Guest Reviews
- Maria (10/5): - Hervorragende liebevoll gestaltete Einrichtung. Zugang zu einem wunderschönen Garten und sogar beheizten Pool. Wir wurden ganz zauberhaft begrüßt und eingewiesen; zusätzlich erwartete uns selbst gebackener Kuchen sowie Mich, Eier und Butter für das erste Frühstück Es gab überhaupt nichts auszusetzen
- Frances (10/5): Lovely, lovely, lovely - Excellent location for exploring central Dorset. Beautiful peaceful garden setting. The hosts gave us a warm welcome and were on hand to recommend local activities even though they had provided a comprehensive manual on the property and the area. The cottage was restored with tasteful decor, quality fittings and a high level of attention to detail. We loved our stay here and would happily return.
- sally (10/5): A relaxing and peaceful experience - The location, the grounds, the cottage itself was immaculate, well fitted out, lots of thought and detail. Nothing all was spot on.
- Darren (10/5): Incredible - Amazing place, very accomodating would stay again Nothing to dislike
- Donna (10/5): - Cosy, clean, child friendly, flexible and private Nil
- Caroline (10/5): - Very clean cosy and comfortable 0
- Bruno (9/5): -
- Helen (10/5): Superb 2 bedroomed holiday cottage - This was a fantastic cottage in beautiful, well kept & extensive gardens. The hosts have thought of everything. The cottage was immaculately clean & had everything we needed. The kitchen was fully equipped with a washing machine, microwave, coffee machine & fridge freezer. The living room was cosy & comfortable & upstairs were 2 lovely bedrooms and a shower room. There is also a downstairs toilet. The hosts are friendly & left a welcome pack with bread, milk, eggs & a homemade cake. We enjoyed using the heated outdoor pool. Each cottage has a private patio area with a table, chairs & a bbq. The local pub is a 2 minute walk through a gate at the bottom of the garden. Great location within easy driving distance of Dorchester & tourist attractions. We would definitely recommend Gamekeeper's Cottage & would go back again. The staircase is narrow & quite steep, so would not be suitable for those with mobility issues.
- Nicholas (10/5): An outstanding place to stay. - The hosts have thought of everything!
- Alex (10/5): AMAZING WHAT A GEM! - Absolute incredible stay and a gem of a find! From the pristine accommodation to the most friendly hosts, homemade cake on arrival and fresh milk/eggs!
Amazing we will be back! Nothing at all!
- Alex (9/5): Superb -
- Don (10/5): Exceptional -
- James (10/5): Lovely cottage in a beautiful location with lovely hosts -
- Stephanie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Diane (10/5): An address to remember! - The owners have really made an effort to make the cottage as cosy and welcoming as possible. They are on site and available without being intrusive. Everything was quality and tasteful - excellent night's sleep. We were snug even in a cold, wet March (lots of details like warm throws) without using the wood burning stove; it would have been very toasty warm if we had. Gardens are beautifully kept with flowers, trees and wildlife to admire from the kitchen window. Thoughtful touches like bread, milk and butter when we arrived.
- Chelsea (10/5): Exceptional - The host, Adele, was absolutely wonderful. Her cottages were immaculately cared for- from the beds, to the kitchen and the beautiful grounds. My girls loved the playground and gardens! Can't wait to return and take advantage of the pool!
- Steven (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sandra (10/5): Exceptional value for money. Could not put into words how lovely the cottage was. - The grounds were gorgeous. The cottage decor was exceptional and very comfortable we all had an excellent little break and will be back. The addition of a cake, butter, bread and eggs was very thoughtful. We managed to view the others cottages and they are also amazing.
- Chris (10/5): Exceptional - This accommodation is amazing. Fantastic hosts, a really beautiful location with a wonderful local pub. Great for couples or a family. Would 100% recommend and return. Thank you
