A wonderful, well equipped and beautifully situated cottage. Extremely comfortable bed and excellent shower. The garden was really lovely and we enjoyed the church bells too. Fantastic location with everything you could need within walking distance as well as a huge range of stunning walks from the door step. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and lookRead more forward to visiting again. Hide

Nice cottage. Bed very comfortable and shower excellent. Glad the garden now has a lawn. Dog loved it. Ate in the greyhound pub which has a good menu with different specials every night. Suggest you book as it is very popular.

A very good location for this quirky cottage, right in the centre of the small town and easy to get to all the local attractions. Parking is on the street and while occasionally we couldn't park right outside, generally we had no problems with this. The cottage was well-equipped, the kitchen had everything needed for a week's stay and the showeRead morer was very good. A large and comfy bed as well. The stairs are very narrow and difficult to negotiate for anyone with mobility issues. However it is in need of some TLC throughout, as while the place was clean, it looks tired and would benefit from some fresh paint and updating on some of the fixtures like blinds. The garden is particularly bad and looked like it had not been touched all summer. It was so overgrown with weeds that it made it unusable during our stay which was disappointing as we booked this based on the photos so our dog could go outside into the enclosed garden. The front outside area was also full of weeds and with all the bins there does not give a good first impression. Hide

We found the cottage to be perfectly located for visiting the local cafes and restaurants, and close enough to many other Dorset locales for sight-seeing. It was clean, well furnished and comfortable. We would happily stay again!

From the street the cottage looks small. Do not be deceived! Once inside and beyond the lobby you are in a very large and well appointed lounge area. Comfy sofas and some rugs on the enormous stone flags. Huge log burner in the fireplace (not used but, looks like it would be great in the colder months). Large TV above sideboard so, if is raining orRead more you just want to chill or watch TV, you're sorted. Dining room and kitchen are big enough and have all of the facilities you need. Storage is a bit "tight" but, just rearrange a bit and you should be ok (we did, we were). Bathroom has a great shower and everything else you need. Main bedroom to the front is large and houses a superking bed. I think there is a second bedroom but, we didn't have access to it. From the outside this looks to be quite large. The garden is a peaceful haven but, was being changed/updated when we were there. Sure the stairs are steep but, its just how it was when the property was built. Parking can be a pain but we managed to park in the street every day. The walk to the car park in the square is 5 minutes so, not the end of the world. Enjoy your stay, we recommend it! Hide
