We are a family of 5 with kids ages 12, 10 and 7. The cottage and its location was just perfect. Great spot for enjoying the surrounding area and for relaxing in the beautiful and spacious garden.

I loved this cottage. Its very cozy, warm when it needed to be and everything works. What a wonderful location. Wi-Fi not a necessity. Plenty of information about access, so we brought a small car.

Heath Cottage is a rare architectural gem adjacent to beautiful Dorset heathland. If you are seeking a tranquil, warm and comfortable hideaway (and can live without super fast wifi ) then Heath Cottage is for you. Easiest to park at the front of the cottage. Studland beaches are some of the best in UK.

Lovely cottage in an outstanding location so close to beaches and Heath yet remote enough to feel peaceful and notice the silence. Great kitchen for customers who actually cook while away. Thank goodness it takes a dog.

We loved this gem of a place - such a great location with walking from the door - the garden is peaceful, the fire was fabulous and we had a super relaxing time. Nearly put off by the parking reviews - no problem you can just park in front of the hedge in front of the House if you do not wish to use the driveway - so glad we went and hope to returnRead more soon. Thank you very much, Sam, Chris and BB X Hide
