Excellent Accommodation For a Getaway

We had a comfortable stay. The property was spotlessly clean & the owner had left us a lovely welcoming basket. We would definitely recommend it as a base for exploring the area.

Lovely stay

Small cottage but perfect for short stay Very close to harbour and Upton country park which was ideal with dog. Clean with a nice welcome pack Area is nice and quiet Only small issue is that you can’t open a back door (only had a front door) and let dog out. Mine has tendency to run off so needed to put him on lead each time he wanted to go out

Hello Marc, lovely to hear that you had a great stay & thank you for the kind review....We'll seriously now have to consider whether we disassemble, then rebuild the house in order to install a back door but it may be slightly cheaper for you to have your dog trained, so as not to run off 🤣🤣 Have a lovely Summer ☀️☀️ Kindest regards

Scott is an amazing host texting prepared a lovely welcoming pack and had milk in the fridge for a well deserved cuppa when we arrived there is also a folder with local information and operating instructions for TV with a couple of local takeaways which we found very handy.The house was spotlessly clean and tidy nicely decorated fresh towels laid out ready and all you need in the kitchen for you to cook what you buy from local shops.The dog feeding bowls came in very handy saved us using our travel bowls.The area to front of the house down side path is excellent for dog walking.Scott and Mary are on hand if you need anything and we will definitely book with them again.

September Break

The property was very clean and tidy when we arrived. The hosts left us a nice welcome pack as well. The kitchen was well equipped with everythung we needed. The bed was very comfy and the shower was powerful. We took our dog with us, and there was plenty of open space for a morning and evening walk. All the local dog walkers were very friendly. If we were staying in this area again, we would definitely see if the house was available.

Poole break

Absolutely five star. So clean and fresh. Right on the doorstep of the nature reserve with a choice of several walks for the dog. A lovely neighbourhood too. Wish I had stayed longer.
