Excellent holiday In beautiful location and very well appointed house!

Just returned from our first stay at this property - and will definitely be returning! The views were amazing, very peaceful, great base to explore the surrounding areas, and the owners have done a great job in the design and layout of the properties as well as thinking of everything you need within the house to enjoy your holiday. Hot tub was an added bonus. Great local pub for food within short walk across the fields too.

A fantastic chilled weekend

The Bracken was modern, comfortable and clean and an ideal place for a getaway with friends. The view was fantastic! The Fox inn is a lovely pub with good food, so a meal or two recommended. It is quite rural so you do need to drive to get anyway but as long as you know that, it isn’t really a problem. Many good locations are only 30 mins drive away. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Hidden gem

Three modern eco properties in a semi isolated location, with amazing views. Tucked away at the end in a country lane, with access to a local pub and shop a mile away. Properties are well equipped and kitchen is particularly well appointed with granite work tops and a Neff oven and hob. All three bedrooms are on the smaller side (but still adequate) but this does allow for generous living accommodation, and all three bedrooms have en-suites. The log burner was also a welcome addition. The wood fired hot tub is excellent, it takes a while to heat up, but once hot enough we spent hours in there. The owners have a large supply of logs, so we didn’t run out. There is very little light pollution so if you get clear skies it is good to sit in the tub and star gaze. The view from the ample garden is breathtaking. Access to the excellent local pub is a mile away down a quiet country lane with a short cut across fields at the end. We went in November and the lane was muddy and flooded in places, but still passable, so take wellies! The local shop is well stocked and the frozen curries they sold were particularly good. We think these properties are excellent value and we were surprised with the quality and views.

Tranquil

The lodge was as described and had everything we needed. It was located in such a peaceful location, the only noise being that of the cows in the field. Lovely break.

A first class property

The fotos on the hideaway site do not do the property justice.A spotless well organised chalet with a great deal of thought put into it for the benefit of the consumer.Regrettably we had to leave early due to sickness,but will be back!

A Dorset gem

We wanted a much needed break with our family and found this lovely accommodation. The lodge (one of three on the site) was well separated from the others with high banks covered in wild flowers and excellent outside space ensuring privacy. The view from the patio was stunning and we had very good weather which always helps. Inside the lodge was larger than we expected with a spacious kitchen area, comfortable seating around the log stove and good dining area, all open plan. The three bedrooms each with ensuite were very comfortable with good quality linen. The build quality of the lodges was very high and the effect overall was of a really comfortable place to stay. The hot tub was popular and worked well although it took a few hours to fully heat up so plan that in. All wood and kindling was supplied and the owners had also left a generous welcome pack of tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits. The location is very quiet which was exactly what we wanted and the nearby pub served a good choice of meals. It does take a while to drive along the narrow lanes to the lodges but we got used to being careful and generally the traffic was very light. Lots of things to do and see in the area and we will look to return again.

5 star all the way

This holiday home is heaven !!! The property is brand new with every detail covered to the highest level , the hot tub , the panoramic views and the peace and quiet is unbelievable . The Owners are extremely helpful and they have provided so much to start your holiday with ease A car is a must and I would suggest taking a food shop with you ( but there is a small shop Vin the village ) then you can just sit and enjoy a very laid back break , we can’t wait to return
