Sunny tranquility
We loved the welcome , friendly and helpful conversation with Paul. Our exploration in sunny weather was rewarding , and the delightful garden was a leafy, tranquil retreat. Best visit ; the Walled Garden. Worst moment; discovering it cost 14 to park the car at Lulworth Cove after the first hour! … And I loved my early morning runs exploring the paths of the Heath.

We had a lovely time on our stay in this cosy and beautifully clean property all was as described, and the milk, tea and cookies were a lovely touch. The booking in process was really easy and Paul was a good host. The garden is nicely kept and a paradise if you like birdwatching and the beautiful local surrounding area makes this a wonderful place to stay. We would definately recommend

We had walks on our doorstep and plenty of interesting places to visit including the world’s only scanners which is a site to behold.

our second visit
We stayed for a week last year and decided that two weeks would provide an opportunity to really explore the surrounding countryside and nearby coast.
We returned to this property as it is ideal for this in addition to having itself a lovely garden and environment. The host lives nearby and is extremely helpful and approachable.
I cannot recommend too highly this property if you are looking for a nice retreat away from the city. The property has everything you would need. Wool is just down the road and has a large Spa convenience shop and there are numerous pubs/restaurants around. The host will update you as to the " better ones " .

Lovely location, amazing grounds
Although compact, very clean & comfortable. Everything you could possibly need for a wonderful relaxing stay.
Beautiful gardens, lots of wildlife to keep us amused. Hedgehogs, squirrels & a wide variety of birds visit the garden at the Stables.
Paul , the host made us very welcome , he is a perfect host , very discreet , but available if you need anything .
He invited us to look around his private garden , we were really impressed , it is stunning , well cared for , also it's a magnet for a wide variety of wildlife .
The Stables is well located for visiting nearby popular attractions , Monkey world , the tank museum , the breathtaking Jurrasic coast & Weymouth are a very short drive away.
Lovely walks around the property too.
Thank you to Rob & Jones the cat for allowing us to wander around your private space .
We would be happy to visit again.

Dorset summer holiday
The stables was a lovely place to stay, the hosts where very welcoming and amiable. We had complementary tea milk and some biscuits when we arrived which was very appreciated.
The stables had everything you would need during your stay with two double bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms which was great for the two teenagers.
The location was lovely and extremely quiet and an ideal base to travel to all the main attractions and towns in Dorset. All in all a wonderful place to stay and highly recommended.

We had the best stay at the Stable. Paul was a fantastic host and made us feel at home. It was in the perfect location with so many places to visit close by. We had a lovely private garden area to sit in too which was lovely. The Stable was a nice size with a homely feel. We would definitely come and stay here again.
We had a lovely time here. The host was very welcoming and the property was very well equipped with a beautiful, peaceful garden. It was in a great location to tour around the dorset attractions.
