A great location in a lovely hamlet, easily accessible to north Dorset and somerset. The walks locally were excellent.

The rural location was lovely (ducks outside the property!). Lots of local information at the cottage to give us ideas of places to visit.

The property and surrounding countryside really made you feel like you had escaped from normal daily life.
