Guests say
One Dorchester Drive offers a peaceful countryside retreat, especially popular with dog owners thanks to its enclosed garden and dog-friendly touches. Guests praise the spacious, clean accommodation, comfortable beds, and the welcoming onsite pub with excellent food. The property is well-equipped and ideal for exploring the local area, though some mention its rural location means amenities are a short drive away. Occasional maintenance issues and minor cleanliness concerns are noted, but most guests enjoy a relaxing, comfortable stay and would happily return.
Most guests found the cottage clean and tidy, with several describing it as spotless. However, a few reviews mention issues such as unclean plates, pans, and cigarette butts in the garden, which slightly lowers the score.
The rural, peaceful setting is highly praised, especially for those seeking tranquillity and dog walks. The proximity to the pub is a bonus. Some guests note the need to drive for shops and amenities, but this is generally seen as a positive for those wanting a quiet escape.
Guests frequently mention comfortable beds and a relaxing atmosphere. Some suggest upgrading to a king-size bed in the main bedroom and note that the sofas could be more comfortable. Overall, comfort is a strong point.
The property is well-equipped, with a fully stocked kitchen and enclosed garden. Guests appreciate the dog-friendly extras. Some mention the lack of a washing machine and minor maintenance issues (e.g., loose tap, tired furnishings), but these do not detract significantly from the overall experience.
Many guests highlight thoughtful touches such as dog beds, bowls, towels, and treats. While these gifts are appreciated, it should be noted that such extras are not guaranteed for every stay. Communication from the host is also praised.

we had a lovely time in this cottage. It was spacious and spotless while also being dog friendly.The pub staff and food were amazing. I would definitely go back . This is not a complaint but the only thing missing was a place to walk the dogs next to the property. There was a field but it had a style so couldn't get the dogs over

Our 2nd stay this year at the cottages. No.1 Dorchester was perfect for us and our cockapoo.Everything you need for humans and dogs , really helpful to have dog bed, bowls and treats provided. In fact , some milk in the fridge for the humans would have been appreciated.Cottage clean, beds comfortable, enclosed back garden, great place to relax, walk the dog or go exploring. Pub on site is a bonus as already stated. We will definitely be back and can certainly recommend the cottages. Owner very helpful and pleasant .
