It was a lovely place to stay, quiet and peaceful, but easy access to nearby towns

Jennifer

Fabulous location and beautiful accommodation. Lovely welcome hamper which was superb and really thoughtful. Hot tub was so relaxing at the end of the day and kitchen so well equipped. Complimentary bath robes very welcome. Local walks so beautiful. Only one slight issue was shower had very poor pressure but didnt spoil our stay.

Scarlett

Beautiful property. Excellent facilities and extremely comfortable. What a wonderful part of the world. We would love to come back to explore more of the area.

What a lovely, clean and very well equipped cottage! Everything we could wish for was thought of and we were pleasantly surprised by the hamper full of delicious surprises. The little village of Witchampton is so nice and peaceful and there's a lot to see in a short driving distance. We didn't use the hot tub, but we are sure that is very pleasant too.

Wonderful place to stay and delightful hosts.

The Coach House is a lovely, stylish holiday property. It is extremely clean and well maintained. The Hot tub is lovely and the bed was very comfy. Sarah and Andrew were very flexible as our hosts and made sure our needs were met. We never felt over looked whilst staying in the coach house and felt very relaxed whilst staying at the property and could come and go as we pleased. The Coach House sits in a quaint little village of Witchampton and is easily accessible by car to the main villages and attractions in Dorset.

Elaine

This is one of the best self catering accommodations we have stayed in. The village is calm and peaceful and the Coach House has character with an emphasis on the modern and everything you might need for a week away. Plus the hot tub is a treat and bonus. The provisions left for us were all local and there is a nod towards trying to be more eco in the household goods used. We liked it a lot and when back down this way agin to visit relatives will make this our first port of call.

Delightful stay in a clean, smart and well organised space.

We had a lovely relaxing time at The Coach House! The area is very quiet and peaceful which was exactly what we needed. The suggested walks were excellent. We did the Badbury Rings trail and it was good exercise plus a good walk to clear busy minds. We did also go to the Witchampton & Crichel Club for Fish & Chips on Wednesday night and the portions were indeed huge. The kitchen was nicely stocked with the bare necessities sugar, tea bags, instant coffee, salt, pepper, cooking oil all the crockery & cutlery and a cafetiere! If food supplies are required, it's best to go the Waitrose in Wimborne which is about 5 miles away. But all these recommendations are in a very well prepared handbook. Above all, the welcome hamper & fresh hen eggs were thoughtful and lovely touch. We had an amazing stay!

Richard

Beautiful accommodation, which you will want to return to. Lovely welcome pack when we arrived. A superb gem. Very comfortable.

Excellent stay, property was lovely and very well equipped. We had an amazing time.

We have had a lovely week staying in the Coach House Witchampton. The accommodation was clean and the facilities excellent. The Hot Tub was really good. There were treats on arrival which was an added bonus. The house is situated well to get around East Dorset there are many well signposted footpaths. We would definitely recommend this holiday house.

Belinda

The Coach House was amazing. We couldn't have asked for more. All the comforts plus more and the hot tub was such a bonus after a day out. The welcome pack was a lovely thought and appreciated. After a day out at Monkey World or the Tank Museum, it felt like coming home each day. Apologies to Sarah & Andrew though, we forgot to wipe out the fridge after emptying, both of us thought the other had done it, oops!!

What a fabulous place to stay. Very clean and tidy. We had a great hamper when we arrived. Good location and not far from all the places we wanted to visit in Dorset. Hot Tub was excellent to get into after our days out. Sarah and Andrew are very pleasant and friendly. Very recommendable.

Caroline

Fabulous property. Extremely well equipped and everything was of the highest standard. Perfect location within the Village with appointed parking space directly outside. Local village shop and Club a few minutes up the road. Plenty of information about local walks and places to visit which was useful. Welcome Hamper with local produce and eggs from the owners chickens were a lovely friendly touch. We had the best of weeks and would love to return. The hot tub was a great bonus!

Darren

The accomodation was spotless when we arrived and the food hamper was a nice touch.

We had a fabulous time at the Coach House fantastic touches by Sarah & Andrew with fresh eggs from their free range chickens, milk, fresh flowers, biscuits & so much more left for us on arrival & at the start of our second week. The hot tub was just amazing definitely the best we have been in & we have been in a few

We enjoyed a lovely week at the Coach House and the welcome basket was wonderful, filled with everything you needed to start your holiday. The eggs from the owners hens were also delicious. The Coach House was immaculately clean and comfortable and finished to a very high standard. The owners were friendly and helpful and on hand if you needed them, but unobtrusive otherwise. Thank you Sarah & Andrew for a lovely stay, we definitely hope to return.

Absolutely brilliant week away. Everything we needed for a relaxing time. The hot tub is something else and very nice. Very quiet village in the middle of lots of Dorset countryside. If its a chill out holiday youre after you couldnt do better. One slight warning the church is next door and they ring the bells

Lorraine

The Coach House was a lovely place to spend the week. It is well designed and spotlessly clean. Any issues we had were because I have a disability and the property is not set up for the disabled. However I managed to cope and would love to return in spite of this. The owners were very friendly and provided a delightful welcome hamper including fresh new laid eggs.A brilliant holiday property.

Catherine

Lovely break in a delightful. Holiday cottage, with every facility you could wish for. The property is spotless, well equipped with all you could need, there is an attractive courtyard garden, fully enclosed perfect for the dog and there is a hot tub as well. Even a hamper of local goodies on arrival and s selection of free range eggs from their own chickens.

Lovely stay, great facilities and the property has been finished to a beautiful standard. Nice to be gifted a hamper on arrival. Only recommendation would be some BBQ utensils to assist with the use of the BBQ. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Andrew

We loved the coach house so much! A brilliant conversion, quality fixtures and fittings. We were delighted with the very tasty welcome hamper including fresh eggs from the owners rescued chickens! One of the highlights was the hot tub after a day out around the beautiful countryside! Perfect!

We had a lovely break in The Coach House thank you. The property was very comfortable and well equipped in an idyllic and very quiet village location with lots of lovely walks from the doorstep. Just what we needed to recharge our batteries thank you!

Amazing, stylish studio property in a fantastic location for exploring Dorset. Super dog friendly, modern, spacious, spotlessly clean, with a fully equipped kitchen and heavenly hot tub for unwinding in. A hamper full of goodies made us feel so welcome. Literally cannot fault the coach house. Thank you for a wonderful stay, wed recommend and even book again in a heartbeat !

We had a lovely stay, every thing was perfect. The welcome hamper was very thoughtful with lots of local produce. Wonderful to find the hot tub ready when we arrived so we were relaxing immediately! We found so many interesting places to visit including the beach and the New Forest to walk our energetic dog!

We had a lovely stay at the Coach House. All the facilities were almost as new and the welcome hamper along with the thoughtful flowers on arrival were a lovely touch after our 3 hour journey. The location is ideal for exploring the coast or heading inland to the nearby market towns Wimborne & Blandford Forum. The hot tub was also great to chill out and reflect on the days activities. Our 11 month dog loved all the local walks which you could strike out on from the property. Witchampton is a lovely village in a beautiful part of Britain. Highly recommend the Coach House and the area.Thank you to the owners who although were on hand if needed never interfered in our stay. Would hurry back in an instance!

Briony

Fantastic place to stay, amazing hosts, lots of little touches, i. E fresh flowers, local goodies in the hamper and lovely fresh eggs.

All in all very special, definitely will book again

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the coach house. It was exactly the relaxing break that we needed and would definitely book again. The hot tub was the icing on the cake and was well used after our walks.

We had a fabulous week at this place. Owners left us alone to relax and chill even though they live next door we didn't feel invaded or like we were being watched. The hot tub is amazing and so is the accomodation. The village is very quiet and tranquil and there are loads of surrounding area well worth a visit. All in all the best getaway we have had since we'll before COVID. The thoughtful hamper was such a nice welcome too. We hope to return again soon!

The property was immaculate and exceeded our expectations. The owners have thought of everything needed and added personal touches with flowers, a welcome hamper of local produce and essentials in the fridge and cupboards.

Such a delightful Coach House. Immaculately turned out and everything you might need for your stay. Lovely extras such as a local produce hamper and fresh flowers. And the hot tub was divine! The village was so peaceful, and the Community shop and Club was an added bonus. Your local walks were perfect for us and the dog. Thank you & well be back soon!

We had a lovely stay at the coach house everything we needed was provided. It was warm and comfortable, Sarah was kind and approachable.
