My wife and I moved to Dorset in 2004 to escape the rat race. Karen who came from a busy secretarial background in London, now works part time for the NHS and I continue to run a small architectural practice. We both love running our two holiday lets and welcoming guests to this lovely area.

West Dorset is fantastic area with beautiful countryside and a fantastic coast line. There is so much to do and see, after 20 years we are still finding new places to visit.
