The host Anthea (and her lovely doggies Pasha & Ziggy) was so lovely, the delicious cake and daffodils were very much appreciated too! We can’t wait to book here again, really recommend to anyone looking to stay here. The whole process was very simple and Anthea couldn’t do enough for you. Beautiful cottage and surrounding area. Feeding the chickens every morning was a treat but seeing all the stars at night was the best part for us - the skylight window in the second bedroom made this trip for me alone!?? 10/10!!!...

This is a lovely property, beautifully and thoughtfully furnished in a great location. We received a warm welcome from the owner and assorted farm animals and pets and it provided a great countryside base from which to explore the local area with Shaftesbury shops and amenities close by. ...

Beautiful location with warm welcome from owners. Great area to explore on foot. Can walk to villages nearby and Shaftesbury is a 5 minute drive away.

Little disappointing. Downstairs very dark. Bedrooms would benefit from a little bit of updating. Owners friendly and helpful.
