The cottage was as we expected. Genuily vintage and cosy with all the confort to relax.Well located, close the the lovely village of Shaftesbury as well as short distance to the Jurrassic Coast.Mandy was very welcoming.Everything was easy to find in the cottage. We enjoyed cooking in the evening and stay by the fireplace.We wish we could have stayed longer.
