The cottage was delightfully decorated, warm & cosy, & well equipped. The welcome goodies left for us by the owners, Graham & Antony, were lovely & much appreciated. Parking down the lane was not an issue. The location was great to get to Charmouth, West Bay & Bridport, & also convenient to venture further by car e.g. Haynes Car Museum & ChristchurRead morech. Enjoyed dog walks around the local area; & found the neighbours friendly. Would love to have an opportunity to visit the cottage again. Hide

This was our second holiday at Shute Cottage but won't be our last. We love everything out it; it was warm, comfortable, peaceful, perfectly positioned for country walks..... No faults at all and therefore i can't think of anything that could be improved.. Plus, a big thank to the owners for their thoughtful welcome.

Dont think we couldve asked for a more perfect experience to be honest! Tastefully decorated and comfortably furnished which was refreshing (so many other cottage owners decorate theirs like an old peoples home or from the 1970s, eeww). It had everything we needed. The beautiful village location was perfect too, for walks, from the holloway up ShutRead morees Lane, a hidden gem, to Thorncombe Beacon across field and down lanes, and beaches and the friendly Ilchester Arms.
