We had a lovely stay at Manor Cottage, the area was beautiful and the house was perfect for us. Had a cosy evening by the fire and explored the local area. Thank you very much!

We had a lovely stay in this gorgeous property. The house is beautiful and full of character — it’s ancient, and you really feel part of its history. The upstairs bedrooms are lovely, the beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms were immaculate. The surrounding area is delightful, with streams, brooks, and stunning walks (bring wellies :)!). The internet worked very well throughout most of the house; however, there was no connectivity in the main TV room, which meant the smart TV couldn’t access streaming services. We were quite happy without TV, but this would benefit from being addressed. 4g works here. Due to persistent heavy rain during our stay, the snug room was unfortunately very damp. The carpet was wet and the room felt affected by moisture, so we kept the door closed as it was uncomfortable to use. This space would benefit from damp control and a dehumidifier. Aside from this, the rest of the house more than made up for it, and we had a wonderful time overall. Thank you.

A really beautiful place to stay. Six of us stayed for two nights. It was cosy, stylish and in the most beautiful surroundings. It was the end of November so we didn’t sit in the garden but I would heartily recommend this place for an escape and I can imagine in warmer weather it would be lovely to sit outside. The cottage is absolutely beautiful and of course Dorset has so many great places to visit. There’s a walk that goes right past the house although we didn’t do that one. Brilliant stay. Thank you.
