We couldn’t fault this beautiful cottage at all. The location is just idyllic, tucked away nicely, with an amazing hot tub in the meadow and gorgeous accommodation. Everything was so clean and the bedding was really comfy. We took our three boys to explore the beaches on the Jurassic coastand it was such a treat to come back to the cottage for evenings by the fire and a dip in the hot tub while stargazing together. Anthony and Gillian were brilliant hosts, giving us advice and chatting over morning coffee with the sheep and lambs. Would 100% recommend this cottage!
Oliver
Fabulous location, fabulous property. It's such a treat to be on a working farm with the livestock right there! Meeting the owners Anthony and Gill was wonderful, they made us feel really welcome. We will be back.
Emma
This place is amazing, beautifully designed and equipped for a wonderful stay! There were so many lovely touches that made our weekend extra special. The location is just picturesque. We had guests ranging from 15 to 60and I reckon everyone would enjoy a stay here. The wood-fired hot tub was easy to use and perfectly positioned among some trees that were lit beautifully at night, with 360-degree views. Super Insta-friendly! Fresh wild flowers in vases everywhere added such a special touch, really subtle and lovely. The hosts were wonderful.

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.

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.
