Guest Reviews
- Cassandra (8/5): Great! - There are literally only two improvements I can think of…, a decent hairdryer, and a rug in the living room. Such a great place and really nice people. Thank you for hosting us.
- Carla (10/5): Perfect. - Clean and comfortable. Well equipped. Access through the owners garden.
- Montella (10/5): - Appartamento molto curato, posizione tranquilla e strategica per visitare le attrazioni principali. I proprietari sempre disponibili e gentili. Parcheggio comodissimo, davanti a casa.. Le finestre delle camere non si possono oscurare completamente.
- monique (8/5): Heerlijk - Fijne verzorgde appartement, vriendelijke host, centrale ligging
- linda (10/5): Easy to find. Lovely hosts. Beautiful location. - Fantastic. Exceptionally friendly and welcoming hosts. Beautiful property. Very clean. Had everything we needed and more. Would definitely go again. Absolutely nothing.
- Christian (9/5): -
- Clayton (9/5): Exceeded expectations and would happily return for a longer stay. - The cottage was exceptionally well kitted out, in particular the kitchen, which had everything one might find its one's own home (In my experience, this is unusual for holiday accommodation). The decor was very tasteful, but also homely. There were many little (but standout) details to enjoy (really fluffy towels, large choice of shower gels, Sky TV, VERY comfortable bed - not common). Road outside was quiet, and parking was really easy. The bedrooms did not have covers for all the window panes, and so in July, one can be awoken early by the dawn.
- Linda (10/5): Very comfortable - Very clean, kitchen well equipped, good location if you want to be rural.
- Katharine (10/5): Half term holiday in Dorset - A great 6 day stay in a very well-equipped and comfortable property, with a sunny seating area outside. Our hosts were very helpful and on hand to answer any questions. A convenient location for exploring Dorset.
- Alexandra (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lynn (10/5): Relaxing and comfortable stay. Would highly recommend - The cottage was in a peaceful location. Parking space available outside the property.
Inside was very clean and comfortable and Steven & Marian had thought of every comfort you would need for your stay.
- Alison (10/5): Perfect! - This is a gem; the perfect base for exploring Dorchester and the surrounding area. The hosts were friendly and very helpful. The cottage is spacious, beautifully furnished and immaculately clean. It had everything we needed and the milk and wine was a lovely touch too. The WiFi was fast. There are lots of USB ports for charging. The pub down the road is worth a visit; the food was excellent and the staff were very friendly.
- Daniel (10/5): WE REALLY ENJOYED STAYING IN THIS LOVELY COTTAGE AND WOULD LOVE TO STAY AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. - THE FRIENDLY WELCOME BY THE HOST, THE CLEANLINESS, THE STYLE OF THE PROPERTY. NOTHING.
- Jenny (10/5): Quiet village location within easy reach of services. - Welcoming hosts. Explained where everything was located in the cottage. Cake, milk and a bottle of wine on arrival. Instructions for all appliances. Contact phone numbers for both our hosts and a genuine give us a call about questions you may have. Nothing.
- Carol (10/5): Marion and Steve are the perfect hosts. Very friendly and welcoming. - It was self catered. The kitchen was very well equipped Nothing! Everything was perfect
- Carl (10/5): Excellent - Excellent location, super property and host.. a++
- Norman (10/5): Quiet cosy stay in the middle of Dorset - We could park directly on front of the property and just off the main road. Very quiet location, yet within easy reach of Dorchester and main routes to other parts of Dorset. The property was very well equipped, with a super-abundance of crockery and ovenware. N/A
- Beverley (9/5): Perfect for our short stay - Property was in ideal location for our needs. Stocked well with all our needs. Very clean. Private. Would have preferred 2 shower cubicles instead of 1 wet room as everything gets very wet. Could have a bowl for the kitchen sink as worried about damaging it and a pair of scissors for the kitchen would have been good.
- Claire (10/5): Short Stay. - Owners are lovely and we were made to feel very welcome. As a fussy holiday maker, I can't stress enough how clean this property is. Absolutely spotless!! Immaculate !! Nothing negative to say at all. Facilities were great - they have thought of everything. It's like a wee home from home with everything you need for a perfect stay.
- Kurt (9/5): We had a lovely stay in a nice house with lovely hosts 🩷 - The hosts were very nice and helpful
The house was nice clean comfy and very nicely decorated It wasn't possible to make the room dark .
And the beds were a little bit to small for 2 persons
- Partha (9/5): Good location for the Jurrassic coast and the surrounding s - The property had all the comforts of home . The owners were very helpful and friendly . Good place to relax as well None
- Karen (10/5): A relaxing stay in a well appointed and situated cottage - Clean and very well appointed. Really helpful and pleasant owners Nothing
- H (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent facilities and location. Friendly hosts
- Yvonne (10/5): A beautifully clean and comfortable cottage in a quiet location. - Great welcome from the owners. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Easy parking. Quiet location with an excellent pub 10 minutes walk away. Very comfortable beds. It’s a bit cosy round the dining table but can’t really do much about this, limited by space in the cottage. Needs some sort of blinds at the sides of the bay windows in the bedrooms as the light comes in early, but I know the owners are looking at this.
- Cathryn (10/5): The perfect cottage retreat - The cottage was absolutely perfect, so beautifully decorated and kitted out with everything we needed for our short stay. Cosy and clean vibes, light and airy. The beds were do comfortable, I slept soundly both nights (the best I've slept for years) and the bedroom windows made the perfect place to read a book in the morning sun, also had the use of wardrobes and draws so you didn't have to live out of the suitcase. The garden is a perfect relaxing sun trap, lovely place to pop your feet up and relax with loungers and a table & chairs.
Bathrooms were both great, lovely showers with a great water pressure and temp. The whole cottage was spotlessly clean, the cleanest place I've stayed.
The hosts were exceptional; so welcoming and friendly, nothing to much trouble. The whole atmosphere of the cottage coupled with the warm welcome and helpful hosts made it a perfect stay, we would have extended our stay if we could have but had to go back to reality. Thank you Stephen and Marian for the perfect, relaxing stay.
- Christine (10/5): Lovely stay with all the facilities / amenities you need - Loved the cottage did not stay long as spent most of our time at my daughters in Charlton Down. But very warm and cosy
Had everything and more in the kitchen. Dining table would have been better in the kitchen by the stairs instead of the work surface.
Very comfortable beds. Plenty of hot water. The table in the living room took up too much space. Had to move the chairs to be able to see the tv was quite cramped. We all agreed that the table and chairs would be better in the corner of the kitchen by the stairs. Would give more room in the lounge and you would be able to watch tv comfortably.
Could do with a full length mirror in the second bedroom.
And perhaps a hairdryer
- Gabrielle (9/5): Superb -
- Paula (10/5): Exceptional - A truely lovely accommodation. Spotlessly clean and decorated to a high standard. We enjoyed a very comfortable Christmas stay. Stephen could not have done more for us. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. Thank you. Will definitely stay again.
- Mark (9/5): Great Location, Great Stay. - Great Location, Great Stay. N/A
