If you want to get away from noise, and stay in a superbly clean property in an idyllic setting then you have found it! A beautifully kept property which is owner managed.

I concur with virtually all positive reviews I have seen. A fine barn style property, immaculately clean and catering for all modern needs.

Three bedrooms, each with their own bathroom was certainly one of our main requirements and the hot tub was a pleasa nt bonus.

We have stayed in numerous holiday cottages and this was one our our top picks. Facilities, friendly welcome and nothing too much bother.

Bathrooms and showers good, Kitchen facilities were all you needed. The outdoor surrounding are just ideal for a relaxing break.

Nothing to fault this beautiful cottage. Idyllic location tucked away, amazing hot tub in the meadow and gorgeous accommodation. So clean and comfy bedding. We explored the beaches on the Jurassic coast with our 3 boys and it was great to return to the cottage for evenings by the fire and a dip in the hot tub to watch the stars together. Anthony an d Gillian were the perfect hosts, offering advice and chatting with us over morning coffee by the sheep and lambs. Would 100% recommend this cottage.

Difficult to fault this accommodation. The owners made us so welcome and provided us with mince pies.
