Forget-me-not is a very cozy accommodation and is ideally located for exploring the most beautiful places in Dorset. There is a pub just around the corner and a farm shop a few minutes' walk away. Amanda also takes great care of her guests. Forget-me-not can be recommended to anyone looking for a relaxing break.
