Well provisioned property with some nice touches.

Very friendly owner who was very helpful.

The property is definitely rustic and is like stepping back in time ,for good and not so good reasons.

The access to the coastal path and a decent pub are excellent. There is no WiFi in the property and we really struggle with mobile data there too. We found the property to be very clean (particularly for an old cottage) but could do do with some repairs to the stairs, which are very loud when you walk on them and there are loose boards under the carpet. Anyone with mobility issues or those on the large/wide side would find staying here challenging when accessing through the front doors, using the stairs or transferring items from your car to the house.

The house was so nice, it has a real old school vibe and feels quirky and full of history.

Perfect for people looking for a quite get away, away from screens and busy life.

We had a very happy short break with our two dogs.

The location and enclosed garden were perfect for us. The cottage had everything we needed. Many thanks

Overall the property is great, it has everything you need for a great stay, its especially well located for access to the coastal path and to explore Dorset generally.

There is a very thorough information pack provided that tells you everything you need to know about the houses facilities. Parking was never an issue even as we arrived on a very warm and sunny bank holiday weekend. The kitchen is small but well appointed and has all you need to make food in your stay. One thing i would say is that some of the utensils are not in good condition. A pair of kitchen scissors fell apart as soon as they were used and had to be disposed of. The spatula is plastic and has been melted in several places and a pyrex jug appears to be very dirty and ultimately unusable. There were some cleanliness issues found in the house, mostly in the lounge, where there was some quite thick dust. I appreciate a property with an open fire will get dusty but there were places where you could write your name in it. The lounge is a little dated in style and the furniture is sufficient but not as comfortable as it might be. I'd caution anyone with mobility issues not to book here as access to the address involves walking a steep, narrow and uneven path. Also the main bedroom is at the top of a very steep and narrow staircase. The double bed is very comfortable but is quite tall and if you are short like me, requires a little more effort to get into. The bathroom is good but is downstairs and quite a way from the main bedroom so any night time trips mean using the creaky stair case which risks waking any light sleeping partner. Overall its a good property and with a few changes, it could be a great one.

A lovely cottage & perfectly placed for access to the Jurassic coastal path.

A lovely pub just 2 minutes away. Great weekend break.

Cosy cottage in a great location with its own (dog-proof) garden.

The cottage is well equipped and comfortable. It is near the lovely Smugglers Inn pub, which is useful. Great coastal walking right from the doorstep and Weymouth is only a few miles away. Lovely garden with flowers and an orchard (including a very comfy hammock) and somewhere to sit and have a drink in the evening. We very much enjoyed our stay here.

Perfect place!

Loved everything about it, great for a family get together. Great for dogs, on coastal path, couldn’t fault it at all, we’ll be back!
