Enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend to others who would like a quiet get away with beautiful countryside and villages to visit. This time of year though it was just nice to snuggle up with a good book after braving the cold to visit the beautiful Sherborne and interesting Shaftesbury. In warmer climes we eould have done more but this cottage is a fabulous base . Be aware of the stairs though, very quirky and twisty not suitable for everyone .

Spacious and comfortable beds. Great water pressure and shower was lovely in the morning. Easy to find and a parking space right outside. A nice friendly pub 2 minute walk away. The sofa was not the most comfortable and to deep but otherwise a great cottage. Could do with a griddle and some non stick pans and salad tongs, but otherwise very well equipped. Owners very friendly and relaxed. Would stay again.

Lovely hosts. Perfect for 2 couples with 2 dogs, we had a great stay. As in the description, the stairs are steep so take care!
