Lovely, roomy house in a beautiful location. Very easy to get to and very handy for popular locations such as Paulton's Park (20m) and Bournemouth (35m). Garden is spacious and has plenty of seating. Great pub (the Fighting Cocks) right on the doorstep for a lovely drink/food. Strongly recommended.

Our granddaughters loved the big garden and the ponies and donkeys that came to the gate! With plenty of walks on the doorstep and only about half an hour from the coast it's a perfect place to stay.
