House was very welcoming, spacious & made you instantly feel relaxed. Good central location to discover western Dorset. Great little bakery 5 doors down & friendly village shop.
Skelton, Sutton, February 2013
Excellent standard of cottage and spaciousness of the rooms. We were very impressed with the owners thoughtfulness, leaving milk and local cakes. The owner also phoned to check that all was well in the cottage.
