Stag Cottage Reviews

Louise
One of the best vacation homes we have stayed in. Fully equipped, beautifully furnished and immaculately clean. Every last detail has been thought of. We particularly enjoyed the quiet location coupled with lovely views of woodland and countryside.
Sandra
Our second stay here and loved it again. We will be back
We had an amazing stay despite the weather at stag cottage. It is a brilliant base to explore the beautiful Dorset countryside and coast. Quiet and secluded, it feels like being right out in the country, but you are close to amenities. A hot tub is always a bonus, and really importantly is not overlooked. The cottage is very well equipped throughout, warm and comfortable. It has clearly been well thought out, and finished to a high standard. It was a really nice touch to be greeted by Debbie on our arrival, and to know she is on hand if needed throughout the stay. Generally we really enjoyed our stay, and the biggest compliment I can give is that I would happily return and stay here again.
An amazing property! From the moment we opened the door and entered Stage Cottage we knew that we were in for a treat. The cottage was beautifully clean and has been finished to a very high standard with every amenity that we could have wished for, including a lovely welcome hamper. The owners, Debbie and Kevin, were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Sitting in the hot tub, watching the birds and squirrels, was a treat, as we soaked away any aches from the long walks! We spent two weeks there and discovered so many different places to visit. Some of our family were so impressed by what we told them that they have encouraged us to book The Barn a larger property on the site for us all next year!
Annabel

Dorothy
This place is fantastic. I stayed two weeks. Its close to beaches, towns, countryside and woods. The kitchen is fully stocked . It even had a butter dish and champagne bucket. Everything was nice quality. And the hot tub was also fab. Bathroom toiletries provided were beautiful with a super big bath.
Christopher
Stunning high quality and luxury accomodation. In excellent location far enough away from built uo areas to give silent nights and excellent star gazing yet still very close to many popular Dorset attractions and also not far from the beautiful New Forest. Everything about the property, the hosts and our stay was 1010. We will 100 recommend to friends and family and we hope to return in the future.
Melissa
We had a lovely stay here with our two young boys. A great base for days out, so much to do nearby. The cottage is so lovely and fresh in very quiet surroundings. Has a real pampering feel to it with the toiletries, hamper of goodies and hot tub. Would definitely stay here again.
Stag Cottage is beautiful, spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Debbie and Kevin are lovely, very welcoming and helpful. The hot tub was a boon!! Will happily recommend the property without hesitation.
Ashley
Stag cottage is a lovely home from home providing everything we needed for a week away with family. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to family and friends wanting to visit the area. We found the location great for trips along the Jurassic Coast and beyond!

A lovely property. Immaculately presented with everything you could need. Beautiful location we would definitely consider a return visit!
Andrew
We stayed at Stag Cottage as a group of 5 for New Year, and thoroughly enjoyed it, especially taking in the forest and the night sky from the hot tub. The cottage is well equipped, spotlessly clean and the hosts are very helpful. We look forward to coming back in the warmer months!
Stag cottage was a beautiful stay! It was lovely sitting in the hot tub looking out on the Dorset. The welcome pack and robes were a nice touch. We had a lovely weekend and Debbie couldnt have been more helpful!

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.
