“Great hosts, lovely clean, accommodation with so much attention to detail and personal touches.”

- Mrs Bradford, August 2021
Mrs Haughney August 2021

“Lovely quirky cottage located in a excellent location for exploring Dorset, we had a lovely welcome by Karen and Kevin who were very helpful and the welcome hamper is a lovely personnel touch.”

It was equipped well for the weeks stay, only feedback is the location of the shower for privacy.

Mrs Davies September 2019

“A little home away from home.”

It is so cute, cozy and really really cool. The layout and decoration is perfect, felt like a boutique hotel suite. The location is great, it's close to Christchurch and easy access to New Forest, really nice pubs with great food close too. The welcome baskets for us and the dog were such a nice touch and really tasty. Were made to feel very welcome and at home. Would highly recommend and will be going back.

- Mrs Davies, September 2019
Mr Dix September 2019

“A very comfortable cosy lodge situated in ideal location for both forest and coast.”

The owners were very friendly with information of places of interest to visit.

- Mr Dix, September 2019
Mrs Lovatt August 2019

“Great little cottage with sunny garden.”

Better than we expected. Lots of lovely touches. Real home from home. Would prefer a washing machine to dishwasher (Seems a bit OTT for 3 holidaying people). Owners very helpful and friendly. Our son had his own personal disco in the shower! A real luxury. Thanks

- Mrs Lovatt, August 2019
Mr Ward August 2019

“A very nice lodge,well set out,all the mod cons.”

Close to town centre and the beach and harbour a few decent pubs in walking distance,with good food and atmosphere. Would most definitely stay here again,4/5 *

- Mr Ward, August 2019
Mrs Head July 2019

“The location and amenities were not advertised correctly- although the property inside was lovely, there was absolutely no privacy to the owners and we had to spend any time inside with the curtains closed, on an extremely busy road with constant loud road noise, advertised as walking 5 minute distance to 5 pubs, only 1 pub and that was a 15 minute walk.”

Very disappointing location which should have been advertised correctly.

- Mrs Head, July 2019

There is one small window 15 metres away but we have taken your comment on board and added further reed screening. The closest pub closed the week before you arrived but there are 3 others ( noted in the welcome pack ) within easy walking distance. The property has sealed window glazing but while it has been hot and windows are open there will be some road noise mostly at peak times. This has not been helped by major roadworks into Bournemouth creating, temporarily extra traffic on our road. Property Owner
Mrs Diprose May 2019

“Cute and comfy and beautiful place to stay.”

Owners are lovely and extremely helpful and eager for us to have a great holiday. Not only a welcome hamper for us but one for our doggie too. Many, many thanks to Karen, Kevin, Molly and Alfie.

- Mrs Diprose, May 2019
Mr Fisher March 2019

“Ideal for two people, would be crowded with 3.”

Great shower

- Mr Fisher, March 2019
Mrs Martin December 2018

“The cottage was spotlessly clean, all the utensils and kitchen equipment were new and easy to use.”

I have never been to such a generously equipped cottage, towels, toilet rolls, coffee, sugar, tea, cleaning products all in abundance. The owners are incredibly welcoming and nothing is too much trouble, which I always find leads to a more relaxed holiday. The location was wonderful for us, a choice of great walks on the doorstep and a choice of great places to visit short car rides away. We will definitely be returning.

- Mrs Martin, December 2018
Mrs Penfold August 2018

“This little cottage is in a good location,lovely,spotlessly clean lots of accessories to make it feel homely even a bed for the dog, who enjoyed the little gaden.”

The owners were very nice friendly & helpful lots of local information including the local vet.We would like to go back again.

- Mrs Penfold, August 2018
Mrs Pooley August 2018

“This is a lovely little cottage,made up beautiful with all the accessories and bits and bobs.”

Great little garden for the dog and the location was great for us.

- Mrs Pooley, August 2018
Mrs Barrow August 2018

“The little cottage was lovely - however, it is completely over looked by the owners at all times as its actually in their garden so really not very private.”

We are grown ups - it felt abit like being on holiday with your parents.

- Mrs Barrow, August 2018

The properties sit side by side 15 metres apart. We only started two weeks ago and decided on a trellis, for plants to grow, rather than a boring fence between them and have since put up a screen. All guests have complete privacy and are only ‘over looked’ by a kitchen window and can have as much peace and quiet as they wish. We have a 10 year old and that is the full extent of our parenting LOL Property Owner

About the location

BURTON, DORSET

Christchurch 1.4 miles.

The village of Burton which boasts two excellent pubs are just a five minute walk away. If you enjoy walking then discover the beautiful River Avon; this stretch is called the “The Royalty” and boasts top class fishing, or just enjoy the scenery and watch the swans gilding up and down. A day at the beach can commence at Hengistbury Head which opens onto 7 miles of golden sands leading right down to the glamorous Sandbanks. Bournemouth is a fifteen minute drive, or check out historic Christchurch and its famous priory. No trip would be complete unless you have strolled down to the pretty quayside, where you can enjoy refreshments whilst watching the ever changing boating scene, or you may wish to take one of the regular boat trips along the peaceful River Stour. Take your buckets and spades to one of the gorgeous sandy beaches nearby, and enjoy a ferry trip across the mouth of the harbour from Mudeford Quay to the sandbank with its colourful array of little beach huts. Should you tire of all the local attractions you’ll find plenty to do in the nearby family-friendly resort of Bournemouth, or venture into the New Forest National Park, both worth a visit.
