“Lyn was lovely and friendly and went above and beyond with all the little extras that she includes as part of your stay, it really does make it feel home from home.”

We had a lovely week staying here and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Little Acre!

Mrs Hudson August 2019

“We had a great time at Little Acre, everything we needed and very comfortable.”
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 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.
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 Preece June 2019

“Little Acre was peaceful, comfortable and homely.”

Very relaxing. Wool is ideally situated for visiting all parts of Dorset.
Mrs Collison May 2019

“We were very pleased with our holiday at Little Acre.”

Very central location to explore Dorset & we were fortunate to have fine sunny week. Our first visit to Dorset was very impressive & enjoyable.
Mr Hartwell May 2019

“Had a great week at Little Acre, Lyn made us most welcome.”

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
Mrs Kate Davis

“Very comfortable with a lovely garden to look out on.”

Everything you might need was included and I would definitely recommend this property. Stayed May 2018

It is set in a quiet garden location . It is well equipped and there are good instructions for use. There are not many one bedroom properties for holiday rental, and this is a nice one. Stayed July 2018.
Mrs Angel Gibbs

“Lyn made us feel very welcome at Little Acre.”

We could not fault this accommodation, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We very much enjoyed our stay and the beautiful garden that we were able to use if we wanted to.
