"We had a lovely week’s stay at the Old School Room."
Well equipped cottage in the heart of the Dorset countryside, conveniently situated next to a quiet country lane gives easy access to the surrounding area and next to the footpath that leads to the local village. The outside patio is a lovely sun trap in the afternoons, would definitely stay here again.

"This was a lovely upside cottage."
Only problem with having the bedroom on the ground floor next to the road was that every morning about 6.15 to 6.30 a car raced by and woke up up. Also good idea to take fly spray as we got bitten quite badly.

"The cottage was very clean and our host were very welcoming and friendly."
The cottage was in the country and very quiet at night. There were footpaths on our doorstep and others around the area, which we enjoyed walking and exploring. We like cycling and cycle route 26 passes by the cottage which we took advantage of. It was a very relaxing time.

"Overall we found the Old School House comfortable and the owner was friendly and welcoming."
We did however find the noise from the very busy road right in front of the cottage disturbing. There are no amenities close by and it is very isolated.

"Bedroom downstairs and lorrys whizzed past directly outside also found it risky when leaving the property as you emerged between two stone buildings."
The farm does not have livestock anymore so there was no noise from farm itself. Only took about 30 minutes by car to the coast or local places of interest . Cottage was well equipped and clean.

"Our host, Mrs Ridout could not have done any more to make our holiday a success."
She even had one of the farm lads pump up our car tyre that was looking a bit low. The cottage was well equipped and spotlessly clean, and very comfortable.

"The cottage was comfortable, clean and in a great location for a varied week of exploring the local countryside and wider Dorset area, and perfect for recovering from a busy work life."
The cottage is well equipped, clean and is generally blissfully quiet, and the welcome pack was indeed very welcome!
Re feedback, and this may well be to do with time of year - an occasional smell from the farm was detectable, but that is to be expected on a working farm. Within the cottage, if one was to be somewhat picky, I thought the two sofas could do with being renewed, the bathroom extractor fan was not working during our visit, and I missed having a larger frying pan to cook with than those provided. I like the fact that the cottage was pet friendly, though we did not have one with us. I also thought the walk from the cottage to Evershot could be mapped out and provided to guests, as it took us a while to work it out and several others commented in the guest book that they were defeated.
The walks from the cottage to Evershot and Halstock were lovely, and from the cottage we drove easily to Bridport, Cerne Abbas, Sherborne, Dorchester, West Bay, Lulworth Cove, Tyneham and Studland beach, taking in a variety of 5-9 mile walks, museums, parks, sites and beaches. All totally worth a visit!
All in all a very lovely week was had. Thank you.
