Lovely cottage with everything you could wish for - comfy beds, cool lounge (it was in excess of 30 degrees during our stay) so that was welcome. Garden enabled us to relax with a drink and look over the meadow. Would definitely recommend and would happily stay there again.

Comfortable, cosy and very nicely presented. The beds were the most comfortable we've had in a holiday home. The cottage was a good walking distance from the village centre and the host was very helpful and friendly. The cottage was ideal for the 3 of us and our dog.

Lovely stay in Dorset

The cottage was comfortable and cosy, finished to a high standard with lovely decor. Great location on the edge of the town with good walks from the cottage. Also close to the coast and some fantastic costal walks. Proximity to a great restaurant (the Ollerod) was also a bonus.

Lovely comfortable spacious cottage in a great location for making the most of the many local walks in the wonderful Dorset countryside. Good accessibility to the local beaches and other attractions in the area with the delightful Beaminster town centre only a short walk away from the cottage. The pretty garden was an unexpected bonus and perfect for relaxing in at the end of the day. We really enjoyed our stay and are keen to come back !

A very well equipped and lovely cottage in a nice area of Dorset. Had all we needed for a relaxing stay after being at Camp Bestival. We found the cottage deceptively spacious with the handy snug for parents while the kids watched tv in the kitchen diner.A lovely outlook over the fields from the garden.The cottage was clean and modern, we will definitely be thinking of using it again when we visit Dorset.

Amazing experience

We loved everything about the property. Perfect for our family of 3 (and our dog). The property was clean and centrally located. Loved nice little touches through out the property that made it more cosy. The welcome pack of bread, cookies, tea and milk was a huge relief (and much welcomed) after a long drive. Overall, very memorable holiday and a great place to stay. Highly recommend.
