“Holiday break in Cerne Abbas”

A warm and welcoming holiday cottage. Well equipped and comfortable and well placed for visiting Cerne Abbas and the local area.
Mrs Goodwin November 2019

“Little Thatch was a extremely comfortable cosy cottage with all one needed.”

I would not hesitate to return and hope to do so. A great location with many places to visit. In a lovely village with 3 pubs, plenty of walks and a cafe.
Mr Hargreaves September 2019

“Lovely location.”

Just a few minutes walk from 2 pubs (soon to be three), a tea room and a well stocked village store. Cottage has been sympathetically renovated and extended and has all mod cons but retains its charm. Parking is very convenient on road just outside cottage but road is not busy. Very nice touches such as some milk, tea and coffee, fudge and even a bedside torch ! This was our first holiday cottage rental and the standard has been set very high indeed (and I'm a fussy old git !).
Mr Mcentee September 2019

“The cottage was fabulous, spotlessly clean and had everything you could possibly wish for I am amazed the owners were able to think of so many things!”
Mr Allen August 2019

“Good location in a lovely picturesque village.”
Mrs Woolacott-scarr August 2019

“Lovely cottage in a fabulous location.”

Looks better in person than in the photos, minutes walk from a couple of great pubs and a village shop selling tasty local produce. We had a great time.
Mrs Kitchen June 2019

“We have stayed in little thatch for the last 4 years.”

We look forward to going because we know the standard is high and we just relax the moment we step through the door.
Mr Clayton June 2019

“Excellent cottage, clean, well appointed in a lovely location.”
Mrs Coleman May 2019

“We absolutely loved Little Thatch.”

After a journey of more than 30 hours from Australia we arrived at a beautiful cottage in a lovely village in the heart of Dorset and it was worth all the hours of research that went into choosing something really special but authentically old English. Sophie, who lives nearby, is friendly, very helpful yet unobtrusive and had left us very welcome staples and rather special treats. She had emailed me comprehensive information and directions so our arrival was smooth and easy. The location is perfect being within the village and easy walking distance to the great pubs and shop and yet surrounded by beautiful walks in the countryside. There is a wealth of travel guides, maps and literature available. The cottage is extremely well equipped, especially the delightful kitchen and everything is very clean and fresh. With roses and wisteria climbing over the front of the cottage under the overhanging thatch and clematis along the wall in the cosy back garden, Little Thatch must surely be the quintessential English cottage. We are looking forward to returning as there are endless delights in the surrounding area.
Mr White April 2019

“The cottage is in a lovely location.”

It has excellent facilities and so well equipped. It was such a pleasant stay and we hope to get back again soon
Miss Long March 2019

“Little Thatch was a perfect cottage.”

There were many extra touches like coffee, tea , bubble bath and dishwasher and laundry products available. Cerne Abbas has a very good village shop and three pubs, what more could you want! The cottage was super clean and does not allow pets so there were no nasty smells, stains or pet hair on the furniture or bedding that we have experienced in other cottages.
Mr Lee February 2019

“The cottage is brilliant.”

.everything you need is in the lovely house. The village is really nice and peaceful..people very friendly. Two good pubs with good selection of food. Would recommend this house good location for exploring the area.

Mrs Walsh November 2018

“We loved this little cottage, and the village of Cerne Abbas.”

A central spot for exploring Dorset, and all the local offerings. The cottage was very well fitted out, and a real bonus was having both a bathroom and a shower room. Would recommend Little Thatch to everyone, and the bonus of an excellent village shop can't be underestimated!
mrbuttell November 2018

“All you need in a charming cottage”

Comfortable, quiet, charming cottage. All mod cons, wonderfully comfortable bed in the master and efficient heating. Sophie the owner had left staples such as milk, tea and coffee etc. with treats such as posh bisciuts! A nice touch were the orchid plants in the lounge and upstairs bathroom. Cerne Abbas is a beautiful village with pubs, a well stocked shop and a great tearoom, the village is also an excellent base for touring beautiful Dorset. Would return in a heartbeat!

“Wonderful”

Can’t really fault the place or the owners. Beautiful village, beautiful house, beautiful county. That’s it.
Anthony D September 2018

“Lovely, comfortable and well-appointed cottage”

Beautiful Thatched cottage in a very friendly picturesque Dorset village. Very cosy traditional cottage but with all modern mod cons. We had a really enjoyable stay and thought Cerne Abbas a wonderfully friendly village with 3 good pubs, an excellent community shop and a lovely tea room/café. would happily holiday here again.
Mrs Brown August 2018

“We really enjoyed our week in Little Thatch in Cerne Abbas, Dorset in August.”

The cottage facilities exceeded all our expectations. It was beautifully restored and all facilities were of a very high standard - from bedding & comfortable beds to thick towels, and quality kitchen equipment. The hosts were welcoming and there was the added bonus of having the village round the corner with friendly shopkeepers and welcoming pubs (in two of which we sampled delicious food). We would not hesitate to stay in this cottage again.
Ms Barnett August 2018

“Lovely cottage but very expensive.”
Mr Pomeroy August 2018

“The cottage was perfect.”

Everything one could want was to hand . Little touches , milk,tea,coffee,hot chocolate, biscuits all available on arrival. Our grandson loved it.
Mrs Kitchen June 2018

“This was our third visit to this cottage, it is still the cleanest and most well equipped we have visited over the last 40 years.”

It is an advantage to have the housekeeper nearby in case of any problems. Another lovely holiday.
Mrs Harris June 2018

“Fantastic cottage we would stay there again Sophie was most helpful.”

“Five star self catering”

We were not disappointed with our third trip to little thatch in Cerne abbas and we were delighted with the welcome extras that were provided. Thanks you we had a wonderful time despite the weather. The cottage is in an ideal position to take beautiful walks before breakfast.
Mrs Rotchell April 2018

“Cottage was beautiful.”

Felt comfortable as soon as we walked through the door. Have stayed in a lot of cottages but this has to be one of the best. Easy access to a lot of different places. If we ever come back to Dorset I would definitely book Little Thatch again

“Beautiful Cottage in a pretty village”

Little Thatch is a grade 2 listed thatched cottage in the village of Cerne Abbas in Dorset. The cottage is very well equipped and an excellent base for exploring West Dorset and beyond. It is kept very clean and the owners have kept it upgraded for their guests. There is a good village shop for essentials and 3 pubs, we tried The New Inn which had a good range of beers, wines and sprits and friendly proprietors. A great place for a relaxing break.
Chris K December 2017

“Holidaying in beautiful thatched cottage.”

Upon opening the front door you are immediately in awe of the beautiful interior. State of the art utitliy and kitchen area. Cosy lounge with central heating throughout. There's a choice of bath etc (upstairs) and a shower room etc (downstairs). The cottage is only a few hundred yards from Cerne Abbas village which has a lovely cafe, general store/Post Office, craft/souvenir shop and 3 amazing pubs/restaurants. Excellent location for sightseeing Dorset (Weymouth, Poole etc.,). Highly recommended.

“Lovely little cottage”

Little thatch is a lovely cottage situated in a fantastic little village. The cottage was perfect for our family of 3 - with all the facilities and space for us and our baby that we needed. Cerne Abbas provided us with a great base for our holiday and we visited the 3 local pubs, local shop and park. We travelled easily to the coast and also enjoyed some fabulous walks around the area.

“Charming, cosy, home-from-home with everything you could possibly need.”

This beautiful cottage is a perfect base for discovering Dorset either walking the countryside or driving to the stunning villages and beaches. Everything you could possibly need on your holiday is here, including a lovely welcoming gift. The owners have thoughtfully equipped the cottage from the modern kitchen with dishwasher, the comfortable beds, the cosy lounge and the 2 lovely bathrooms to the lovely garden with sun loungers. Perfectly situated at the edge of Cerne Abbas, with 3 lovely pubs in the village, a lovely coffee shop (serving delicious breakfasts) and a beautiful church. A wonderful place in a wonderful part of the country.

“Perfection in Dorset”

Exquisitely presented thatch cottage in one of the most picturesque villages in Dorset . Tiny and sunny terraced garden and parking right outside the cottage . Roses growing around the windows and so well appointed for a short or long stay . Nothing could be better for a Quintessential English holiday cottage in a charming village with country walks in beautiful unspoilt countryside . Highly recommended for couples especially .

About the location

CERNE ABBAS

Dorchester 8 miles; Sherborne 12 miles; Yeovil 16 miles; Weymouth 17 miles.

Cerne Abbas is a quintessential, picturesque village in Dorset, and oozing charm and character, it was once voted as Britain's most desirable village! Dating back to Medieval times, the remains of the Benedictine Abbey, around which the village grew, can still be seen today. Today, it's well known for the Cerne Giant, the 180-foot figure of a naked man cut into the steep chalk downlands, which dominates the surrounding landscape. Local facilities abound, including three pubs and a tea room, plus the surrounding countryside is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which offers superb views and great walks. A short drive takes you to Dorchester, Sherborne and the Dorset Jurassic Coast. A truly fascinating area close to many places of interest at any time of the year.

Note: Babes-in-arms and children over 5 only.
