Very nice cottage in a great location. Peaceful, comfortable and plenty of space. Great walks in the area, including down to the coast path straight from the accommodation. Nearby pub friendly staff and great beer; the food was ok but not brilliant.

We had a lovely long weekend at Fair Cottage, the cottage had everything we needed, comfy beds, showers good. Lovely village with great pub, The Sailors Return. Bonus of field at the back for dogs to run in. Close to the coast so great for exploring, we had the bonus of some lovely weather, very enjoyable stay.

Had such a wonderful week we extended for 3 more days! Fair cottage is a charming home set in beautiful surroundings. The property has everything you need and plenty of space. Lots of nooks to find a comfortable place to sit and relax. The snug with desk was really useful as I was able to do some remote working. WiFi was good but a bit hit and missRead more upstairs. Tom and Heidi at Dorset Home were always on hand to sort out any issues. Garden is delightful. Love the community allotment next door! Hide

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. Party of 6- plenty of space around the house for entertainment. Convenient area- only a short drive away from Durdle Dor and Lulworth Cove. Amazing garden space, which would have been lovely to use if the weather was slightly less wet and cold! We will definitely be booking again!

We enjoyed our stay - 6 people and a dog. The cottage had spacious accommodation, easily sufficient for our needs, and was well equipped for a short break. Location is excellent. We enjoyed the off road walk to Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove. The Sailor's Return pub provided excellent Sunday roasts.

Brilliant, well equipped cottage, everything you need for a restful stay. Loved the nooks and crannies which meant you could always find a quiet spot to read or relax. Very comfortable beds, small double room is quite small for 2 adults though plenty of storage. Lovely to have 2nd shower downstairs. We were 5 adults and a 4 year old, great selectioRead moren of books (and toys ) for all. Beautiful village location and easy access to Jurassic coastline. Loved it.

A lovely cottage in a lovely rural location, a short drive to Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove and other places of interest so plenty to see and do in the area. A dog friendly pub just down the road too and plenty more in the area. The garden backs onto an enclosed field where children and dogs can play and have a run around. The biscuits, tea and coffeeRead more and ice cream left for us were a nice welcoming touch too. Hide

Great cottage in a stunning location. The village has an excellent restaurant & is conveniently located near Lulworth, Corfe castle and Weymouth. The cottage was very clean and has everything you might need for your stay. The beds were very comfortable and the linen of high quality. Having two showers meant no queuing for the bathroom in the morninRead moregs. A small playing field, 'God's pocket', out of the back gate was great for our dogs and the neighbours and villagers were very friendly. Hide
