“Just that the lighting in the cottage wasn't very bright for reading & close work.”

My sight is ok but I felt I was straining my eyes.

“Relaxing Retreat.”

Loved it, peaceful even by a main road, Beautiful gardens. Everything close. Owners live next door they let you have your own private space always say Hello when they see you. Would Return. Thank you for a beautiful rest.

“A delightful cottage with charm and character but a modern touch.”

A lounge included sky lights and modern wood burning stove, is light and cosy. The bathroom includes a large corner bath with instant access to hot water. The cottage sits to the side of The Vicarage and owners allow access to an enormous well established garden which leads to a small stream. Absolutely delightful watching both rabbits and squirrels in the evening sunshine. Stayed July 2018

“A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location.”

The gift of a bottle wine and a carton milk on arrival was much appreciated, which all contributed to a wonderful chilled out week walking into Weymouth through Radipole nature reserve and visiting a lovely part of Dorset. We will certainly consider returning next year - stayed August 2016.

“The property was very clean and in a ideal location”

Mrs Sonya Offord

“Oh joy, miles from anywhere, bit of a shock, but was it worth it, yes, yes, yes the small but perfect cottage with a beautiful garden and grounds to walk about in was perfect.”

We saw deer,rabbits squirrels,cranes,in fact all the brochure said we saw, it was fantastic. The extras that the owners provided was a lovely extra,milk and a lovely bottle of wine, just the job for a nice cup of tea or a refreshing glass after a long drive.Would definitely recommend the cottage for anyone, but be prepared for a walk to town. Having said that it did make a refreshing change to walk and not rely on the car just for once,if your drinking. Met the owners on our last day, very pleasant and obliging.If your wanting a beautiful setting,quiet etc., then l would thoroughly recommend this cottage.

The lovely Wey Valley Walks pass right by the back gate at the old stone bridge across the trout river, and Radipole Lake RSPB bird sanctuary is a few minutes away.

In the village, the pretty medieval church is well worth a visit, nestled in a dip next to the manor house.
