A lovely cottage in a beautiful tranquil village. Everything you could possibly need in a holiday home is provided, really enjoyed having the Alexas to ask questions about the weather and distance to locations. I found the people in the village very friendly. We only ate in the Kings Arms, but would advise exploring pubs further afield. Make sure yRead moreou come well stocked, as supermarkets are not on your doorstep. We really enjoyed our stay. Hide

Fantastic place we all loved staying in. My daughter loved the super cosy kids room with pink shading on the roof window so much that she have not woken up one single night as she does regularly at home and she has made her bed every morning with all decorations :-). Bedrooms and bathrooms were very comfortable and spacious, living room cosy and kRead moreitchen super well organised and equipped. The village is also incredibly quiet and beautiful. We have had an amazing long weekend there! Some great day trips with kids: Blue Pool (45 mans away), Weymouth sandy beach (20 mns), Moors Valley Park (58 ins, great on the way from or to London).
