- Mr Cowen, October 2020
Mrs Salmon September 2020

“Little acre was a lovely little retreat to return to after each day out exploring the Dorset coast.”

The accommodation was spotless, well equipped and furnished to a lovely standard with lovely views of the garden. Whilst in a peaceful location which was what we had wanted , local amenities and the train station in the village offered everything to make our holiday perfect. We look forward to another holiday in Little Acre next year.

Mrs Ireland July 2020

“We received a very warm welcome from Lyn, the owner.”

There was s lovely welcome pack waiting for us. The accommodation itself was perfect. Absolutely spotlessly clean and with all we needed for our holiday. A real ‘ home from home’. The patio was used most evenings after exploring the surrounding areas. Little Acres is an ideal base to get around Dorset. We used car, bicycles and train ( station just 5 minutes away). Very comfortable bed and lovely quiet location. We booked this at fairly short notice due To cancelling our overseas holiday during Covid19 - but we will definitely be returning. Five stars ⭐️ all round.

The cottage is compact but provides plenty of high quality room for two people. It is spotlessly clean, well equipped, has a comfortable bed and a sitting room with access to a splendid garden. The owner is very helpful and the location is great with easy access to all the attractions in Purbeck and beyond. Good parking space, too. Recommended - stayed July 2017

Mr Scott

“Over the past few years we have stayed at quite a few cottages up and down the country.”

Quite a few shockers may I add... This place was by far the best. Great accommodation, Great owner, perfect quiet location. Cannot fault it. One day we even stuck some washing out as we looked at the BBC weather forecast (fatal - guaranteed to be wrong). Came home to a line full dripping wet through. Next thing. Owner knocking at the door with some dry stuff. What more can you say. Even though it's a right hike to get there. We would return. Stayed May 2018
