“Cottage was lovely.”

Nice touch was the welcome pack of juice and biscuits. Only downside was fridge was under the stairs and there was no light in there so had to use the torch provided to find anything as it was so dark, the other was there was absolutely no where in the bathroom to put toiletries, we had to put things into the bath. Otherwise perfect . Would definitely go there again and use Sykes

“Appreciate that the cottage is an old property but when you have to empty a dehumidifier twice a day and the place smells damp and the sofa in the lounge feels damp and smells of wet dog, it's not what you really want.”

Shower in bathroom was impossible to use as you basically had to climb over the toilet to enter! Just as well there was a bath. The location was good and there was no disturbance from the trains passing at all. Would not book this cottage again.

“Really enjoyed our stay at Pippins .”

We found the cottage delightful , charming and very comfortable . We particularly enjoyed the garden which is south facing , lovely and peaceful in a very quiet area. We had a great view of the lunar eclipse ! We would recommend if you like peace and quiet . We would book again if in this area.

Pippins is perfectly located for country walks and whether you are a birder or twitcher it is idea for bird watching.

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!
