We really appreciated the seasonal touches (Christmas tree, crackers, festive treats) and practical items such as the stair gate and high chair. The property was very well maintained and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking full meals. Thank you!

It is a spacious and clean property. It was a quiet and peaceful environment in a lovely village. There was parking for two cars just outside the property and in addition we had an enclosed garden. The only thing we would mention there was no composting of household food waste and instructions were to bag it up with the general waste. It is a good location to take a bus into Weymouth or Dorchester, a short walk of 10 mins to the bus stop or drive to local attractions. Well worth a visit the The Wishing Well Tearooms and Water Gardens in Upwey.

Needs coffee machine, larger TV, sound such as Bluetooth speaker. The ensuite would be much better with a proper shower rather than bath, extractor needs to be replaced with a much quieter model that only switches off when humidity falls, ensuite had a damp musty smell. Broken Velux needs repairing. Nice village location close to many places to visit, it's 2024 please stop using COVID as an excuse, bring back the guestbook, games, local information. It makes cottage stays much more enjoyable. Agency were very professional, welcoming and helpful.
