Our third stay at this wonderful property and secluded garden.The property is practical and the host available nearby if any problems arise.If you like country walks , you will be in the right spot given the nearby heathland etc ( watch out for the rabbits ). If you like the seaside, not far from Weymouth etc.Lovely pub ( Red Lion ) at the botttom of the road . Other pubs are available !.Monkey World about 10 mins away .

A clean functional rental, suitable for two couples situated in a very quiet and beautiful part of Dorset.
This is our second stay. We loved the location, very convenient for many places. We visited Lulworth Cove, Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth, Shaftesbury and Bridport. The accommodation is the perfect place for a week’s getaway.
The Stables is in a lovely setting and the accommodation is excellent with everything needed for a comfortable stay.
The host is very helpful and friendly.
The area nearby is excellent for walking and this part of Dorset is really nice.
Highly recommended.
We loved the welcome , friendly and helpful conversation with Paul. Our exploration in sunny weather was rewarding , and the delightful garden was a leafy, tranquil retreat. Best visit ; the Walled Garden. Worst moment; discovering it cost 14 to park the car at Lulworth Cove after the first hour! … And I loved my early morning runs exploring the paths of the Heath.

Great place to stay
Very well equipped and in a quiet location, perfectly situated for visiting all parts of Dorset. Carole and Mick have made the property very homely and welcoming. Thank you for your hospitality!
We really enjoyed our stay, the accommodation was really well equipped and homely, well kept and with great, welcoming hosts. The Stables was central to all of Dorsets amazing beaches and scenery and for us it made a great holiday. We would definitely recommend and return!
Cofortable accomodation. Well equiped kitchen. Very friendly and helpful owners.
Walk out of the garden staight onto the heathland nature reserve (dartford warblers)
Even heard nightjars from the garden.
A very relaxing stay in a lovely county style property. A great outlook into the beautiful garden. Property in easy reach of many attractions, including the very pretty Lulworth Cove. Our Host was very friendly and welcoming.
Our host, Paul was very helpful. There are many places to visit that are close by. Several interesting walks on the door step. Thank you for the warm welcome.

Peace and Tranquillity.
Excellent accommodation and well equipped cottage in a beautiful setting. Carol and Mick the owners give a great welcome and have a wonderful outlook on life. The word idyllic is often used in exaggeration but in this case the word idyllic is fitting and we would have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone.
The hosts were friendly, available and helpful with lots of tips on places to visit. The Stables were clean, well equipped and comfortable.
We had walks on our doorstep and plenty of interesting places to visit including the world’s only scanners which is a site to behold.
We would definitely book again if in the area.
Thanks Paul and Rob.
Very well stocked kitchen, normally we have to bring almost everything. The room is great and the garden area is almost as great. Only problem we had was drying the bath towels. Could do with some sort of cheap retractible washing line? Other than that the place was fine.
We stayed for a week last year and decided that two weeks would provide an opportunity to really explore the surrounding countryside and nearby coast.
We returned to this property as it is ideal for this in addition to having itself a lovely garden and environment. The host lives nearby and is extremely helpful and approachable.
I cannot recommend too highly this property if you are looking for a nice retreat away from the city. The property has everything you would need. Wool is just down the road and has a large Spa convenience shop and there are numerous pubs/restaurants around. The host will update you as to the " better ones " .
Although compact, very clean & comfortable. Everything you could possibly need for a wonderful relaxing stay.
Beautiful gardens, lots of wildlife to keep us amused. Hedgehogs, squirrels & a wide variety of birds visit the garden at the Stables.
Paul , the host made us very welcome , he is a perfect host , very discreet , but available if you need anything .
He invited us to look around his private garden , we were really impressed , it is stunning , well cared for , also it's a magnet for a wide variety of wildlife .
The Stables is well located for visiting nearby popular attractions , Monkey world , the tank museum , the breathtaking Jurrasic coast & Weymouth are a very short drive away.
Lovely walks around the property too.
Thank you to Rob & Jones the cat for allowing us to wander around your private space .
We would be happy to visit again.
We had a lovely time on our stay in this cosy and beautifully clean property all was as described, and the milk, tea and cookies were a lovely touch. The booking in process was really easy and Paul was a good host. The garden is nicely kept and a paradise if you like birdwatching and the beautiful local surrounding area makes this a wonderful place to stay. We would definately recommend
Very easy booking and checking in process. Cottage very cosy. Lovely garden. Lots to do nearby but location itself very quiet which was lovely. Will definitely go back if we visit Dorset again.
The accommodation was excellent. Well furnished and comfortable. Ideally located in a good position close to Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove and central to the numerous other places of interest. The owner, Paul, was friendly and helpful.
Great place to stay for up to 4 people. Lovely ensuite bedrooms, good sitting room with a great telly. Great WiFi, good kitchen. With some lovely local walks. Very near to some excellent historic countryside.
