equipped, immaculate cottage. The thoughtful welcome package. Easy walk to the local pub and small store. Great hosts ! Having to leave. Steps up to the upper floor and down into the kitchen definitely not for the less mobile.
- Ray (9/5): Beautiful & peaceful countryside break! - Dominey’s Yard was a beautiful place to stay; beautifully furnished, the grounds are tranquil and the hosts are fantastic. Adele even baked a cake for us on arrival!! You do have to have a car to commute to the nearby Jurassic coast and for a variety of restaurants & pubs.
- Maggie (10/5): A very relaxing, peaceful stay, situated in a beautiful setting. Would 100% come back! - Our lovely hosts had kindly left us a delicious loaf of bread & some lovely butter, not to mention a cake! Plus, eggs! A pint of milk & tea, coffee & sugar - as well as a coffee machine! Also, a print out of local events in the area, together with a folder of interesting notes. We were very impressed. I would highly recommend this holiday cottage to anyone. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It also has a fab, heated swimming pool!
Adele & Nigel are so nice & thoughtful. N/A
