About the host
Hosted by Mark Butcher

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.
Why they chose this property
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.
What makes this property unique
Both of our cottages are decorated and furnished to a high standard with very comfortable beds. Each have their own private hot tub and despite being very dog friendly the highest standards of cleaning are maintained.
