Lovely old farmhouse. Very warm and comfortable. The location is perfect (quiet with lovely views across the fields at the rear of the property).

View spectacular. House great. All beds into singles is a real bonus. All facilities especially garden, hot tub, trampoline, ping pong, make it a kids paradise. Slope prevented cricket matches but plenty of football. Walk to pub down tracks is possible but walk back a step too far and often closed so everything else is a car or taxi ride.

Fantastic cottage! Everything perfect!

Lorrie

Great stay ! Lovely farm house . Very homely and warm

Steven

The cottage was spacious, well equipped and thoughtfully laid out. It is in a stunning location, remote enough to enjoy the countryside views but still possible to walk to Symondsbury in about 30 minutes and / or a 5 minute drive into Bridport. It was a pleasant surprise the see brand new washing machine, tumble dryer and table tennis table. The be ds deserve a special mention as they were excellent, very large and very comfortable. Overall an excellent cottage for a large family holiday.

Sally

Absolutely beautiful house and stunning garden with views over the countryside. We were a party of 9 and there was plenty of equipment for everyone. Not far to nice towns and beaches.

Susannah

Lovely comfortable farmhouse with the most amazing views. Close to Bridport and the coast. It was unfortunate the hot tub was dirty and it took a few days to resolve the issue

Julie

Beautiful Farmhouse in an excellent location with idyllic views.

Joan

Beautiful, peaceful cottage. 20 minute walk through field to a glorious cafe. Hope to come back.

Katharine

This cottage is absolutely beautiful, in totally gorgeous surroundings. The house is furnished beautifully and was very warm on a cold January weekend. The hot tub was warm and ready to jump in... But quite hard to work out how to turn it up, and unfortunately there was a problem with the water pressure which meant sometimes we couldn't shower, flu sh the toilet or wash hands. This is apparently due to the cottage being in a rural area and being fed by a spring which affects the water pressure.

Jane

Spent a week over Christmas 2021 with nine family members . Beautiful Farmhouse with stunning views overlooking the countryside. Hot tub was fabulous. Comfortable beds and great amenities. Ilchester Arms pub just over one mile away serving good food

Tricia

Lovely big property in a beautiful peaceful location. Walks on the doorstep but need a car to explore the area properly and also if you want to eat out. The hot tub was lovely to return to after long walks.

Caroline

Lovely location comfortable farmhouse, dogs especially loved the garden.
