The house was a bit cramped for 12 people but the weather was lovely and we really appreciated the use of the orchard for football. The location was good with plenty to do around within an hour's drive. Very impressed with Nothe Fort in Weymouth.

Perfect venue for a cosy week catching up with friends, we had been looking for somewhere large enough for all 10 of us to get together, play board games and have a film night! This was perfect! The dining table accomodated us all, as did the sofa! We also did all our own cooking and found the kitchen to be well equiped, (far more so than some professional kitchens weve used!) Will definitely be keeping this saved for future catch ups!!

What a stunning cottage in the most beautiful area! And I cannot recommend Adrian and his daughter as hosts enough. The cottage was perfect for our family celebrations, had everything we needed, was very comfortable and clean with fans provided for the warmer nights too, bonus! Also noted heaps of extra blankets for colder months too, nice touch. And the views were beautiful! We were lucky to have full use of all the areas as we were the only guests, we chose the allocated farmhouse BBQ area and enjoyed a lovely evening there, although the Orchard proved to be a wonderful suntrap when the BBQ area fell into the shade. There is so much to do in the area too! The local towns and beaches are definately worth the visit! The biggest hit for everyone was the games room, if we werent enjoying the views we were playing pool! Could have easily spent a lot longer here, thank you Adrian and Jenny for being so amazing and accomodating for us! Highly recommended!! 5*

Property has a rural location. With lots of outdoor space and easy drive to beaches, and activities. Well equipped kitchen, bedrooms good, linen a bit old fashioned. The showers were a poor standard. Not enough water pressure, useful laundry room. Good for large family and children.
