“Colin and Sue, the owners, were ...”

Colin and Sue, the owners, were very friendly and extremely helpful. They had left provisions for us, which meant we didn't have to rush out and buy basic essentials. The garden room was an added bonus. We ate our breakfast overlooking the garden every day. We did experience a problem with the wi fi signal, which was very weak and difficult to connect to. I mentioned this to Colin, who is looking into improving the signal. However, it did not spoil our enjoyment in any way.

“OUR HOSTS WERE EXTREMELY WELCOMMING ...”

OUR HOSTS WERE EXTREMELY WELCOMMING AND FRIENDLY,A WONDERFUL WELCOME BASKET OF BREAD,MILK,EGGS ,TEA ,COFFEE, SUGAR AND A LOVELY CAKE ON ARRIVAL. THE GARDEN WAS VERY SECURE SO NO WORRIES ABOUT OUR DOG COMMING AND GOING FREELY. THE COTTAGE WAS VERY CLEAN, COMFORTABLE AND SPACIOUS. A VERY FRIENDLY VILLAGE WITH PLENTY OF GOOD DOG WALKS, AND A WELL STOCKED VILLAGE SHOP WITH LOCAL PRODUCE. OUR ONLY COMPLAINT WAS THAT THE WEEK WENT FAR TOO QUICKLY!!! WILL DEFINATELY BE RETURNING.

About the location

MOTCOMBE

Shaftsbury 3 miles; Salisbury 22 miles; Stonehenge 23 miles

The thriving village of Motcombe lies on the edge of North Dorset’s Blackmore Vale, just 3 miles from the ancient hilltop town of Shaftesbury. Motcombe has its own friendly community shop, post office and well-regarded country pub, The Coppleridge Inn. The local town of Shaftesbury, with a good range of shops and inns, is perched on a spur of rolling green hills with spectacular views reaching far across the rural landscape. One of the best vantage points is from Gold Hill (instantly recognisable as the setting of the iconic Hovis advert with its quaint, cobbled and very steep street. Motcombe sits amidst rolling countryside at the edge of the picturesque Blackmore Vale, and close to the Cranborne Chase AONB as well as many other areas of natural beauty and exceptional heritage, including the National Trust’s Stourhead. A wonderful location to explore the best of the West Country, and only just over an hour’s drive to the stunning Jurrassic Coast.
