We really liked the peace and tranquility of the cottage, the views, the fabulously comfy bed and the donkeys! The owner was really helpful and welcoming. It was great to have easy access to a public footpath straight from the end of the garden.
The cottage was set in a quiet location but it was easy to travel to any popular tourist destination.
The cottage is immaculate and well equipped with everything you would need. The patio doors open up to a gorgeous view of the countryside and the swimming pond. When we arrived we were greeted by Mrs Allen who gave us a brief tour and was more than happy to answer any questions. An easy drive to local ammenities and Other tourist destinations such as Monkey world, Poole etc, I'd definitely stay again!
The brochures do not do this cottage justice, it is a lot more spacious than it looks and is immaculate inside and out. It has breathtaking views and the owner is very pleasent and helpfull. An extremely enjoyable stay. Paul & Gill M
