Tracy was absolutely lovely and super accommodating to us during our stay. The grounds were beautiful, the room was spacious and clean and to top it off, we were even left with a little breakfast hamper in the morning. We could not have asked for a better place to stay, we just wished we had booked it for longer.

    Quietly located in a small village away from main roads. Beautiful old country pub that has been bought into the 21 century. The bedrooms which are clean and pleasant have been formed from an old house across the courtyard from the pub. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Owner was friendly and helpful.

    The cottage is located in a tranquil little village with a great pub (Sailor's Return) and within easy reach of lovely places to visit. We visited Lulworth Cove, Weymouth, Dorchester and Swanage. We also found a great walk to take our dogs, starting at the car park on the east side of the village. To top all of this Philip is a lovely, friendly and informative host and we thank him for such an enjoyable stay.
