This cottage is in an ideal location for those who want to get out and about. It is within easy distance of Poole and Bournemouth and there are other good places to visit close by. We enjoyed Monkey World and Moors Valley country park. Farmer Palmers Farm is great for little ones. The property is nicely extended from the 17th Century cottage. It Read moreis however very close to the busy road and there is road noise in the rooms at the front of the property. There is a nice garden and we enjoyed using the barbecue hut to toast marshmallows one evening. The seating area in the lounge is not really suited to more than four people and this could be improved. It is a warm property but the owners did provide fans in most rooms if needed. Hide

Both the house and garden were very spacious, comfortable and well equipped. We had everything we needed for a lovely family holiday. We were particularly impressed with how the house catered for small children - high chairs, stair gates, bed guards and even a monitor. The house is close to all kinds of attractions and beaches, and there's a greaRead moret pub within easy walking distance. The only negative is that the house is on a busy road and it can be difficult to drive out without someone looking out for traffic. Hide

This is the third year we have stayed at Dulcima Cottage and again it provided us with a lovely holiday base for our mum to visit our sister and a great location for us to explore the local area. We had a wonderful evening using the BBQ hut, garden and table tennis room to entertain our extended family. A great holiday cottage.

Dulcima Cottage was a warm and welcoming place to arrive to on a damp and gloomy Saturday in the week before Christmas. The cottage was spotlessly clean, and very comfortable, particularly the beds. The kitchen is well provided for (especially if you are doing 'real' self-catering), and the welcome treats of chocolate biscuits, four pints of milk Read more(not the usual token one or two pints), and bottle of prosecco were a nice surprise. Since we were close to Christmas, it was nice to see a lit Christmas tree and some decorations making the cottage even more homely. The garden is large with many facilities, and if you have small children there is a slide, climbing frame and swings to keep them entertained. The only down side is that after driving into the property's entrance, the only realistic way to exit is to reverse onto a busy road, which is closer to the front of the property than the photo suggests. However, since the main cottage entrance is at the rear within the enclosed garden, there is no real issue for people on foot. Overall this is a good location for visiting many parts of Dorset, or just for local walks to the many nature reserves and open spaces. Hide

We loved our weeks stay here, the kids (3 & 1) really enjoyed exploring the garden, and the house was lovely to come back to after wet and/or windy walks. It was super relaxing to stay somewhere that was so child friendly. Kitchen was well stocked, everywhere was clean, we all really appreciated the welcome pack too
