The garden and its Heath to the back was great for the dogs. The only thing was that the seating wasn't enough for as all to sit together comfortably without move chairs from one room to another. The conservation was a big hit for us, and we spent most of our time in there....but had to move chairs from the dining room. The bedroom where comfortably and the showers good. The kichen was well equipped, the only 2 things would be only one shelf in the oven and the glasses were small but other than that all good. Signal is very bad but WiFi was good We all had a lovely week at Heath cottage

Has a great garden and provides access to Holton Heath for that early morning walk. The house was comfortable and provided ample facilities for our family, a bathroom each, the downstairs en suite bedroom was also great for a less mobile elderly member of our party. The one issue we did have was resolved quickly and efficiently within 24hr.

The driveway can accommodate several cars. The garden is pretty and a good size, with the heath being located straight from the back gate, which is ideal for walking the dog. We used the bus a few times, for Poole and Wareham, as the bus stop is conveniently right outside the house. I would recommend this property.
