The property is located in a very rural area and getting to and from it can prove challenging. The local roads are very narrow and often require careful navigating. The countryside locally is beautiful and ideal if you like walking.

Excellent place for a large family get together. Very spacious rooms and a good layout meant it never felt crowded. The property was spotlessly clean and well equipped for large gatherings. Beautiful location, tucked away near a farm, but a short drive back to civilisation. We had a lovely time here, the piano was a big hit (though I could have donRead moree without my nephew playing Elton John at 8am!). The owners were very friendly and helpful with any queries I had. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Hide

A very quiet location in terms of roads but with other houses close, not overlooked at all but not totally secluded. Lovely local walks and great pubs within walking distance. Amazing Dorset beaches 20 min drive away. The house is modern with a very well fitted and supplied kitchen for cooking for numbers. The garden is spacious with lots of lawn. Read moreNo flower areas (although we were in the 2022 heatwave so they were prob all dried out). Was quite expensive without a pool but we booked late. Hide
