A lovely house with comfortable beds and a choice of the lounge with it's gas log burner or the warm relaxing conservatory. There's great view from the rear of the property and plenty of walks on your doorstep. If you want to travel farther a field there's loads to explore in Dorset and across the boarder into Devon which is about an hour's drive away.Thank you for a lovely stay, we will definitely be returning next year. 😊👍
