  • "Pro's: 2, Heath Cottages is a lovely house in a fabulous spot, perfect for dog owners as the Heath, with miles of walks, is just through a gate in the back garden."

    Facilities excellent for 6 and would be fine for 8: 4 en suite bedrooms with comfortable beds, a big table in the conservatory, deep squishy armchairs and sofas in the sitting room. The kitchen is well equipped with large appliances: cooker, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. The whole area is packed with things to do: we recommend Kingston Lacy and Brownsea Island, both NT. For a super lunch, The Barn Café at Lytchett Matravers is unbeatable. Con's: the large appliances in the kitchen are excellent: not so the crockery and cutlery. The crockery is a random selection and on the skimpy side with very few complete sets of anything. The cutlery is old, battered and unhygienic, being the sort with separate handles attached by a wobbly and unsatisfactory joint. When almost everything else at 2, Heath Cottages is of such a high standard, it really lets the place down to have such poor quality cutlery.
