It was a great cottage for both us and our dogs. There were lots of good walks locally. The dogs slept in the kitchen, it was a really dog friendly village. The cottage was well equipped and the owners had provided all the basics (washing up liquid, salt etc.) and more. It was great to be able to walk to such a welcoming pub with good food. I’m not used to a local shop so I probably didn’t use it as much as I could, it seemed to have all the essentials. West Dorset is beautiful and we plan on going back...

Great location with shop and pub very close. Also good childrens play park and lovely church and nice local walks. Very friendly village. Owner helpful and welcoming. Ideal for a couple. Very tastefully decorated and equipped; a very comfortable cottage. No wardrobes, but hanging rails. Parking on road outside door was easy. Spiral stair case. Visiting grandchild thought it fun - like castle. It was not a problem for us, but may need guidance for those with any mobility problems. Would enjoy a return stay. ...

Mr Tomson March 2019
The cottage has been refurbished to a very high standard, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms including very high quality appliances. The owners had obviously given a lot of thought to ensuring you have everything you need for an enjoyable holiday with your dog. There was even milk, local biscuits and a bottle of wine (& dog chew) waiting for us on arrival. We particularly liked the garden which was fully enclosed with a high fence so that we did not have to worry about our dog getting out. ...

We, two couples, had a wonderfull time at Ivy Cottage - we love this nice historic building with a warm and cozy atmosphere. The location of the cottage near the jurrassic coast and lots of historic attractions is absolut perfect. The garden of Ivy Cottage is sunny and an ideal place to relax after a trip. The rooms are well equipped and we had some nice cream teas on the terrace, a real sun trap. We also like this little village with very friendly people! We had every day some nice little walks around the village! A two minutes walk away we found the The Fox & Hounds Inn with excellent food! We will recommend Ivy Cottage to friends and family and hope we will come back again....
