We had a lovely weekend in this cottage, and especially loved the large room with two sofas and big dining table, able to relax at all times. We got a few days of walking and relaxing, this is a great place to wind down. The local pubs are great too, not to mention the scenery and Dorset Apple Cake! We'd love to come back sometime.

Great house every thing we needed was there. Location was lovely 10 mins from the lulworth cove we didn't realise we were about 5 mins from the army tank training barracks so every now and then you would here gun fire witch I realy loved you couldn't hear it in the house tho. Parking was OK but some people would struggle to park a car in the garageRead more because it's so small. Hide
