“The house is lovely, and the garden, especially, is beautiful.”
The house is tastefully appointed , and the garden (which is an acre in size?) was full of flowers, in bloom even in late September. During Covid season, we did not wish to visit anything indoors. There are 3 gardens nearby which are superb: Kingston Lacey, Mapperton and Abbotsbury. We enjoyed the many beaches nearby, and at Hive Beach Cafe, we could eat in a big tent. The food was very fresh, and it was not exactly indoors. We would have followed the Jurassic Coast walk but did not have time. We would have loved to see Durdle Door, but that was a bit too far.
There were only two in our party, so we used one of the bedrooms (and one of the bathrooms) only. The lounge is spacious, and would have been fine for a party of four. We had sole use of the big patio, which lead to the rest of the garden. It was peaceful and secluded, and we had a talk with the gardener.
