We had an excellent holiday here. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The grandkids enjoyed the tyre swing and toys and especially feeding the pigs and goat. Jeannette and her family also went out of their way to make Halloween special for our granddaughter. The accommodation is superb with everything you would need and it is only a 10min drive into Sherborne.
The house was a pleasure to stay in for a family occasion in the area. Very well designed, good decor, comfortable, clean with a well equipped kitchen. The host was helpful and efficient.
A bar of soap in each bathroom would have been welcome! Otherwise a lovely place. Caroline

Lovely cottage: a well thought out and sympathetically converted farm building.
Lovely cottage: a well thought out and sympathetically converted farm building. We were a family of 5 so had acres of space but it would be ideal for 4 couples ... when that's allowed again :( The view from the upstairs kitchen/lounge of the sun setting behind the grazing sheep had us rushing back from our day trips to enjoy with a drink and some dramatic music! And the owners were delightful. We will almost certainly return - we would have done so with friends at New Year but they have dogs and sadly - though understandably - there's a no-dog policy (don't try it on - they do enforce it!)

The Cottage provides excellent accommodation with 3 bathrooms, large comfy beds, fabulous views and everything you need. Quirky upside down rooms but it really works for a family stay. Lovely garden and Patio area with bbq. There was nothing missing and we really had an enjoyable family gathering. Loved sitting on cushions in the window overlooking the farm in the late evening sun. Binoculars provided too! Our hosts were so very helpful and welcoming. Hope to visit again, memories made at Wriggle View Cottage August 2019. Highly recommend.
