  • "When we booked our stay we were looking for a quiet place to chill for a week after a very busy summer."

    We also wanted to get away from November 5th celebrations which are intense where we live and seriously upsets our dog. The tranquility of "The Coach House" was perfect for this! We loved the layout and found it comfortably spacious for the two of us. We found the furnishing and decoration charming. We explored many of the footpaths in the immediate area and all were in good condition. We intend to book again.

    So pleased you enjoyed your stay and many thanks for the generous feedback. You are most welcome to return any time! Chris & Pru Property Owner

  • "Glorious weather whole week, friendly and considerate owners."

    The comfortable accommodation has many thoughtful unexpected welcome touches and safe environment for our dog. Convenient parking. The location is ideal for trips inland e.g. Sherborne with fabulous Abbey (dog friendly) and museum, or to Hardy 'land' and further to Jurassic coast area. Scenery delightful and roads clear with easy passage, if narrow at times on side roads. Highly recommended.

    The cottage was great. We loved the retro style and attention to detail that Chris and Pru had done. Very well equipped and the enclosed garden ideal for our dog.

  • "We had a very lovely stay."

    The converted coach house was beautifully designed, comfortable and very well equipped, right down to the dog bowls! Our old dog loved the box of treats left for her as did we - the welcome hamper for the humans was so carefully presented and it was very useful to be told in advance that we would have milk and bread. The home made jam , local beer, g&t and lovely little dish of butter etc were added delights which made us feel very welcome! The hosts were excellent- helpful, kind and charming. We would certainly recommend this to anyone who loves peace and quiet, beautiful countryside , near interesting places . The New Inn and Giant pubs in Cerne Abbas are well worth a visit.

    It was a pleasure and a privilege to host such charming guests and as ever the reward is playing a small part in creating some happy memories. Property Owner

  • "Loved this place and would certainly return."

    The cottage is long and thin but there’s excellent use of space, especially in the kitchen area. There are multiple areas to sit and relax, work, read or eat all near windows, good light and heating. The kitchen is very well laid out and equipped for a small space and has a good sized freezer plus small dishwasher and oven. There is a good range of cooking and baking equipment and utensils, crockery and glassware. The décor is eclectic, furnishings hugely comfortable, there’s good hot water, towels, bed and bedding, lots of windows and natural light plus modern touches such as mood lighting, plenty of sockets and even USB ports. The friendly owners are nearby if you need them but otherwise leave you to your own devices. We were welcomed by a lovely basket of goodies that would have been plenty for a dinner, breakfast and even a lunch before getting to the shops. There is good heating throughout and a washer and a dryer are available for an extra charge if needed. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.

    A pleasure to have met you both and I do wish you well for the remainder of your journey. Welcome back any time! Property Owner
