Probably the best holiday cottage we have stayed at over the past twenty years. The standard of design and finish were excellent and Mrs Strover was very welcoming and friendly. We couldn't fault our stay at Woad Cottage and expect to return again next year.

We loved staying at Stoke Knapp Farm. Woad Cottage has just recently been beautifully renovated and furnished to a very high standard and it's in an absolutely stunning location.

This was a new property refurbished to a very high standard. Everything first class and very tastefully done and it felt very private and not overlooked. There was a generous Welcome Pack and the owners were discretely around on the farm if needed. There are many walks from the buildings over the fields and up to the ancient forest of Levesdon HillRead more. Dorset is one of the most beautiful counties this country has to offer and this is the perfect place to explore it. Will definitely book again. Hide
