“Almost but not quite living up to expectation!”
The Coach House is well situated for exploring central Dorset and has a real wow factor when you walk through the door - large open plan living area, well designed kitchen and a separate dining area. On the whole the property is clean, well maintained and appointed (apart from some chipped crockery) and there are more saucepans than you could possibly need. A pleasant garden with table and chairs is a nice relaxing space to sit on a fine evening. However upstairs is something of a disappointment. The double room is fine, plenty of space in both the bedroom and the en-suite, but then the twin bedroom is a real let down. It is pokey (you have to move one of the beds to get into the wardrobe) with very little hanging space and no drawers, just shelving. As for the en-suite this is not designed for adults unless you are a contortionist. Head room is limited and designed for anyone over 5 ft. So remember your paracetamol for headaches!! This was a property which we liked, but would not return to, basically because sleeping spaces were not as comfortable as we would have wished for.
