This is a holiday to remember with Creaky Cottage as the crown jewel of our time in Dorset. The cottage was clean, beautiful and felt like the location was from another time. The views are to die for outside and are only rivaled by the amazing inside. Beds comfortable, house well stocked, and enough space for our two families. I hope to one day come back!
