The cottage is really beautifully-furnished and equipped and I have never seen such wonderful flowers and plants in a garden. Our two dogs felt immediately at home although they would no doubt have liked to have a bit of lawn to run about on. We loved the house and would come again any time. Our hosts were very helpful and welcoming, even when the Read moredoor key disappeared after my handbag was stolen in Christchurch! The cottage is of course "in the sticks" but not so far from many places to visit. Hide

We had a lovely holiday in Gordons Gate, the apartment is very well equipped and the garden is designed with great attention to detail. Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The place offers a good starting point for visiting Dorset. We can only recommend this cottage. The long journey was really worth it.
