It was pefectly located for all we wanted to do. It was lovely to chill in the light and airy kitchen with a pot of tea in the mornings. Warm and cosy in the lounge in the evening, once you warmed your spot on the leather couches. The garden space is lovely for sitting out.....we were very blessed with the weather. All the beds are very comfortable. A real home from home....we are already planning our next visit

For example we drove to Portland in no time at all. We tried out the local pub and were very taken with it - a place for a pint and a chat. The interior design is very stylish. We especially enjoyed the various drawings and prints. The plantation blinds were appreciated. The free wi-fi was great. The parking space at the back of the property was handy. We could not spot the “dangerous decking” and wonder what the fuss was all about. The kitchen was well stocked with all the various kitchen utensils and crockery you might ever wish for. If I might be point out some niggles: The sofas in the sitting room though undoubtedly expensive were very low to the ground and oversized. I am 6 foot and in good health but even I had trouble getting up from them. The sitting room also needed some directional lighting ie it was very difficult to get enough light to read. The mantelpiece was aching to have a clock on it and the fireplace could do with a fire – an electric one would do – to give it some focus. There was also the same problem of a lack of reading lights in all the bedrooms. The shower off the main bedroom was underpowered. This is a shame as the one in the bathroom is first-rate.

The art works in the house were a very pleasant surprise. I discovered that some of these had been the work of the owner and this was delightful. The house was well equipped and very nicely presented. It was a very handy base staying there as the location makes for easy access to Dorchester town centre. The facilities were excellent with every modern convenience. Stayed July 2018

About the location

DORCHESTER

Weymouth 7 miles.

A trip to Dorset is not complete without visiting the market town of Dorchester, with its Roman roads, museums and a wide selection of pubs and restaurants. Enjoy a scenic walk around Maiden Castle, the largest hillfort in England, or visit the County Museum which has a room devoted to Thomas Hardy, born just two miles away in Bockhampton. Just seven miles away are the glorious gently shelving beaches and picturesque harbour of Weymouth, and the rugged peninsula of Portland, linked to the mainland by Chesil Beach, part of the breathtaking World Heritage Coastline. In fact, you’ll find yourself so intoxicated by Dorset’s magic spell, you won’t want to return home at the end of your stay!
