What a lovely place to come on holiday! Such a homely comfortable house and so interesting to see everything that the owner has picked up on his travels over the years, especially his extensive book collection. The kitchen was very clean and extremely well stocked - everything a cook could need and more! The beds were comfortable and bedrooms a good size.The best thing was the location though - in a lovely tucked-away village with stunning views from the bottom of the garden and several footpaths to explore. We had a wonderful walk along the River Stour in the beautiful May sunshine!We will definately come back!

The location was perfect for us to get out on multiple day trips. We saw Stonehenge on the way to the property and visited other great spots like the Jurassic Coast, Bath, the Cotswolds and Dunster Castle. Each of these was a 1-2hr drive each way but that didn't bother us, we got to enjoy the scenic countryside. The house itself was perfect. We were able to wash clothes, cook our own meals, and veg out after dinner. The house was a great size for a family of 4. The host provided great info up front and checked in with us before we left, just the right amount of communication.

Relaxing mini break in the countryside
A home from home. Comfortable, peaceful and with everything we needed. We would love to stay again. In a rural location but also close to lots of interesting places with a car.

Fifehead Magdalene
What a lovely home from home. Stanley is a travel writer so the house is full of interesting books and artefacts from all his travels. We loved the quirkiness of the property and the peacefulness of the location. Popped to Stourhead, Sherborne castle and did lots of lovely walks nearby. A thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Amazing stay
Stanley's house was perfect. I cant understand some of the reviews that claim some of the furniture is a bit worn.... the house has charm and has the sense of travelling around the world (which Stanley has) without ever leaving and feeling extremely helpful. Special thanks for the hat from your collection for the wedding i attended (which i returned). Would definitely recommend

Lovely cottage very out of the way.
Lovely stay in a very well loved home, very well lived in home.
Some of the furniture could do with renewing sadly. We slept in single beds as only one double but I think these are more suitable for young children or teenagers
The owner Stanley a travel writer was helpful, and very well accommodating with all questions before our stay and directions.
Our overall stay was good, we used the cottage as a base for days out which suited us.

Home sweet home
We simply love Stanley’s place. Everything was perfect to us : the books, the house nicely decorated, the location (near from shops and beautiful villages), the walks everywhere, the lovely garden. It was the perfect size for the 3 of us.
Stanley provided many wonderful recommandations for pubs, walks, sightseeings.
His neighbors are very friendly.
It’s like visiting a friend’s house with everything you need, and the feeling of being truly welcomed.
We will definitely come back!

Excellent location and ambience
This is the perfect home away from home for relaxation after a day touring the countryside, and we were very grateful to have enjoyed it for two weeks. The owner, Stanley, provided detailed instructions on how to reach it, and in the house is his booklet with details on places to visit nearby, and instructions on how to operate the appliances. Stanley kept in touch with us as our arrival date neared, and answered any questions promptly. The house itself is filled with many interesting books, travel artefacts from around the world, and cozy nooks in which to enjoy them. The kitchen has all the appliances and utensils needed if you like to cook, and we enjoyed good meals there with food from local farm shops. Stanley gave advice about which shops to visit and destinations we told him that we wanted to see. While relaxing in the house, birds in the back garden kept us entertained, and there's a nice view over the downs with a bench on which to enjoy a drink at the end of the day. The location was convenient to reaching the stately homes and quaint towns in the region. All in all, the place added a lot to our enjoyment of the trip.

Wonderful rural home from home
Fifehead Magdalen is a beautiful little hamlet in the Blackmore Vale. Very rural , but close to many attractions in North Dorset and the bordering counties. Good farm shop and convenient petrol station Spar supermarket close by. We especially loved the more unknown Minterne Gardens and Athelhampton House and Gardens.
The cottage is a heaven for book lovers and travel enthusiasts, so we immediately felt at home . As the owner is about the same age as us , we also loved the CD Collection and more than often listened to (e.g.) an old Simon and Garfunkel disc at the large kitchen table with a mug of coffee and lovely morning sunshine.
That said, the living room is a bit dark during the day and the sofa and easy chair were old and lovely but sagging a bit. The cottage has a lovely lived in feeling and was decorated in a travel vibe theme with travel memorabilia , but cluttered (in a good way). So do not expect contemporary uncluttered chic. The cottage was very clean, but wear and tear can be seen. Not a purpose build holiday property but a real home you seem to have been given to stay in for a while by a trusting friend.
Lovely country views from the back part of the back garden (bench) , but not from the patio because the garden shed is blocking the view.
Absolutely great property to immerse yourself for a few days in , to quote from the guest book, “ the library of Dorset”.

Good short holiday.
This is a very personal property full of books and artifacts one might expect given the owner is a travel writer, we loved it. It's a quiet location but a good jumping off point for visits to NT properties and important towns and cities of this area of Dorset. Possibly not a property for toddlers but definitely for adults and slightly older children. Good walks starting from around the cottage, otherwise a car required for visits and entertainment.

Peaceful retreat
We had a good, quiet and undisturbed week in this property. It is very remote and discreet, the views over the rear are fantastic and you literally hear nothing.
The property is lovely, homely and practical. There were plenty of items ready for us to use , tea, coffee, sugar and all the necessary things you are likely to need, just turn up with your clothing.
Stanley also leaves plenty of bird seed and they will entertain you as well, you'll be kept busy keeping the feeders filled.
All in all a homely property in the middle of nowhere, which is what we wanted after the last 18 months of restrictions.
We travelled out a couple of times and Bournemouth, Weymouth, wells, are all within an hour of the property.
We experienced no real issues. Stanley gave us very precise instructions to get there and get in, there's a very concise folder of what's what, both in the area and in the property. Any problems are just a call/message away.
Thankyou very much

Home from home
Our second stay in a peaceful comfortable cottage. we wanted for absolutely nothing. Very well equipped. Well placed to visit the area, a stones throw from the A30, yet incredibly peaceful with beautiful views across the Blackmore Vale. A generous host, really just allowing us to stay in his home, and treat it as ours for a few days!

A unique cottage in a beautiful peaceful location
We only stayed four days but could have stayed for ever! The cottage is full of books and artifacts from the owners travels,so interesting and completely unique. If you can drag yourself away from the cottage it's well situated for exploring both Dorset and Wiltshire with many lovely walks on the doorstep too.

Ländliche Idylle pur
In dem mit viel Liebe und sicherem Kunstgeschmack sehr individuell und wunderschön eingerichtetes Reihenhaus haben wir uns sofort heimisch gefühlt. Bücher und CD-Sammlung vom Feinsten stehen zur Verfügung, im Garten haben wir Äpfel und Birnen vom Baum pflücken dürfen. Küchenutensilien, Bettwäsche, Handtücher – alles ist reichlich vorhanden. Der Emailkontakt mit dem Besitzer war sehr freundlich, er hat uns sogar vergessene Kleidungsstücke umgehend nachgeschickt. Einfach ein Glücksfall!

Lovely place to stay
What an amazing home to have the privilege of staying in. We felt relaxed as soon as we arrived. The owner, Stanley, gave great instructions on how to find the property and how to access it. When it was time to come home, we were reluctant to leave, not only was the cottage beautiful but the surroundings were great as well. Would love to visit the area again and would definitely come back to Stanley's cottage.
