From the moment we stepped inside, we knew we'd love it here! The living room and bedroom are both spacious, filled with natural lightand super comfy. We spent ages just soaking in the views of the fields and the stunning garden. The owners are really friendly and gave us some great tips on local spots.

What a lovely rural location! It's such a quiet and relaxing spot, perfect for heading out to explore the attractions in Dorset and the surrounding area.

We had the absolute best time here! This holiday accommodation is some of the most spacious and well equipped we have ever stayed in. Beautiful views, incredibly peaceful and our boys adored the hot tub, they used it every day. While local attractions aren't on your doorstep, everything is easily reachable by car in under 30 minutes. We spent lots of time in West Bay, Lyme Regis and Charmouth. We highly recommend this lovely place and its hosts!

This was a lovely, clean and comfortable property in a very quiet and remote location. It is a bit of a trek from the main road but once we found it, it was easy enough.

Monkey World is not only a local attraction but the work they carry out is amazing.

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.
