Sturminster Newton
Nice old cottage in historic centre, good location for walking. Friendly town. Nice sized bedrooms. Would have been much nicer IF there has been better welcome pack, and enough dishwasher tablets, bin bags, some toiletries, more loo paper, tea towels, hand towels, oven gloves. Sinks in bathrooms didn't drain very well but after reporting this owner said she couldn't get maintenance person to visit till after we left (2 days later) which was ok as it wasn't urgent just not ideal. We enjoyed our stay in Sturminster Newton.
