The Sawmill

The Sawmill was utterly divine!

Gorgeous design, energy and comfort. Hosts Keith and Jill were absolutely wonderful; a delight to meet, incredibly kind and helpful and a joy to spend time with. The Sawmill is in the perfect location. A sweet village is merely a whisper away whilst a myriad of beaches, walks, cliffs, towns, beautiful venues and more are all within easy reach. I fully maximised my experience of Dorset and explored a vast array of venues and locations. I would go back in a heartbeat if I could! I couldn't have enjoyed my time there any more! It magical! I highly recommend staying there.. If you do go, having read this recommendation, please can you take me with you!

Sawmill and the location are picture postcard perfect.

The owners, Jill and Keith, are absolutely lovely. Beaminster is a quintessential picturesque Old English town. The town square with a few independent shops and pubs is only a 10 minute walk along the river bank. The location is an ideal base for exploring the Jurassic Coast and surrounding villages and walks.

We had a fabulous short break staying in the beautiful Sawmill Cottage.

Literally miles of walking right outside the door, plus conveniently placed for so many other great places to visit. Accommodation was exactly as advertised. Small, quirky, but beautifully formed and exactly what we were hoping for and more. Would 100% recommend.

A lovely place in a stunning setting perfect for a short break for 2.

We had a great time. Just beware of the reduced head height in the bedroom. I hit my head numerous times!

As described, characterful cottage, comfortable and well equipped.

Great log burner. Great for dog walks. Lovely garden. Take note of warnings re: head height upstairs (we are about 5’7’’ and just managed ok).

We had a wonderful week at the quirky Sawmill.

Keith and Gill were very welcoming. The cottage is magical and we loved all the features. The lighting inside and in the garden is so well thought out and makes everything feel cozy. We loved coming home from our long walks, right from the doorstep, and making a fire. Sit and relax. The garden seat by the river is a real sun trap for reading a book. Cottage is very clean and has everything you need. Thank you Keith and Gill we will be back.

We had the most wonderful little break at the Sawmill.

The owners were very welcoming and it was great to know they were nearby incase of queries. The cottage was fantastic with lots of quirky features. Well maintained, clean and cosy. There were ample country literally on the doorstep and the town centre was a 5 minute walk. Everywhere seemed to be dog friendly and even the local book shop invited our pooch inside! We would not hesitate to return and hope to do so!

Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We very much enjoyed the cottage and the beautiful surroundings. The walks are amazing, we had the kingfisher stop outside the window and the cider farm nearby is a bonus. Apart from a few head bangs upstairs (inevitable) our stay was very comfortable and relaxing which is just what we needed. There is one floorboard nail we kept treading on near the post in the kitchen (bathroom end) which probably needs tapping in a bit. Will definitely look to come back, a few days is not long enough! Thanks again. Chris, Steph and Luna

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sawmill.

Our hosts were great and very helpful, and being able to walk miles straight from the cottage was a treat. Well equipped and comfortable, with a lovely private garden, the Sawmill is definitely on our Return To list!

It is a lovely and quirky place to stay.

It is homely and perfect for dog walks straight from the cottage, but also close to the coast for further, fabulous walks . The garden is enclosed and beautiful and if you just want to relax, I 100% recommend staying here.

Brilliant combination of character and convenience with perfect support from owners.

Lovely cottage and perfect for winter dog walks.

Very quirky and exactly as described.

Loved The Sawmill

We had an amazing stay at your wonderful property and felt warmly welcomed.

The location that was a perfect base for us to explore the surrounding area and it was great to have local walks right on our doorstep. We had everything we needed and particularly enjoyed relaxing in front of the woodburner after our adventures and long walks. We were delighted to have a good selection of local shops and many excellent dining options within easy walking distance. Thank you for helping make our holiday so enjoyable and relaxing.

What a wonderful cottage.

It’s all as advertised and more. We only had a weekend stay but have already booked for a week next year. A really magical feeling walking through the front door. Probably the most memorable cottage we have stayed in.

Cracking week at the Sawmill.

Owner very friendly and always on hand if needed. Very quirky but everything you could need fitted in a well thought out manner. Lovely small enclosed garden for the dog to roam without worry of escape and 2 minute walk to open exercise area and local walks. 2 minute walk into Beaminster with its array of pubs and eateries and a shop to satisfy all your needs. We will be back despite the extremely wet weather !

We had such a lovely stay at The Sawmill.

The property is quirky and secluded but set close to amenities, which was exactly the balance we were looking for. Beaminster is a great base as you have a choice of cafes, boutique and food shops in stunning surroundings. The coast is just a short drive if you want a bit of beach time. The hosts were fantastic too, there but not there in just the right measure. Thanks for a lovely relaxing holiday.

Wonderful week at the Sawmill.

Fabulous accommodation, quirky and so well appointed, loved spending time reading and chilling. But the great walks with the dog right from the front door draws you outdoors. Would not think twice about returning.

2nd time staying and it was even better than the first time as we had good weather.

We and our dogs just love the Sawmill and the surrounding area. Sue, Andy, Jimbo & Robyn

This is our second visit to the Saw Mill and we have thoroughly enjoyed both holidays.

It is ideally situated in the village for all amenities ( shops, bakers, butchers, pubs )within walking distance. Local walks on the doorstep and the coast a short drive away. Many places to visit if the weather is not so good but the accomodation is so lovely its tempting to just stay in. A lovely courtyard to sit in too. We would love to visit again.

wonderful quirky property, will stay again.

only small niggle - bath towels on the small side and only 1 hand towel and tea towel. fire was lit waiting for us, lovely welcoming atmosphere

We had a cosy stay in this delightful Sawmill with the stream running all a round it in the lovely village of Beaminster.

It had everything and more to make our stay wonderful. Well equipped kitchen and facilities. The garden was a surprise with several seating areas! The owners couldn't have been more helpful, supplying us with logs etc when needed. The wood burning stove was the highlight along with everything else. A wonderful find.

Thank you we had a lovely time.

Very lovely cottage. Will definitely be returning

THE SAWMILL HAD EVERYTHING WE NEEDED TO A HIGH STANDARD AND WAS BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED AND CLEAN.

THE SURROUNDINGS WERE A BONUS TOO WITH TWO YOUNG DOGS TO RUN OFF LEAD LITERALLY ON THE DOORSTEP. SO ALTHOUGH WE HAD BAD WEATHER FOR JULY WE HAD A GREAT TIME RELAXING IN THE COTTAGE LISTENING TO THE STREAM. WE MET KEITH AND JILL ON OUR WALK WITH THEIR DOG CEDRIC(ADORABLE) AND WERE VERY PLEASANT. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO YOU BOTH . WILL RECOMMEND HIGHLY .

Absolutely unique and beautiful property.

The owners were friendly and helpful The sawmill provided a perfect relaxing get away in a beautiful little village Will definitely be booking again and have recommended to our friends and family

Property was very nice, well equipped and clean with a good garden to sit in.

Friendly host who was very knowledgeable about the area. Property was quirky and this was part of its charm but the only downside for us was stairs and low ceiling height in bedroom as we did hit our heads a number of times but this was clearly detailed in property description.

Amazing.

A great little place to stay. Very clean and comfortable. A lovely warm fire had been lite for our arrival. Would highly recommend.

We've just returned from a wonderful stay at the Sawmill, the property is beautiful, well equipped and well located - the stream beneath the cottage and the fields to the rear were great for the dog!

Keith and Jill were lovely and made us feel very welcome. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area.

A lovely, interesting property.

Great walks from just outside the door and lots of fantastic beaches and towns within close proximity. Pleasant, helpful owners too.

A beautiful property- lovely location, well designed, fully equipped and very quirky!

comfortable, quaint, well kitted out, small but delightful garden, interesting construction between the junction of two streams, beautiful countryside right outside the door
