We stayed in this lovely cottage last week for 6 days and it was such a clean and comfortable cottage. John and Kim kept in touch prior to our visit and said we could check in earlier than the check in time which really helped make the most of our first day. We had a tour of the cottage on arrival and had everything we needed, even some biscuits which the kids were very pleased with . The beds were comfortable and the kitchen and bathroom are modern and well equipped, with plenty of soft towels. The garden was great for the kids.Location is super, easy to get to nearby attractions and various beaches are all easily accessible. All in all, a great place to stay with lovely hosts, we will definately stay again and thoroughly recommend.

The house is so clean and spacious, the pictures do not do it justice. A great base to explore the area. The hosts John and Kim are so nice, on hand if you need them but never intrusive. We would throughly recommend and we wood definitely stay there again.

Lovely Location

We had a wonderful stay in this cottage. Lovely owners met us to show us around and were on hand if required. The place had everything we could need and was very cosy. On a lovely location along with the owners property, very close to all the amenities you could need, yet quiet and private with good relaxing views. We enjoyed Weymouth, Swanage, Studland etc with plenty more to visit and good towns and pubs local too. Definitely will return.

A brilliant place to stay

This is a fantastic property at a great location. Homely and comfortable with everything you need for a visit. The owner are a lovely couple who make you feel at home and then leave you to it. They are there if you need them. The bonus was watching the nighttime feeding of the vixen and her 2 cubs. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you John and Kim .

Central location & well maintained property.

Very clean throughout. All rooms fresh looking and well decorated. Owner thoughtfully left milk, biscuits, tea and coffee. Owners friendly but unobtrusive - live very close to property. But no drier or clothes line at property itself - maybe could have shared owner's line? Good location to explore a delightful part of the country. Wareham pubs excellent for food and beer. Recommend Horse & Groom and Kings Arms. Property a bit on the expensive side?

Discovering Dorset

Four of us stopped for a week from 28/6 in this wonderful cottage. We found that it was exactly as described. The cottage itself was spacious, very well maintained, very well equipped and in lovely surroundings. The owners were delightful and very helpful. We particularly enjoyed the lovely garden and outdoor space. It formed an ideally situated base for our holiday . We specifically booked this to go to the Tankfest at Bovington Camp for which it proved ideal and we were also able to visit a number of National Trust properties and gardens nearby. Our only regret was that we were unable to stay for longer to explore more of Dorset. We enjoyed walking around Wareham itself and also other closely located towns and villages. We have no hesitation in giving this property the highest recommendation. Thanks to Kimberly and John for a lovely stay.

Lovely welcome from the owners.Spotlessly clean and mostly comfortable.Tea, coffee and biscuits left for us.In a very good position for exploring the local area.Hadn’t realised the house was next to a main road, so garden was quite noisy.Not in a private location, other family houses nearby.Stairs up to the bedroom were quite steep and unlit from the bottom.No dishwasher. Other amenities were fine.

A lovely family break

Our second stay here and on arrival we were met with the usual warm welcome from the delightful Kim and John. They provided us with, among other things, tea, coffee, milk, biscuits, strawberries in the fridge and a huge bowl of fresh fruit. The house was clean, fresh and tidy with everything a family needs for a short break. And if you did want anything Kim and John are always on hand (without being intrusive) to help out.We had our grandkids, two girls 13 and 10, and boy 6, who thoroughly enjoyed the large, private lawned garden and its surrounding field.It’s a short drive to the local sports centre for a swim and just a few minutes drive further on to Wareham town centre and a good dinner at the Italian Kitchen on the quay.Swanage beach is great for kids with cafes, ice creams and amusements right by the beach. We parked at the main beach car park which is a five minute walk to the beach where we hired two loungers and a wind break and spent the day sunbathing and swimming. We took a picnic but coffee, drinks, food etc are available on the beach side road which is pedestrianised in the summer. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Kim and John’s property as a relaxing and comfortable base for exploring the local area including the Tank Museum (excellent) and Monkey World which are a few minutes away.

lovely long weekend .

Spotlessly clean . Perfect for our needs. Hosts were super friendly. Location was great near places of interest. If we had to find fault which was not easy maybe bed linen was a bit old fashioned but certainly did not impact our stay. Would definitely recommend without hesitation.

Wonderful Visit!

This home was cute, cozy, and spotless! We really enjoyed our stay here and the owners were very kind and helpful, especially since this was our first time to the area and we were unfamiliar with where to visit. The house had a very nice walk in shower and all the amenities we needed. Our kids loved the fenced in yard and toys and spent a lot of time playing outside as well :)
