This is a compact quiet cottage with a secure small rear garden. There is sufficient off road car parking. One needs to drive to find a place to walk the dog. Location wise it is ideally suited to exploring the south Dorset coastline. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend, without hesitation.

Lovely property, very well equipped with some thoughtful touches. Very comfy beds and lovely garden overlooking fields. Downside for us was that there was nowhere to walk the dog from the property. I appreciate there are lots of places to drive to with excellent walks but sometimes you don't want to get the car out again. Overall though a lovely coRead morettage and a delightful few days. Hide
