“We have stayed in this property before it became a holiday let, so we knew what to expect.”

The new bathroom is a welcome improvement, however we still feel that you have overpriced it taking into account its rather cramped nature, particularly the bedrooms. We also find Friday-Friday bookings extremely inconvenient - we assume this is to fit in with your cleaners avoiding weekends (we did find the cottage to be excellently clean and tidy).

“We wanted to take 3 bicycles with us and requested if there was room outside for them.”

Owners were okay with that, thank you. There are steps up to the kitchen but we were able to lift the bikes up and take them through to the courtyard outside. Great location to travel to various places and useful having a dishwasher and washing machine.

“A really nice and very well equipped cottage in a great location for touring around Dorset.”

“Fleur Cottage is situated in a lovely location, perfect for exploring Dorset and the surrounding areas in Dorchester.”

The cottage itself, however, was disappointing. Upon arrival the first thing we noticed was that the floor, in particular near the fireplace, had not been cleaned properly. The shelves in the food cupboards were full of crumbs and above the food cupboard and on the bunting there were an awful lot of cobwebs. The garden was a huge disappointment. The furniture and floor was filthy. It would be so easy to jet wash the patio and furniture. The double bed comprised of a duvet (the cheapest you can possibly buy) and mattress was incredibly hard. It is such a shame as this cottage has so much potential but sadly is lacking in the TLC it so desperately needs.

“The cottage is in a good location as a base for exploring Dorset.”

However, considering the landlords have been given an extra two hours for cleaning it wasn't particularly well cleaned on arrival. The bedroom is very small and cramped and we found the bathroom being on the ground floor next to the kitchen inconvenient when the bedroom is upstairs.

The property

Fleur Cottage is a homely abode sitting within the rural village of Maiden Newton in Dorset.

Offering families of four or groups of friends an escape to the countryside, there's plenty here to explore no matter the time of year.

Step into the welcoming living/dining room, where a woodburning stove sitting within the rustic inglenook invites you to settle down and enjoy your evening in the warmth.

The dining area boasts enough space to seat all of your party, where you can sit together to plan your itinerary over a tasty meal as the amply-equipped kitchen has every essential needed for a week-long stay.

Spend your evenings stargazing in your own private courtyard, the perfect end to each day before taking the stairs to the first floor to discover the two well-presented bedrooms.

The cottage is home to both a master double bedroom and a twin room with two 2'6" beds, a lovely layout for a family of four, along with feature stone walls in each bedroom to carry on the character of this quaint cottage.

Begin your day with a refreshing shower in the shower room which is located on the ground floor, before heading out to explore Maiden Newton, resting at the heart of West Dorset's 'Hardy Country'.

Here you can expect to find plenty of scenic wonders all around you to discover.

Enjoy a hearty breakfast at home, the local shop offering everything you need when you're not sampling the delicious food at the local pub, The Chalk & Cheese, or celebrating a special occasion at the fine dining restaurant of Le Petit Canard.

Hop on the train or take a scenic drive to the bustling town of Dorchester, with plenty of gardens to roam for a leisurely day out.

There are plenty of restaurants and cafes, cinemas and enticing museums such as the Dorset County Museum, The Dinosaur Museum and the Terracotta Warrior Museum, just to name a few, there's something here for everyone.

Enjoy a family-fun day at Weymouth, being sure to indulge in some fish and chips for that true seaside experience, as you bask on the beach or travel further afield to the equally attractive coastal resort town of Bournemouth, home to an Oceanarium, pretty promenade, the Russell Cotes Art Gallery & Museum and so much more.

Fleur Cottage is perfectly positioned for exploring the best of Dorset and beyond.
