Ivy Cottage

Beautiful cottage, fabulous spot 5 minutes walk to the cove.

Parking was a bit tight but manageable. Spotlessly clean. The cottage has everything you need to self cater if you choose to. The only downside for us was the mattress in the main bedroom it was really uncomfortable. However this has been mentioned previously in other reviews we took it with a pinch of salt. By the end of the week both my husband and I were having aches and pains. The gunfire on Tuesday and Thursday evenings was also a bit of a surprise from the local Army base. But not really an issue. We had a fabulous holiday and would definitely come back and stay again.

Lovely cottage.

No complaints at all. The parking can be a bit tight but is fine. And right next to a good pub. And, at this time of year, lots of wild garlic growing around which we used for cooking. Excellent.

Great cottage and this was our 3rd visit.

We were disappointed the log fire had been removed without notification and it still shows in the pictures.

This is our 4th stay at this gorgeous cottage and probably booking it soon for next year.

It’s always lovely to be at Ivy Cottage feels like home but was a bit disappointed the log burner was out of action (we were told about this 2 weeks before our stay) as this is one of the features we love about the cottage as we do not have one at home. As mentioned before the King Size mattress is very uncomfortable now as is the large settee. Always lovely and clean. See you next year Ivy Cottage

The cottage is beautiful; very generous room sizes, incl garden, authentic beams, doors, fireplaces (not working) & furnishings, easy parking for kia Niro ext to a VW.

Superb bathrooms incl speedy hot water. Central heating very effective & swift. 2 pints of milk & prosecco in the fridge plus new fairy liquid,dsh cloth & tea towels all gratefully received as I'd forgotten to bring. Didnt use the washing machine. Sadly no wood burner as advertised; need to alter description to reflect this. Slippery sofas

Good location.

Comfortable cottage. A very enjoyable stay and already planning to return next year.

A magical stay in a charming and inviting cottage.

Fantastic location. The cottage felt warm and homely, proving a fantastic space for our family to enjoy time together. The cottage was spotless, kept to a very high standard. The kitchen was well equipped, especially with a chilled bottle of prosecco in the fridge which we enjoyed in the garden whilst listening to the live music from the pub next door - great touch, thank you! As we had the two cars there was some concerns over leaving one of our cars in the main Lulworth Cove car park overnight, however as we ate and drank in the pub next door each night, they allowed us to leave the car in their car park overnight which was very handy. The allocated parking space at the cottage was not as tight as many of the online reviews suggested. As long as you are a careful driver and can reverse park comfortably I see no issues with the space, even when there was a second car next to ours from Little Ivy. Upon leaving the cottage we left behind two soft toys unbeknown to us. Sam the House Manager quickly informed us and has kindly popped them in the post to us which is very sweet of her - thank you Sam! Overall we had a great time and would not hesitate to book another weekend break away here again.

Highly recommended!

Ivy Cottage is one of the best we've stayed in. Great location, character, large in size, comfortable, well equiped and good attention to detail. The nearby pub was excellent. There's plenty of room for six people here ( we easily found parking for our second car nearby )

Beautiful home, well appointed, perfect for our family; ample space to enable grandchildren to chill and relax.

Short walking distance to Lulworth Cove. Fabulous pub next door offering an excellent menu.

5 Star.

We hebben het zeer goed gehad.

Alle faciliteiten aanwezig Een mooie afgesloten tuin ,wat fijn is met kleine kinderen. Alles was perfect geregeld

Property exceeded expectations.

Family had a wonderful stay. Best cottage we’ve stayed in. Absolutely pristine and cleaned to high spec. Very thoughtful details within the kitchen providing milk, dishwashing and washing machine tablets. Coffee tea etc if we had forgotten to bring our own. Very spacious and good WiFi essential with teenagers. Enclosed garden for dogs excellent. Would highly recommend and definitely go back with family next year.

Lovely cottage.

High standard of cleanliness. Well equipped kitchen. Photos need updating on website.. Better than photos show. Modern bathrooms. Very spacious. One king (lovely) and one double (would be better as a king too). There is another property at the back of the garden with gate access that is not referred to (not accessed at time of our visit). Difficult to read in the lounge as lighting is rather dim. Need to be a good driver to reverse into parking space as is made clear. Great holiday.

Fantastic cottage.

Everything we needed and a lovely Christmas tree too which made it special. The lounge was spacious and comfortable and a very nice dining room which we used for Christmas dinner. Nice to be able to eat in the kitchen at the table for breakfast. Great enclosed garden as we have a small dog. The driveway goes out onto a slight bend so you need to be careful when walking or driving out but in the winter the traffic is generally slow and was very light. Great walks around and only a short walk to the cove. Next door to a super pub, no noise, amazing food and very helpful staff.

The only comment I can make is the large settee in the lounge was quite uncomfortable,but everything else was 5 star

Wonderful cottage.

Lulworth and Dorset is so beautiful. We had a wonderful week with our labradoodle. Would recommend. Parking my evoque was fine and all you need to do is back out slowly..... Pubs are fab, food yum and scenery to die for! Housekeeping need to leave bin bags as non for rubbish and wheelie but hey didnt distract from holiday! Thank you!

Another wonderful stay at Ivy Cottage, a perfect clean and comfortable cottage which caters for all ages, close to local amenities as well as a short walk to the outstanding Lulworth Cove.

Recent updates include upgraded bathrooms. Only minor would be to update the kitchen equipment, an air fryer would be a huge bonus to the kitchen & would reduce the use of the electric oven. But otherwise would highly recommend, just be aware the driveway is narrow and needs to be manoeuvred with care, luckily I don’t park the car!

The garden was particularly nice with lots in flower.

A lovely cottage.

Well positioned and comfortable., warm and friendly. Excellent, large settees. Bathrooms/ showers are efficient, clean and fresh. Sunny well maintained garden. Sam is very helpful and efficient- text contact excellent. Have stayed in the cottage for the past five years and love it. Highly recommended for that special family break . Only slightly negative point is that the kitchen is a bit dated but still charming. We will hopefully be back next year. Thank you

Parking was a little tricky initially as I had to wiggle into a space nearest the cottage.

If both cars were large it could be problematic to some people. Not sure if there is much that you are able to do apart from lengthen the spaces by about 2 foot into the garden apart from pre warning them (apologies if I did miss this in the property description) . It was however great to at least be able to park outside the door. Great little property and great location .

Absolutely fantastic Christmas break.

The Christmas tree was a surprise and looked lovely. Very cosy, everything we needed. Great enclosed garden for the dog to run around, even sat out in the garden one afternoon. A short walk to the cove and next door to a very friendly pub with good food.

Ivy cottage is a beautiful period cottage with everything you need for a relaxing home from home holiday or break, very warm and welcoming.

The photographs don’t do it justice at all and is much bigger than anticipated. Great location for exploring wether by car or on foot which was perfect for us and our dog with the added bonus of a pub on the doorstep. Would highly recommend without hesitation !

Our second stay here.

We like the cottage a lot - it's well located and comfortable. Parking is limited, but this is covered in the listing and we've had no problem parking a large SUV - but it does depend on how big a car the reisdents of next door Little Ivy have. Cleanliness was good, but as it's dog friendly (and we had dogs), don't expect a pristine finish! Maintenance seems OK, but no plug for the basin in the en-suite was a pretty basic oversight.

Lovely cottage, we had milk, coffee, tea, sugar and a bottle of prosecco , thank you.

So comfortable. Lovely bathrooms and bedrooms and a lovely garden. The car parking space is very tight, but we have a small car so it was ok :-)

The property is spacious.

Plenty of facilities gas cooker fridge/freezer. Clean, good sized table. Comfortable sofas and chairs in the lounge area. The property has WiFi,TV, ALEXA Also garden area with tables and chairs. The only drawback is the property is situated on a bend, making access into and out bit tricky.

Need I say more than this was out third year at Ivy cottage and we have already booked again for next year

Sorry we did not have a good stay.

We arrived in the evening and were meet with a really bad smell of humidity and mildew/mould. We were very uncomfortable there for our stay and spent all our time away from the cottage. The house (except bathrooms) is very dated and dark - not a nice place at all to stay. Also you forgot to mention the graveyard in the backyard. We tried to contact you on the email provided in the welcome book but it bounced back and does not work. We also texted the two numbers but never received a reply. Could not recommend this cottage at all!

Lovely stay, everything was there that was needed.

Only downside was the main bathroom shower head needed a hook on the wall as water went everywhere when in use. Great secure garden for the dogs. Would recommend.

Property was as advertised and met our every need.

Would definitely recommend.

We used to own the old Bakery opposite Ivy cottage, so this was a nostalgic trip for my husband’s 60th !

! We were not disappointed , Ivy cottage was very comfortable, with welcome treats left and superb facilities… the location was perfect and the weather excellent for lovely long walks , we didn’t want to leave !! We’ll be back again soon for sure … thank you Denise F

What a gem of a cottage, like a tardis inside, we had 6 guests & 2 little dogs & there was so much room.

Beautiful log fire, made extra special with a Xmas tree

Overall the cottage is in a pleasant location ( but parking tricky for large SUV ) .

The facilities were generally good but please note the following At least two spare bath and hand towels should be provided ! I do not want to spend my time washing on holiday . Kitchen overall well equipped but only providing one dishwasher tablet and one laundry washing tablet is taking penny pinching too far ! . We had to purchase these items as the party included two children under age of 5 and four adults . No stair gate was available . It may not be easy to fit one but perhaps you should highlight this in your literature The furniture is looking very tired , smelt of dogs and my husband who is allergic to animal hair had to take anti histamines . I had not appreciated it was a dog friendly let but even so good cleaning should remove dog hairs I just felt it was all a bit grubby ! Sorry The en-suite shower needs ripping out ! The tiles are covered in black mould which quite frankly is unpleasant . Fortunately on the plus side there was always plenty of hot water . Beds were comfortable and sheets clean - although the king sheet had a rip in it . Also duvet too hot for mild weather - think there needs to be some alternative lighter bedding available. Overall Ivy cottage is in a good location but I think the interior ( bathrooms and sitting room in particular ) need updating . The rental cost is not cheap and I was disappointed to find the property had the above issues .

Anyone thinking of renting this cottage should be aware that Ivy Cottage is semi detached to Little Ivy Cottage which is also a rental property.

It wasn't made clear when booking that the adjacent cottage was also a rental cottage. It was pointed out that the drive way was narrow. You need to be clear that the parking for Ivy Cottage needs to be reversed into, you will need someone to get out of vehicle to stop traffic and direct you in as position of space is dog legged round a low retaining wall. Garden furniture in a previous review I read said tired. Yes, I can confirm it was tired and only consisted of a pub style bench and two very tired chairs. Also as a dog friendly cottage you cannot open door to let your dog out into the garden you need to escort your pet into the enclosed part of the garden and the shared entrance means that your dog will/could come into contact with the other occupiers renting the Little Ivy cottage's dog which may be aggressive and bark constantly which was the case for us. The lounge overlooks onto a grave yard but given the low windows and height of graveyard literally tombstones are level with window. The cottage had a dehumidifier and this needed to be emptied on a daily basis. This wasn't mentioned. There was no grill handle that we could find. In a previous review a read the bath leaked, this was still the case. I filled a bath and washed my face in the sink and when I turned to get into the bath it was half full. The shower pipe in the en-suite disconnected from the shower box so my husband fixed it. We flushed the toilet in the en-suite and the water didn't stop running because the flush button had broken and had been glued. We could still flush toilet but had to leave the button off. In the main bathroom the plug was pushed down and couldn't be released as this had also corroded. Lulworth is a beautiful place and the cottage has potential but is was very dated and tired. A gardener turned up on a rainy day and took up both parking spaces. he said he would be there for two hours. The occupants next door had gone out for the day so his arrival meant that their dog was barking consistently. Given that you ask occupants to leave at 10am and do not let the next occupants enter until 5pm maybe they should arrange for the gardener to attend on that day? The washing machine was located in an adjacent out building located below our bedroom window. The washing machine is shared with the other cottage. The other holiday cottage occupants put washing on at night so a couple of nights all we could hear was the washer/dryer going round as it was hot and we had windows open. To be completely honest the cost of the holiday being over £2000 for 6 days did not equate to the quality of the cottage. We had a welcome pack of biscuits, small milk and a bottle of prosecco which I left behind. There was some fairy liquid and hand soap which was something. I love Lulworth and Durdle Door but we will probably book into the boutique hotel next time which includes breakfast, worked out more reasonable and had better parking and a bit more luxury. There is also only one TV located in the lounge. None in any of the three bedrooms.

Ivy Cottage was very spacious and comfortable.

The owners have taken great care with the quality of furniture and fittings which was greatly appreciated. Everything worked and as regular annual cottage renters this was by far the best we have ever had. The small garden was fine and we watered the newly planted bedding plants. Reversing the car in off the road takes courage, but we managed it. Please pass on our gratitude to the owners for all the care and trouble they have obviously taken to make this cottage so appealing in every room. A great stay and a great place.

The cottage was comfortable and provided good facilities.

however the cd player was a mystery to me with no clear instructions. The garden furniture needs replacing. They provide no comfort and one chair is broken. the clothes airer is is broken and not fit for use.

The cottage was fabulous.

It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. I appreciated the attention to detail of providing milk, tea, coffee, sugar and if you brought a dog with you they had a bowl and a jar of dog treats. It was also a lovely touch to be welcomed with a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge and some local biscuits. We had an amazing stay and would definitely book again. I would also love to find out more about the history of the cottage. All we found out was it was built in the 1600s

Ivy cottage was just as we expected and we had a wonderful holiday.

It is well placed 10/15 mins walk from the pretty cove with its lovely restaurants( booking ahead advisable) and delicious Ice cream kiosks. We had anticipated that parking might be an issue and having a fairly large car this almost stopped us booking however it was not an issue at all despite our neighbour having a transit van!! Would definitely stay again the only downside was the slightly uncomfortable beds, previous guests had mentioned a mattress topper which would be a good idea. Great for our 2 dogs they loved it too.

Good accommodation and location.

All facilities provided met our requirements. One parking space for the cottage was not ideal, but managed with street parking for the second car. A downstairs loo would be useful, but we acknowledge this is an old property, with lots of character. The Castle Inn next door is a real bonus and not at all noisy. Overall a very pleasant stay and we will certainly book again.

A truly lovely stay at Ivy Cottage with its thatched roof.

Had everything that we needed. Good sized bedrooms and having the ensuite helped. Kitchen had everything we needed and the living room was very cosy. Beautiful fireplace and we enjoyed the lit fire. We had our two dogs and the accessible enclosed garden was handy. Conveniently located to local pubs / restaurants and Lulworth Cove. Would love to return. Please note: towel rail in the twin bedroom needs replacing as unusable.

For the owner: - the plug in the bath leaks - needs a new O-ring - the mixer tap on the bath is loose - needs tightening to the bath - the small cafetiere is missing the filter (!

), needs replacing - radio - cottage could really do with a small radio. The CD players are a bit naff and the FM tuner on the one is pretty useless - the lounge could do with a couple of small lamps on the big window sills or a floor standing light (we borrowed a couple of bedroom table lamps - big improvement) Feedback: Delightful cottage, warm and comfortable, very well equipped. Having the wood burner going in the lounge made the cottage cosy and a pleasure to sit in and relax/read of an evening. Enjoyed having The Castle Inn right next door - great beer and good food. The ensuite bedroom at the back was spacious, comfortable and quiet. The two other bedrooms faced the road and were much noisier with traffic going past in the "rush hour". The cottage has been well fitted out with good quality furniture - has the most storage space we've ever seen in a rental cottage. We stayed in early January, so Lulworth and the pub were relatively quiet. We could imagine the road and pub would be much busier and noisier in season. Parking is an issue anywhere in West Lulworth, so having an off-road space is great - you just have to hope Little Ivy has a small car. Go and stay with the right expectations. We loved our week at Ivy Cottage - easy access to the cove and coastal walks, great pubs, cafes and restaurants. A beautiful, authentic thatched cottage to stay in.

A truly wonderful cottage and just perfect for 3 couples celebrating together.

Spotlessly clean, really well equipped and so cosy. Highly recommend!

Beautiful cottage in a great location, we had plenty of gorgeous walks with the dogs.

Good location , lulworth cove only a 10min walk from cottage and perfect for swimming and eating , all on your doorstep .

Cottage lovely, well furnished, spacious and well equipped.

Great location, close to beach, walks, pubs, restaurants and lots of places of interest nearby too such as Corfe Castle and Studland Bay

A lovely, comfortable cottage in an excellent location.

Wonderful walks and easy access to Lulworth cove and the coast road. Pub next door served very good food and takeaways. Enjoyed our stay so much we have booked again for next year.

Loved this cottage.

Big kitchen to cook our meals. Wi-Fi good. Able to stream movies ok. Great location for Durdle Door but Lulworth was great too. Not much night life which suited us. Dogs loved the garden. Very secure. Overall a great cottage to stay. Very roomy for us all and dogs. Would highly recommend.

We had a lovely holiday in ivy cottage would definitely like to return one day.

Lovely, comfortable cottage.

We couldn't have wanted anything more. Perfect location. It was lovely sitting in the garden first thing with a cup of tea listening to all the birds. The garden is a proper sun trap. The Castle Inn next door does fabulous pizzas which you can take-away if you don't fancy sitting outside the pub. Very little noise from the pub either. Great location for lots of walks. There is a little animal sanctuary opposite with a few sheep, pigs, chickens and ducks. To sum our break up, I would just say it was perfect, perfect, perfect.

Absolutely amazing!

Wished we stayed longer!

It’s a lovely cottage in a great location.

The parking is very tight especially if the neighbour’s car is on the large size and not fully reversed in. It’s the first time in over forty years of driving that I’ve scratched a car. The DVD player had sound but no vision. There was a hairdryer that was intermittent, possibly the power cable is broken. We didn’t use the grill as it had an unpleasant smell, possibly fish. The bath plug leaks, if you’re hoping for a soak in the bath you’ll need to keep topping up the water. The central heating was very efficient, so don’t worry if you’re looking at having a winter break. All in all a nice place to stay with a few issues to be addressed. The locality is good for hikers and dog walkers. The road network makes it easy to get around Dorset. As for local restaurants, you’re spoilt for choice.

Only weakness was the wi-fi which was barely usable.

Everything else was great

We really enjoyed our stay at the lovely Ivy Cottage - it has so much character - the pictures do not do it justice.

The cottage is well equipped with everything you need and the beds are so comfy. It has two nice pubs within walking distance - and the Castle Inn next door is not noisy or anything. The cottage is a 20 min walk from Lulworth cove and a 40 min walk from Durdle door. The off road car sparking space was difficult to get / reverse into - esp as we have a 7 seater car - but it got easier towards the end of the week.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in beautiful Ivy Cottage in an absolutely fantastic location just a short walk from Lulworth cove, and even closer (a few metres) from the nearest pub (Castle Inn)!

The cottage is surprisingly modern given its age, with all three rooms a lovely size and plenty of headroom which we weren't expecting given it is hundreds of years old. There is so much to do right from the doorstep, and the other attractions within the wider Isle of Purbeck are all only a short drive away (<30mins). Thoroughly recommend the location (West Lulworth) and this beautiful property.

The cottage is beautiful, spacious and home from home.

It is well appointed in the village, we had a lovely week away and we would go back.

We had everything we could wish for and more.

The cottage was very well maintained and loved by the owners. All comforts were well thought through. We will be coming back.

The cottage was beautiful and 10.

mins walk away from lulworth cove had everything we needed and wouldnt hesitate to go back

Another enjoyable family holiday with our dogs at the Ivy Cottage.

The cottage is spotlessly clean and has everything provided with plenty of room for 6 adults and two dogs :) I look forward to this holiday more than going abroad as you have everything on your doorstep, beach, long walks and great dog friendly pubs! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this amazing cottage and my two furry friends love it too! A few feedbacks have mentioned tight parking and while the space is limited, we had no trouble parking in the allocated space, don’t let this put you off!

Nice cottage, super difficult car parking, the listing didn’t advise of the cottage being 2 dwellings.

This made the parking even more difficult. Some items didn’t work . Overhead extractor on cooker was inoperative. Other than this the cottage was nice but I certainly would not call is a “ dream cottage “ Wouldn’t stay again due to how difficult it was to park . We ended up leaving the car in the pub carpark most nights .

As mentioned in your information details, the parking situation is difficult.

We found it such a problem, especially with the cottage being on such a busy road and ended up parking 50 yards away on the roadside.

Car parking is very tight and in the end we parked on the road as felt safer as access is a problem.

Ivy Cottage was brilliantly located for our family - we had trips out to Lyme Regis, Sherborne, Tolpuddle and Brownsea Island.

West Lulworth is a beautiful location - and the fact that we could walk from the cottage to Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door was fabulous. The cottage was very comfortable for 5 of us and a dog - and having 2 bathrooms was very helpful! The fully enclosed garden meant not having to worry about whether the dog could escape and it was a very pleasant garden to sit in during the evening. Reversing into the parking space was a slight challenge but we had perfected it by the end of the week.

We had a brilliant long weekend staying with good friends in Ivy Cottage.

...a perfect base for visiting The Flying Scotsman at Swanage Steam Railway. The cottage was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and very pretty with lots of character. We would love to come back one day.

This cottage is absolutely beautifully and so spacious, it's clean and has the most welcoming feeling, I definitely will be using Dream Cottages next year as they are so professional with any queries or enquiry, well done Dream you deliver what you promise, thanks for a great holiday

We absolutely loved staying in this cottage for a long weekend this February celebrating my daughter’s special birthday with family.

We were so very warm and cosy and comfortable and it felt very welcoming on arrival with milk and Prosecco in the fridge and a packet of biscuits etc to start us off-very thoughtful. Such olde-worlde quaint features -lovely decor and furnished well. Spacious -ultra clean -very homely and well equipped . Loved the log burner -great focal point . Even a nice little secure garden for our little dog. Photos don’t do it justice. Location excellent -easy walking distance to Lulworth Cove and conveniently situated next door to the very friendly local village pub -great atmosphere and good food! Also a choice of lovely Tea Shops/Restaurants and a local handy convenience store! We didn’t need to drive once! Other longer costal walks available to Durdle Door etc This wonderful cottage and location ticked all the boxes -no complaints -so much so I would like to return again soon as we had such lovely time -great memories!

Had a wonderful stay at Ivy cottage. We felt at home from the minute we arrived and found it extremely cozy with excellent facilities - the log burner was lovely after an evening stroll. The location is great, just a short walk from the cove. Stayed February 2016

The cottage was fantastic,it had everything you could possibly need including supplies for the dogs.The only thing missing was a pint glass for which we happily visited the pub next door who loaned them to us for the week.Great location just far enough from the cove to escape the crowds yet close enough to walk past the queues of traffic down to the beach. Lovely garden to retreat to after a day exploring.Would definitely stay again, loved it! Stayed June 2016

Absolutely lovely cottage with everything you could possibly need in a perfect location. Stayed May 2016

I chose this cottage to take my daughter, her partner, my grandson and my parents on a family holiday, so there was 4 generations staying at ivy cottage. We all had a lovely time and found the cottage to be divine. All the equipment we needed was there, the beds were comfortable and clean and the towels were fluffy and clean. We also found the pub next to the cottage very accommodating, who let as use their car park, and it was very convenient for something to eat. I suppose if I wanted to 'nitpick' there may have been some very minor issues, however I can't remember there being any so they must have been insignificant. Thank you for the welcome pack they were very 'welcome' indeed Stayed June 2016

Absolutely fabulous holiday. Ivy cottage is gorgeous and in a lovely position. There was everything you could possibly need in the cottage. Myself the wife and 4 kids will definitely be visiting again - stayed August 2016

Ivy Cottage is in the picturesque village of Lulworth. It is deceptively spacious and well-equipped. It was very clean and comfortable. There was plenty of room for 6 adults one toddler one baby and the dog! We spent an enjoyable week exploring the area including Lulworth Cove and Castle and also The Blue Pool which is a lovely wooded area around the lake with a nice tea room and the Wareham Bears exhibition which the toddler loved. For the more energetic ones. walking over to see The Durdle Door which was a very steep climb both up and down. Great location!. Stayed September 2016

Very nice property in a very impressive and beautifiul surrounding. Spacious and cozy. Extensive facilities. Stayed October 2016

The cleaner Mel was great and very helpful the cottage was lovely and clean and well maintained the position was great and had everything we could have asked for . I loved the kitchen :) Stayed December 2016

We loved Ivy Cottage and will hopefully be back very soon! The property is lovely, clean, feels spacious and is in a great location. The garden is lovely with a great area to sit and relax after a days walking! The house was kitted out very well, a real 'home from home'. We have stayed at many properties in Lulworth and we feel Ivy Cottage has been the best. We will not hesitate in recommending it to others. Stayed April 2017

This was our first dog holiday in the UK, and we couldn't have chosen a nicer location or cottage. Ivy Cottage simply has everything you need, even dog towels & dog treats!! The beautiful cottage is so clean and comfortable that we didn't want to leave! Mel and hubby ((sorry forgot your name!), are so helpful and accommodating, nothing is too much trouble. The Castle Inn pub is next door and most importantly, dog friendly and the food is good too! It's a short (doggy) walk to the beach, shops, restaurants and of course Durdle Door, there's also a great little Londis for essentials, which also has amazing homemade brownies and cakes! We will definitely be returning! Thanks for a great holiday! Stayed September 2017

Delightful cottage in a beautiful village. Equipped to the highest standard and lacking nothing. So homely. Should like to have spent longer there. Great to have come across the board games provided on last evening there. Stayed March 2018

We had a great weekend at Ivy Cottage arriving on Thursday evening and leaving on Sunday. Ivy Cottage is brilliantly set up for 6 and we also took 2 dogs. On arrival the first impression, the photos on the website don't do the house justice. House is very dog friendly, from the secure garden to the solid floors, dog treats and dog towels - the property owners understand what a dog owner needs. Kitchen and bathrooms were great and the surrounding area is lovely. We are already thinking about returning later in the Year. Stayed March 2018
