Really cosy, well furnished cottage in an idyllic village with great local walks and within near reach of all the beautiful places Dorset has to offer. We were a little disappointed to find that the local pub, described in the listing and reviews, had in fact gone out of business. There are lots of other lovely pubs around but none within walking dRead moreistance. This spoilt our holiday slightly as we had two teens with us and we had promised evenings in the pub.
