Lovely house, plenty of space, well equipped, really comfortable and tidy. Nice to have plenty of parking space too, as we had 4 cars between a group of 9, coming from different parts of the country. Great location, very handy for a long weekend in South Dorset.

The cottage was perfect and so well equipped. The owners decorated wonderfully for the festive season and the welcome basket was such a welcome touch. We all absolutely loved it. It is in a lovely village and so easy to find. I have never stayed anywhere so well equipped from the kitchen down to entertainment. Not the weather to be outside much butRead more the kids loved the nature trail and in the warmer weather would have been outside in the enormous space all the time. Four children though had plenty of space. the games room was brilliant for their quieter moments over Christmas. An absolute gem. Hide

This property is lovely and the location is perfect. We were a family of 10 and the house provides ample space for all to relax. The PlayStation is a good addition and having a tumble dryer to dry children's onesies etc was a bonus.

We enjoyed the Polar Express at Swanage railway and Nutley Farm having a light display was beautiful. We also recommend the local pub. Hide

The house was homely and welcoming with pots of flowers by the front door. It is incredibly well stocked with everything you could need, toys, books and games for the children, bath, travel cots and high chair for the baby and a well stocked kitchen. The garden was amazing with its own woodland walk, there was lots of wildlife in the garden, not toRead more mention various ornaments which the boys (5,6 and 7) enjoyed finding. All in all the house was a great find and we plan to return. Hide
