A very good well-appointed property. Easily accessible and exceptionally clean and warm. We had a very comfortable stay at this property with our dog who could be exercised in the easily accessible paddock.

A lovely rest - just what my husband and I needed. We appreciated the space, the ability to "live" on one level with a bedroom, kitchen diner, lounge and two bathrooms on all the ground floor which was great for our particular needs.

What a lovely inviting property, spacious, well equipped and close to many places to visit. The owner had provided everything needed for your arrival tea bags, coffee, milk, eggs and nice bottle of cider which was much appreciated. Although backed onto the main road the traffic noise was barely noticeable. Would definitely recommend this property.

A lovely home from home with everything we could have needed for a comfortable stay. Owners were near by if you needed them but not intrusive. We had two dogs with us and there was no shortage of dog friendly places to visit. Sherborne Castle was just 25 minutes away with beautiful grounds to walk around.
