Weekend in February
Very nice spacious house with lots of facilities. everyone particularly liked the hot pool even though the weather was very cold. Wimbourne is a lovely town and we enjoyed a very nice Sunday lunch in the Olive Branch Pub.

The Gatehouse, Dorset
If you like quirky and unusual then this house would suit you. The accommodation is a good size, we were a party of eleven adults across three generations and we were all comfortable. The welcome hamper, games room and hot tub made everyone very happy. The big disappointment was the hassle we received from the woman running the neighbouring café….. she verbally complained to us about the parking the whole holiday, even asking us when we were leaving and eventually putting a note on our vehicle informing us that it was a private car park. We were informed on booking that there was ample space for parking…… so if you feel you want a holiday with nothing but hassle about parking then go for it. Sadly it spoiled what otherwise was a pleasant holiday. We would recommend this property to others because of location but be warned.

A wonderful holiday
Nine family members stayed in this beautiful house in Wimborne. It was perfect for us - very well equipped and comfortable with a nice garden and a few minutes walk into the centre of the lovely little town. The New Forest is close by and various beaches not too far plus stately homes and gardens. All together a great house in a lovely area. Would thoroughly recommend it.
