Awesome, lovely place

philippa's place is the most idilic little cottage you can imagine. It's so cosy and the furniture is beautiful. The fire place is brilliant and had great fun cooking a roast in the oven. The bed is literally like sleeping on a cloud. Loved it!

Lovely cottage in a beautiful little village, close to excellent pub and playground

LOVED staying here. Comfortable, quirky and in a fabulous neighbourhood. No hesitations recommending Philippa's house.

This cottage is perfect :) Philippa's home is just what we needed for a short getaway and it's so peaceful. We loved the decor and all the little nik-naks that give the property so much character. It's great having a lovely local pub under a minutes walk away... which serves up some great home cooked food. Philippa was more than helpful with recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed and was very flexible with checkin/checkout times. Highly recommend staying here... wish we had more time.

This cottage does exactly what it says on the tin and the photos really do it justice. I have had a lovely 2 night break here with my dog and enjoyed the local walks and a drive down to the beach. Worth every penny.

A great stop on the way down to east Dorset. Lovely wood burning stove and fabulous kitchen for cooking a meal. A few minutes walk from the local pub. Very accommodating host when my husband left his coat in the cottage!

Wonderful little house in a beautiful village. Really comfortable and well equipped - the kitchen was particularly brilliant and had everything you could possibly need. Great for a couple and a cosy weekend away!

Loved staying here. Beautiful cottage with every tech and gadget you could ever wish for!

Great place to stay and felt like we were in our own little world, will definitely be back

We had a family weekend with 2 doggies and all loved it! Wonderfully comfy beds, and having every bedroom ensuite was a real asset. Kitchen well equiped for our family meals. We had a lovely lunch on the terrace too. Was perfect for the two dogs as the courtyard garden was enclosed so no escapees!. Peaceful location on Jason's fabulous farm. We got to see the sheep being sheared. Enjoyed walks around the fields, and into the local village for a pint! Perfect weekend. Thank you.

Great house and great location

We had a brilliant stay at The Granary. The countryside is beautiful and thue house is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is great with good oven space to cook for eight people and we all appreciated having en suite bathrooms. We would definitely go back.

This place is perfect, peaceful and relaxing. All good size bedrooms with bathrooms. Would definitely book again!

A beautiful authentic converted mill with period features in gorgeous countryside

We had a great stay at the Mill House.There were 11 of us and it was spacious and comfortable.The garden is very well maintained with good sitting area. It was great to sit out and have breakfast with the sound of the river.

Good times at Emma's place. We were down for a wedding & the house was a fabulous base for the weekend. Very picturesque.

Our expectations were high and unfortunately not met. Nice host, location is very beautiful but the accommodation and farm in general less so. It was not the special experience we had hoped for. The bed was not uncomfortable but you could count the springs. It really needs to be retired. You can hear activity through the wall and we could not sit outside at the table and chairs provided due to the smell and sound of the oil powered furnace. We did not have a bad time but it was not the special experience we had hoped for.

Granary cottage was great, more than I expected. Warm, cosy and secluded. Perfect. Rosemary was there to greet us and then left us to it the whole weekend. Very relaxing with the log burner going. Would highly recommend.

A lovely place to stay...very quiet, cosy and self contained. A car is essential to make the most of the area.

A wonderful country cottage nestled in the wilds of Dorset. Small and cosy, it's ideal for couples as it only sleeps two. Pet friendly so bring the dog! Well located to get to the coast (Burton Bradstock being the closest, about 20mins away) or Seatown and Bridport to the west or Studland and Swanage to the east. Propety was clean and tidy and host had left us towels to use as well as handy things like washing up liquid.

Absolutely fantastic cottage to get away from it all and relax in the beautiful Dorset countryside. Couldn't recommend it highly enough, and Rosemary was a wonderful host!

The Granary is cosy and quiet, the bed is fab, a real WOW! The lovely farm is down a long single track and well away from everything. A real retreat! The area is so beautiful too!

We stayed at David's barn with 8 people + dog and this was a brilliant experience! We received a warm welcome, the place was easy to find and everything was above expectations. David is a very friendly, easy going and positive thinking person and this made it all the more enjoyable. Very peaceful surroundings and little light pollution, making it the ideal location for stargazing. It is a very dog-friendly sheep farm with good fences, plenty of fields where the dog can run around off the lead. Great for making walks in the area. Getting to the Jurassic coast (and other attractions) by car is quick and easy (around 20 min or so), so this barn offers the best of both worlds: a quiet and relaxing spot in the fields as well as being close to the major attractions of the region. I would definitely recommend the barn!

We had the most fabulous weekend at the barn So pretty and homely felt rested and energised after our visit David and Sarah were brilliant hosts and even took our little crew in a trailer ride to see the whole farm Would love to make a return visit

David made us feel extremely welcome. Our party was comprised of adults and young children. We all had a brilliant time and will definately be coming back. The house was very clean, well maintained comfortable and we all felt at home. Trinny the pig was a great hit and feeding her our scraps made us feel less wasteful. Great views and a great location. Many thanks to David for making it a memorable holiday!!

David was utterly charming and friendly. We arrived late and he supplied us with materials for the following morning's breakfast. He was extremely accommodating of the nature of our stay (my wedding, so I wasn't about much!) And really paid attention to our needs. A charming home and a charming garden in a beautiful remote place away from it all. Go there!

David was extremely accommodating with everything. We had some lovely cake on arrival and the kids absolutely enjoyed heading out on the tractor each morning! Absolutely Stunning View! Thank you so much for making us feel welcome David!

What a great find! Everything we could have needed in a holiday cottage away from it all. We will be back!

Wonderful cottage! Secluded and plenty of outside space for the dogs to run around. No wifi and limited phone signal which made the stay even better!! House is very large and we had plenty of space for 6 adults and 3 dogs!! David very friendly and lots of maps and local information available. Would definitely stay again!!

This is a prime location in Dorset. David and Sarah are very kind and took care of me and my family well beyond just providing a beautiful place to stay. The Cottage itself is located on a plateau above the Dorset coastline and the road approaching it offers marvelous views. The furnishing and fittings in the "cottage" clearly allow it to be referred to as a home, as there was nothing temporary or approximate: the heating is central, all windows are new, the two showers are large with new fittings, and the beds also appear to be new. The furniture is comfortable and the fireplace works very well - when I required fresh wood for a fire, David brought it right over. The cottage is located on a 130 acre farm, which David showed to me and my family in "hay ride" style, delighting my young son not only with the ride behind the tractor, but also with horses, sheep (including witness of their dog herding the sheep and bringing them to us), rams, chickens and the remains of a small "castle". When asked, David provided me with itineraries and maps to view the Dorset Jurassic coast and its many sites. If you don't mind driving 15 minutes daily on scenic country roads, I certainly recommend David's cottage over a Weymouth hotel.

Homely Cottage is the perfect place to stay and explore the surrounding areas. David and his family were extremely welcoming and it was lovely of David to show us around the farm on the tractor ride..which both adults and children enjoyed. The cottage was very comfortable, toasted marshmallows on the open fire after a day of sight seeing. Monkey world, fireworks at West Bay, molly's den and the Station Kitchen is a must to visit. We were a large group and we were all very comfortable, bedrooms were comfortable, and sitting area large enough to cater for us all. Thank you for a fantastic stay, wish it was for longer but it certainly will be next time we all visit.

Accurate description. Host exceptionally helpful. Extra facilities were available e.g. logs, BBQ, dishwasher, so just ask. David let us use his OS map and showed us local walking routes which we used for a great day out including an excellent meal at the Three Horseshoes in Powerstock. The picnic bench in the main photo was perfect to eat dinner and watch the sun set.

Melanie was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The little house was a perfect, charming getaway with everything you need and more, including a huge comfortable bed. We only wish we could have enjoyed it more but we had our 3 week old baby with us! Thanks for a great stay...

A wonderful little cabin in an idyllic rural location. Very clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. A very relaxing stay

The Little House is a real gem and the surrounding landscapes are sublime. Melanie and her family were very welcoming and helpful throughout my time here and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet countryside escape.

As other guests have said, the bedroom is very comfortable, even luxurious, the bathroom spacious and well equipped and the over the bath shower very efficient. However, the "large flat screen TV" felt small as it had only a 19" screen and the kitchen would only suit those doing only simple cooking - the fridge/freezer was a fridge with a normal ice cube compartment and the only oven was the small combination microwave. The partitioned area of the garden reserved for The Little House was sunny in the middle of the day but shaded by trees in the morning and late afternoon

We had a wonderful stay at The Little House over New Year. The house had everything we needed and was a lovely, warm and cosy base for us and our labradoodle! We'd definitely recommend and hope to return!

A lovely stay at Melanie's little house in Dorset! We hope to return again one day. The place was very well presented with everything we needed plus extras such as the tasty flapjacks on arrival! We appreciated being able to bring our four legged family member with us too :) she also enjoyed her stay! Lots of great walks nearby.

Hooke is a beautiful little Hamlet and this cottage was off the main road near a lovely river. The standard of the accommodation was excellent. It was furnished in such good taste, well appointed and oh so comfortable. It is off the track a bit but a great spot to stay for a bit of a rest and place to explore the area. Don't miss out on a trip to Beaminster for a fabulous restaurant and lovely little shops.

We had the most incredible stay at Heneford Mill. The house was impeccably presented and equipped, the rooms were very spacious and comfy, the kitchen was a great space for 10+ people and the outdoor space was enormous and perfect for the kids. Mona was incredibly helpful prior to our stay providing lots of useful information and advice about the local area. We all fell in love with this place!

We had a very comfortable and restful time at Mona's house. We were met by Sue, who gave us some local tips and who answered any questions we had. The house was clean and it was a pleasure to spend time in. The pool was warm and the grounds were really beautiful. There was an extensive book collection which we used, a lovely Arga to cook on and a trampoline to work off all the calories we consumed as we lazed around!

The house was stunning, in a lovely setting and with everything exactly as described in the listing. Mona was easily contactable throughout the process and everything ran very smoothly. Mona was happy to accommodate our inquiries and the whole group are hoping to return in the future.

We had a great Easter weekend in Heneford Mill with 3 couples and 6 kids. Mona was a wonderful host to deal with, very quick to respond and extremely forth coming with any advise and help. We sadly never met face to face so all our communication was on email and text. We were however greeted by Sue a local who answered any questions we had.The house is a wonderful family home, the highlights are the massive kitchen with AGA, the fire place in the living room and the stunning master bedroom with incredible views all around. The grounds (including private stream) are vast, sadly the weather didn't allow us to explore much. Thank you Mona for making our stay one to remember!

This house is great and has it all! There was plenty of room for our group of nine and we could have easily fitted in a few more. The bedrooms are lovely and the kitchen is a great space for communal cooking. Even better though, is the setting. The house is surrounded by a beautiful garden with herb and flower beds, that backs onto fields. We did lots of lovely walks from the garden to nearby villages...and didn't see a soul, except the odd tractor. A day trip to nearby Cerne Abbas is recommended. We have all completely fallen in love with the Wriggle Valley and would definitely recommend Heneford Mill for a break with a touch of luxury. I haven't even mentioned the swimming pool (I discovered a swim before breakfast is absolutely the thing!) Mona arranged for housekeeper Sue to pop by to make sure we had everything we needed. Thanks Mona we will be back.

If you're looking for a peaceful, beautiful, rural setting then this is it. The house and grounds are gorgeous and there is literally acres of space for the kids to run around. Plus of course the pool and the extremely popular trampoline, as well as the sheep in the field. Be prepared to drive almost everywhere (there is loads to do in the area within 30 minutes in every direction - Dorset is great). The pub in the village which is within walking distance and has an excellent gastro kitchen.

This is a lovely place to stay for adults and children. The kitchen is great and well kitted out / and plenty of good places to sit about / eat outside. Lots things to do with kids - football goals, trampoline and pool etc - they loved it. House itself nice and big and v comfortable. Lovely. Go there. Also well located near to the Jurassic coast and Hauser and Wirth.

We had an excellent stay at Heneford Mill. The house is great with large rooms and an excellent garden and grounds. Plenty of space for the children to play outside and we all loved the pool. Good pub with food in the village Mona provide a comprehensive manual covering both the house and the surrounding area. Everything worked perfectly and there is plenty to do in the area round Sherborne, Dorchester and Yeovil with the coast easily accessible All in all, a very enjoyable stay for all ten of us.

We had a really lovely time and the house was just as described. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped and the general atmosphere in the house was very cosy and homely. Dorset is a lovely county and I would recommend a holiday in Nether Cerne to anyone wanting to relax and slip back in time.

This is a lovely out-of-the-way home with a beautiful garden and good walks all around the immediate area. It is like stepping back in time, the house is very large and comfortable with many books available and an open fire for the chillier evenings. There is a table-tennis table in the garage which is great fun. Both Cerne Abbas and also Dorchester are conveniently close enough for all services. And Chesil Beach is a half hour drive away, well worth a visit.

What a lovely cottage! We spent Christmas break here with 4 friends and were quite upset to have to leave! A short cab ride from Dorchester South station we soon found ourselves at The Pound House which is just outside a working farm. The house itself was a great size, with 2 large sitting rooms we never felt short of space. I imagine should 8 people stay here they would feel equally as comfortable. The furnishings may be dated, but it suits the house wonderfully and we wouldnt change a thing! This is clearly a loved family home of days gone by. We enjoyed a walk along nearby footpaths to the small town of Cerne Abbas to visit the Abbas Giant. It's a picturesque little town and well worth the visit. Quiet and secluded, you will only expect to hear a few cows nearby. We were delighted by the cute stream that ran nearby, and our little doggie adored running around the front gardens. Simon was a perfect host and did everything he could to ensure we had the best stay possible, which we did! Highly recommended and we look forward to visiting again in the future.

Beautiful characterful house with load of space, very comfortable and well equipped kitchen its home from home. Simon is very helpful. There is a loverly walk to Nether Cerne, go along the road to the village and back from Nether Cerne along the foot path towards Pound farm. Will definitely go back.

The house was lovely and in a really nice spot. Simon was a super good host. Very peaceful and cosy house. Will definitely come back again.

We did not end up using the place as planned but Kate was great and very organised with reaponsive comms. We will definitely be organising another trip

Beautifully appointed cottage with great facilities kids loved the pool. The dog loved the walls I loved the lanes for cycling around.We had a great time

Lorna was really friendly and welcoming on our arrival. The barn itself is lovely with open accommodation as shown in the photos. The private outside space was perfect for our dog and the swimming pool was a great bonus and was always empty when we wanted to use it. We really enjoyed exploring the area, it's in a great location but also really peaceful, plus walking distance to the pub in the village!

My wife and I, along with our dog, spent three fabulous days at Lorna and Andrew's Park Barn. We were welcomed by Lorna who is so friendly and generous and such an accommodating host. She welcomed us too with a delicious home baked cake and cookies as well as her home made marmalade - delicious. Oh and half a dozen eggs from her hens too! The barn is beautifully designed with everything you need on hand. We loved the fact that we looked out onto fields, horses, cows and chickens. The barn is decorated to a high standard and there are many lovely touches throughout. The indoor swimming pool was fantastic too - perfect for an evening swim before a glass of wine on the balcony terrace overlooking the beautiful Dorset countryside! Lorna gave us lots of useful information about the surrounding area. There are many lovely towns and villages to visit, including the Jurassic coast. It's a lovely part of England. We highly recommend the barn to anyone wanting the perfect rural idyll. We couldn't have asked for a more peaceful, refreshing and enjoyable break. Thank you Lorna and Andrew for a wonderful stay at the barn.

Had a fabulous weekend at Lornas barn. Very warm welcome from Lorna, and fresh eggs and homemade marmalade awaiting our arrival. Myself and two friends were looking for a nice relax and thats just what we had!! Lovely peaceful surroundings and fab swims in the pool. Beds are really comfy and towels all soft and fluffy! I would definitely recommend the barn to anyone looking for a getaway in the gorgeous Dorset countryside. Thanks Lorna!

We had a lovely time at the Park House Barn, which was furnished very comfortably. Our children loved the swimming pool and seeing the chickens, horses and Lorna's friendly dog, Orla. Breathtaking views of the English countryside, very child friendly and a wonderful host and hostess.

We've just returned from a fantastic stay at Park House Barn. Lorna was a great host and even left us some fudge and fresh eggs to get us started!! We were travelling with a 2-year old and a dog and the layout of the cottage and the land was absolutely ideal. At night when our little girl was asleep, there is a separate exit to an enclosed patio space for the dog so she could go out to do her business without us having to walk past the sleeping toddler's room and possibly disturb her. Likewise, in the morning, the dog could have a run around in a large open space in the adjoining fields whilst our toddler looked at the chickens and horse and play on the swings and the slide. We've been to a number of holiday cottages and this is by far the best layout and it made it so easy to manage. Often we need to figure out who's going to take the dog out and who's going to look after the child but at Park House Barn we could achieve everything without straying too far from the cottage. The swimming pool is a major plus point as well. It's a good size and steady 30/31 degrees so is plenty warm enough for children to swim comfortably. The kitchen is very well equipped and the living area is a very good size. There is a DVD player and plenty of DVDs to choose from as well as a wide selection of books, both for adults and kids. The location is also excellent and we were at the South coast within 45 minutes and there is plenty of stuff to do even closer. All in all a fantastic stay and we'll surely go back.

A lovely, cosy, clean and comfortable property. The barn is set on the edge of two villages. One with its own shop (great for those essentials missed off the shopping list!) and the other with a fantastic pub where we enjoyed a lovely last night meal and a couple of pints on the first evening. The pool is fantastic – heated to a good temperature; showers "en suite" and with some pool toys for the kids. There are plenty of DVD's and games to keep you entertained on those rainy days and the heating was more than adequate when it was a little chilly out! Would highly recommend!!!

What an iddilic place! A converted barn on a farm! So quiet, but lots of walks and things to do in the area. 3 days wasn't enough! Lorna and her family are lovely and are great hosts. The honey, eggs, marmalade and home made chocolate brownies on arrival were all delicious! We will definitely be back, this time in the Summer.

Perry was very welcoming. The house was clean and comfortable. The accommodation is a bit quirky and unusual with a quaint double attic room and another double room on the 1st floor along with a bathroom. There are two cats roaming around and a lovely outside sitting area with a beautiful rural view. The house is on the A35 just before Winterbourne Abbas. Easy to miss as hidden behind the trees.
