Great find. Lovely stay
We really enjoyed our time at Elbow cottage. It’s a quirky old thatched cottage with lots of character but also plenty of space. We found it very comfortable and well equipped. It’s conveniently located for lots of sightseeing. We will happily book again next time we come to this part of the world.

Pleasant accomodation
The hosts were friendly and helpful and the accommodation was comfortable and well equipped. However it took a long time for it to warm up as the heating wasn't on when we arrived. I don't consider the bathroom was 'en suite' to the main bedroom as it was up some steep windy stairs. Also the shower had seen better days. The surrounding area is beautiful but we would choose somewhere with a pub close by another time.

Lovely country cottage
The cottage had a quaint thatched roof, comfortable and clean with a modern kitchen. Handy downstairs toilet. Lovely welcoming fresh flowers in the dining room and a cake in the kitchen. Nice local walk around Frampton park which was close by. A couple of nice pubs but needed the car. Nicely situated to explore Dorset.

A sanctuary for a re-union with a family member.
The Elbow was cosy and homely, a home away from home with a lovely cottage garden and friendly hosts.

The cottage is beautifully presented and well equipped. It is very well placed for visiting Dorchester and the surrounding Dorset coast and countryside. The owners are very welcoming and helpful.
