Reviewer Type: Extended Group
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Excellent location for exploring central Dorset. Beautiful peaceful garden setting. The hosts gave us a warm welcome and were on hand to recommend local activities even though they had provided a comprehensive manual on the property and the area. The cottage was restored with tasteful decor, quality fittings and a high level of attention to detail. We loved our stay here and would happily return.
Summary: Lovely, lovely, lovely
