Great cottage on a working farm, quite remote but not inaccessible, around 45 mins from most costal destinations. The enclosed courtyard garden and open grass beyond were great for our dog Bonnie. The host Lydia was great and so was the cake, wine and other goodies supplied. Would definitely recommend for a peaceful holiday.

Wonderful little holiday place in the depths of Dorset, away from any busy place and tucked nicely in a quiet farm yard. The place looked cared for and looked after. You can do a few walks from the house or about drive 20 minutes to a local town for bits. Owners were welcoming during our stay. Couldnt fault anything
