Best holiday rental ever. Everything we needed was provided, real evidence of thought and care by the owners. Loved the cows, the ducks on the R.Wey, nice to be on a working farm. Lovely and warm in the cottage, beds comfortable and safe showers. Evenings of watching films, eating popcorn, with the log fire roaring. Great day trips to Bowleaze CoveRead more, West Bay and Dorchester. Marlboro the best chippy. The Lobster Pot at Portland Bill the best crab sandwiches. Support the Ukrainian cafe please. Hide

Catherine
I would recommend this cottage without saying hesitation. We were made to feel very welcome, on arrival there was flowers, lovely cakes and a bottle of prosecco, so thoughtful and although never met Lin, I spoke to her and she was lovely, Rob we met and he was friendly and so helpful. The cottage was immaculate and furnished to very high standards, the hot tub was great. The whole holiday was very relaxing . Thank you Rob & Lin. Definitely 5 stars from the Beech Family.
Tim
We have been holidaying in cottages for the past 10 years and I can say that this was by far the best we have stayed in. Every detail of the holiday cottage was to the highest standard. The cottage was impeccable, its location, only 10 minutes outside of Weymouth and 10 minutes from the A35 was perfect. As a dog owner there were walks straight outs ide the cottage with no traffic to worry about. Every little detail was catered for. Thank you Lin & Rob for a fantastic time.
Tracey
Our second visit to this cottage and it didnt disappoint! Great location with so many attractions & activities local. The cottage has absolutely everything you need for a great stay, but the owners are about if you need them, but give you loads of privacy. The garden is a lovely space to relax in the piece and quiet, and is fully enclosed for your dog to enjoy. The covered hot tub area is a great asset, no matter what the weather.
Helen
This is probably one of the best cottages Ive stayed in. It had everything we needed. The bed linen and bath towels were lovely and fresh smelling. The beds were very comfortable. The dual aspect windows helped get a good air flow through on hot days. The kitchen, living and dining areas were well equipped and laid out. Outside there are plenty are seats for enjoying al-fresco eating and drinking. TV channels were a bit limited - a Sky basic package would be a great addition.
Aimee
We had a lovely stay, Lin & Rob were very welcoming! Also very helfpul and fixed issues quickly. Fizz on arrival was welcomed after a long drive and the cake was yummy. It is in a stunning setting close to Weymouth and Dorchester. Cottage itself is a great size, comfortable and homely. Garden is well kept and very secure for the dog. Loved the hot tub, biggest we have been in. Some great walks from the doorstep too, only thing missing is a pub along the way.
Debbie
The best cottage we have stayed at, everything you need is there and had been thought about by the owners. The welcome touches on arrival was such a pleasure to receive. The best beds and a welcome hot tub to relax in after a day out. It was the best of both worlds , rural setting and the coast easily accessible. Weather was beautiful so we didnt n eed to use the log burner but we could imagine it being cosy when on.
Linda
Dragonfly cottage is in an idyllic position, perfect for walks with your dog. The cottage is beautifully appointed, very comfortable beds and bed linen. The hot tub, and gardens private and great for relaxing in the sun or shade. Minutes away by car to supermarkets, and the beach, making trips out easy.
Dee
The cottages have everything you need for a relaxing , stress free break. The properties are well maintained and cared for and the fixtures and fittings are of a high quality standard. There are a lot of little personal touches added that make the whole experience perfect
Mark
Second stay and will return. Fantastic property and amenities. Owners on top of everything and lovely welcome gift too. Absolutely nothing to complain about.
Kathryn
The house was absolutely perfect and being welcomed with brownies and sparkling wine was a very nice touch. We loved the hot tub and seeing the cows first thing in the morning. The decor was beautiful and the owners had thought of everything. It was such a peaceful area, we didnt want to leave. We have already recommended to some friends.
Joanne
A wonderful cottage all you wish for and more.
Alan
Excellent cottage with helpful owners Could have benefited from somewhere to place suitcases in the bedrooms & maybe cahair in each. not a criticsm - just suggestionj
Gina
Dragonfly was an exception property and provided all we needed for our stay and more. The prosecco, chocolate muffins, flowers and personalised message was very welcoming. The hot tub was checked every day and the free standing bath was a great treat. I would have no problem with recommending this property and will be booking again to return.
Anthony
This one is real value for money and you won't be disappointed ...stylish, spacious and is equipped to a very high standard.....great location, quiet and rural but so easy to get to all the county attractions. Book this with confidence.

Dorset Teddy Bear Museum - DT1 1JU
about 4 Miles
This family orientated museum is dedicated to Teddy Bears both old and new Edward Bear and his family of people sized bears are one of the main attractions.  You can buy teddy bear gifts from the quaint shop including top notch brands.  The Steiff Teddy Bear and Merrythought bears are very popular.  Open 7 days a week all year round (except 25th and 26th December) this is a perfect all weather place to visit.
Kingston Maurward Gardens and Animal Park - DT2 8PY
about 5 Miles
Kingston Maurward Gardens and Animal Park is a magical place to visit with grand gardens and plenty of animals to meet.  From goats and ponies to alpacas and pot bellied pigs this attraction is excellent value for money.  You can feel free to explore the grounds too which are especially lovely on sunny days.  You will see majestic floral displays, stone terraces, a temple and even a lake.
Monkey World - BH20 6HH
about 11 Miles
Monkey World is not only a local attraction but the work they carry out is amazing.  Rescuing and rehabilitating monkeys and assisting governments around the world to stop the smuggling of primates are just some of the purposes of the centre. You get to see the primates themselves many of which have become famous from appearing on the TV show Monkey World - a documentary about this place. Open year round we think this is one of best attractions in Dorset and you even get the chance to adopt a monkey if you choose.
