Lovely cottage in a great location

We had a great week in Bluebell cottage, the house is very comfortable and the garden and surrounding grounds are lovely. My children really enjoyed the play area and our dog was very happy having some friends to play with and being able to run around (particularly when the rabbits were out!). The cottages are set back from the main road so it is lovely and quiet and you can join the River Brit footpath easily which goes in both directions. We will happily stay here again!

Perfect Stay

We had a great four-night stay in Bluebell Cottage which worked perfectly for us with two kids and a dog. Having a good size secure private garden in addition to the large communal garden works so well and the setting is great. Lisa is also very welcoming and friendly…the only shame was we couldn’t stay for longer.

Lovely relaxing retreat

A lovely cottage in a great setting - so peaceful and perfect for our little dog. It’s a good base for the coast and lots of other activities. Thanks to Lisa for the local top tips and making us feel so welcome. We will be back!

A welcome birthday break

We stayed her for a long weekend to celebrate my wife's birthday. The location is great, not far from beaches and some very attractive Dorset countryside, and there are extensive grounds to explore on the property. The cottage is cosy but sleeps 5 and quiet with all you need for a few days away.
