The school house is a lovely place to stay.

The school house is a lovely place to stay. Plenty of space and room for large families or like us 2 families. The owner is very helpful and friendly. Thoughtful treats were provided which is always a bonus. The house was warm and comfortable. Ideally located for Dorchester, Weymouth and Bournemouth. Although we happened to be staying when storm Bert made an appearance it did not stop us exploring a little. We did stay in more than we would like to but we made good use of the games provided and reading material. We loved the cozy snug in the bedroom - which also had a tv.We would recommend it and would definitely stay again.
