Lovely little holiday house! It was perfect for our family as a base to explore the area, short bus ride into Weymouth beach. And nice walk along the old railway on the coast. Cute little garden to eat breakfast in and nice only having neighbours on one side. Suzanne was really easy to communicate with. Thank you for a great stay.

It was very easy (with Google Maps' help) to access and enjoy several National historic sites. This was a great central location to find nature and history in any direction! The cottage itself was perfect, too. My only wish was traveling when it would be a bit warmer to enjoy the backyard!
