Owners were very helpful, EV charger was handy and we had a great week. Visited Moor Valley Country Park (highly recommended) and various areas such as Wimborne. Highly recommend the Lambs Green pub and Stocks Inn.

Beautiful cottage, however advertisement misleading as on the photos you cannot see the other properties adjacent to the cottage, on hot days the cottage becomes very warm wouldnt be ideal to leave dogs inside. Would be useful to have this detailed on the advertisement.

We had a lovely week at this cottage despite the weather. It really is a lovely comfortable place and our dog loved the access from the garden to the paddock for his ball games. Lots of lovely pubs nearby doing excellent food we recommend The Old Thatch and the Horton Inn for a really lovely Sunday Roast.
