The owners have really made an effort to make the cottage as cosy and welcoming as possible. They are on site and available without being intrusive. Everything was quality and tasteful - excellent night's sleep. We were snug even in a cold, wet March (lots of details like warm throws) without using the wood burning stove; it would have been very toasty warm if we had. Gardens are beautifully kept with flowers, trees and wildlife to admire from the kitchen window. Thoughtful touches like bread, milk and butter when we arrived.

    The location was perfect for us, the accommodation was very comfortable, and spacious for 2 people. The kitchen was well appointed with all that we needed for a 3 night stay. The host introduced himself when we arrived and gave us a homemade (by his wife) Dorset apple cake. The hostess said goodbye to us when we left.

    Although we arrived quite late, the kitchen could accommodate for our meals, freshly cooked, local produce. The staff was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. They are proud to offer drinks from local breweries and could inform us on the local area. The parking area behind the hotel is spacious and safe.
