We had a great few days away, cottage clean and comfortable, good location (less than an hour to Longleat and 30 mins to lurworth cove, Dursley Dore and Corfe Castle). So relaxing having a coffee and reading in the summer house in the mornings/evenings. Thank you to Lou.

I was visiting my son for a week and the bungalow was a home from home. Beautifullly clean, spacious and had everything I needed. Nice views from the bungalow and only about four minutes from the centre of Blandford Forum by car. I had several interesting days out.
