Mrs Salmon September 2020

“Little acre was a lovely little retreat to return to after each day out exploring the Dorset coast.”

The accommodation was spotless, well equipped and furnished to a lovely standard with lovely views of the garden. Whilst in a peaceful location which was what we had wanted , local amenities and the train station in the village offered everything to make our holiday perfect. We look forward to another holiday in Little Acre next year.

Mrs Ireland July 2020

“We received a very warm welcome from Lyn, the owner.”

There was s lovely welcome pack waiting for us. The accommodation itself was perfect. Absolutely spotlessly clean and with all we needed for our holiday. A real ‘ home from home’. The patio was used most evenings after exploring the surrounding areas. Little Acres is an ideal base to get around Dorset. We used car, bicycles and train ( station just 5 minutes away). Very comfortable bed and lovely quiet location. We booked this at fairly short notice due To cancelling our overseas holiday during Covid19 - but we will definitely be returning. Five stars ⭐️ all round.

“We had a great time at Little Acre, everything we needed and very comfortable.”

- Mrs Hudson, August 2019
Mrs Coates August 2019

“A lovely place to stay.”

We were welcomed by the owner and found everything to be as stated. The accommodation was well appointed and clean and we were able to use the garden which was great as we had our dog with us. Lovely and central for the Jurassic Coast too. Five stars all round! The weather was fantastic and we visited many places on the coast including West Bay and Bridport and used the steam train to Swanage and then enjoyed the pier. No roadworks, hardly a traffic jam and clean towns and seaside. Give Dorset a go!

- Mrs Coates, August 2019
Mrs Cromwell July 2019

“Lyn and Dale were friendly and helpful.”

Despite that fact that we have visited family in the area over the last 40years, Dale told us about some hidden gems we had not visited. The cottage was perfect, with everything you might need to hand. It is central to lots of the local attractions. The cottage is in a tranquil situation, though not far from the village, and the garden is beautiful. We would not hesitate to book this cottage in the future.

- Mrs Cromwell, July 2019
Mr Bates July 2019

“Little Acre in Wool is a very comfortable base for a couple to explore Dorset.”

The garden is beautiful and a great place to sit out for breakfast. Wool is on the main Weymouth to Waterloo rail line and there are local buses that take you to the coast, so you can beat the traffic stress! The tank museum is within walking distance and is an excellent museum even if you are not military minded.

- Mr Bates, July 2019

The cottage is compact but provides plenty of high quality room for two people. It is spotlessly clean, well equipped, has a comfortable bed and a sitting room with access to a splendid garden.

Mr Scott

“Over the past few years we have stayed at quite a few cottages up and down the country.”

Quite a few shockers may I add... This place was by far the best. Great accommodation, Great owner, perfect quiet location. Cannot fault it. One day we even stuck some washing out as we looked at the BBC weather forecast (fatal - guaranteed to be wrong). Came home to a line full dripping wet through. Next thing. Owner knocking at the door with some dry stuff. What more can you say. Even though it's a right hike to get there. We would return. Stayed May 2018

- Mr Scott,
Mrs Kate Davis
