Lovely peaceful location

Lovely garden surrounded by countryside with lots of good walks and a very nice pub within easy walking distance. The annexe was extremely well equipped and comfortable and there was extensive information on local attractions. The owners Madelaine and Mark were very friendly and helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed the time that we stayed there.

We aren't sure what 'updates' this guest has in mind; most of our guests are delighted with the decor and furnishings as they are. We aren't in fact all that remote, but the house is located far enough from traffic for peace and quiet that most guests enjoy. Given the guest's other more positive comments and that they enjoyed their stay, '6/10' seems a little harsh. :)

Great Location

Set in isolated rural village with lovely views and walks. Our vist was marred by horrendous wet weather,but we made the best of it. Mark and Madeline were lovely people who made us welcome and dealt with any issues and gave advice about the area.

The accommodation was very cozy and well equipped. My husband and I never appreciated how rural the property was and the very narrow lanes we had to negotiate to get anywhere.

Such friendly and helpful hosts. Beautifully clean. Essential supplies waiting for us on arrival. Lovely decor throughout, sitting room very tasteful and comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need including washing machine and microwave. Spacious, very well kept garden where you can sit and eat outside. Near historic towns and places of interest. River swimming near Sturminster Newton. No noise at night, just the hoot of an owl.

Lovely place to stay

The annexe was very well kitted out with everything you could need, but also included a photo of the late mother in the lounge, and a few cobwebs in the bathroom, possibly missed due to the necessary cleaning of the place after the previous tenants had been there three months. And the settee cushions in the lounge could do with reupholstering with sponge. But overall a lovely place to stay, with visits from Jango the dog, and the very affectionate cat

Sorry about the cobwebs. We thought we had got them all, but our country spiders are quite busy at this time of year. :) We guess that foam cushions are a matter of taste. All the cushions in the Annexe are feather-filled -- and very comfortable -- we have had no complaints up to now. Most guests think that the photo of the original annexe resident (for 25 years) is a nice touch.

Schöner entspannter Aufenthalt

Die Anliegerstraße war sehr holprig. Ansonsten war alles wie beschrieben. Super Standort um die Umgebung zu erkunden. Wir haben uns überwiegend für den national Trust interessiert. Wir haben die Ruhe sehr genossen. Hinzu kommt, dass wir die ganze Zeit tolles Wetter hatten!

Perfect !

Booked this stay last minute around some walking and visiting and it honestly could not have been better. Our hosts were wonderful, warm and welcoming and on hand if we needed them. The property itself was perfect for us with everything we needed - and more we would never have thought of ! We already have plans to return to further explore this beautiful part of the world and will have no hesitation in booking again. Thank you for everything.

Well placed for visitor attractions

Nice little property for two people. Well equipped. Owners friendly and helpful. Well placed for visiting places in Dorset. One suggestion would be a visitor book for people to put recommendations for eating and visiting as many of the leaflets were well out of date.
