We were made to feel very welcome on arrival and found the property to be very relaxing and comfortable. There were 5 of us staying for 4 nights and we found the property gave us more than enough space particularly with the 3 large en-suite bedrooms. There is a small private garden but we also enjoyed sitting in the main grounds with the chickens, ducks and pigs wandering around. A very enjoyable stay thank you.
The house was very spacious and to have 3 en suite bedrooms is quite unusual.
Very quite and lovely garden to share. Garden contained many types of bird and was great for the children. Would recommend to others.
The house is on a farm close to Chesil Beach with easy access to pleasant walks along the Fleet lagoon. We appreciated the well equipped and comfortable accommodation, especially the 3 en suite double bedrooms. The living room and kitchen were spacious and the small garden was an additional bonus. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful.
Owner was very pleasant.Cottage was great.Was spacious, clean and very well equipped.
My girls loved having their own ensuite bathrooms, they also had lovely views of the sea. Also had their own tv's, felt very spoilt.

Art lessons are available during your stay.
