“We really liked the cottage.”

It was spacious, clean and had a lovely garden with an apple tree full of fruit.

Mrs Beaton September 2020

“It was a very comfortable bungalow with beautiful views.”

The issues we had were dealt with efficiently by the local staff. The narrow lanes took some getting used to but became familiar very quickly. The New Inn pub was easy to walk to and did great food.

- Mrs Beaton, September 2020
Miss Ball September 2020

“Beautiful bungalow with lovely garden.”

Garden not as secure for dogs as I would like and a determined pup could probably escape through the hedge at the back. Hoover was a nightmare to get to pick up fur on carpet. Amazing surrounding area and local pub was very welcoming. Would recommend and would return.

- Miss Ball, September 2020
Mr Kirk August 2020

“We were happy with the cleanliness of the cottage in general, however the kitchen was not well cleaned and we had to wash all utensils and crockery before it was used.”

- Mr Kirk, August 2020
Mrs Walton July 2020

“Although we have awarded a 4 for cleanliness when we came to use the hoover it smelt dreadfully of dog.”

Also the french windows were smeared with handprints. But we would recommend the bungalow and would stay there again as everything else was excellent.

- Mrs Walton, July 2020
Mr Cattlin January 2020

“Very nice house in a quiet village with a lovely garden and view.”

It was comfortable on the January days we were forced to stay in, but close to coastal walks when we could venture out.

- Mr Cattlin, January 2020
Mrs Endersby October 2019

“Thoroughly enjoyed our week at shipton hill view, the bungalow was very cosy and comfortable and very well equipped a real home from home!”

The views are incredible and our dog loved the big garden. Shipton gorge is very pretty and lots of lovely walks on the doorstep, including the hike up to Shipton hill! The local pub ' The New Inn' does a lovely Sunday roast.

- Mrs Endersby, October 2019

“We stayed for a few days in Easter during April.”

The cottage is in a lovely quite location with a friendly pub serving decent food only a five minute walk away. the general location is fantastic with Hive Beach a 5 minute drive away. Hive beach itself is very nice with again a fantastic restaurant on the beach serving superb sea food. Very close to Birdport and West Bay and centrally located for everything from Weymouth and Lulworth Cove to Corfe Castle and Lyme Regis all an easy drive away. Cottage was a good size and very clean. Views from the back over some beautiful countryside. Would certainly recommend and would stay again. Stayed April 2017

Mrs Brenda Jacobmeyer

“One of the best cottages we have rented - great location and lovely views from the lounge.”

Cottage was well equipped and blue and white nautical decoration gave a clean and fresh impression. For once an enclosed garden was really enclosed and the dog was very happy exploring outside. Despite the wet weather we enjoyed our week visiting the area and relaxing in our comfortable surroundings. We hope to come back soon. Stayed September 2017

It is cosy and comfortable and has a very welcoming feel. The large garden is a real bonus and has beautiful views over surrounding countryside.

About the location

SHIPTON GORGE

The village of Shipton Gorge has its first reference in the Domesday Book of 1086. There is no "gorge" but it is an interesting and pretty village with high banked lanes, lovely houses and a community spirit. There are a number of thatched properties as well as listed buildings, one site of special scientific interest, two small woods and a network of public footpaths and bridleways to be explored. It has an early 15th century church tower, a 13th century font and the exterior is floodlit for much of the year making it an important feature of the village both day and night.
