Excellent property exceptionally well presented.
We spent 4 nights here and couldn't have been happier. The property is ideal for a stay like ours and we would return again. It is well located in Shaftesbury off the main street but close to the town centre. The hosts live in the attached house and are both accessible and friendly. The place has all required utensils all of a high quality. Cleanliness was exceptional.

Clean and comfortable
We were visiting the Great Dorset Steam Fair and this was a reasonable 30 mins away from the site. It gave us the flexibility to visit the town of Shaftesbury as well. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and the location was quiet. Good provision of some essentials like milk and a bottle of wine! Thank you!
