Trish
Lovely touch leaving sausages, bacon, eggs, black pudding for breakfast and a bottle of fizz.. Pizza oven was fun to use. Some of us had fun swimming in the big lake and dogs too, as we had such beautiful weather. The use of the boat and kayak was also fun. Generally a lovely place to spend either a week or a few days to unwind. Thank you

The hosts Chris and Amy were very friendly and helpful, the location is great for exploring Dorset in general, with a great pub a short distance away as well as supermarkets etc. The only criticism we would have is a lack of blinds in the bedroom windows which was a problem for our children going to sleep and waking up early, but on the whole, a great base for the week and would definitely recommend.
