What our customers say about their holidays

  What a wonderful place in the perfect location for exploring Dorset.

  Nordon House is lovely making you feel like it's a home from home with some thoughtful touches throughout. The garden is at the bottom of the drive detached from the house but this is perfect creating a cute little hideaway for either for a peaceful drink or play, Jack hasn't stopped talking about how good the garden was since we got back. The neighbours are really friendly and Jack loved getting to know the dogs. We will hopefully be booking again but for selfish reasons wish it wasn't so exceptional as we know it will be a struggle to find availability during school holidays as it gets more and more popular. Overall I would recommend if you want a great location with local shops on your doorstop for supplies and a good sized holiday home offering you everything you need to create those memories. Thank you to David and Anne for letting us stay at your exceptional holiday home. P.S. having 3 showers within the property was brilliant. Thanks again Mark

  Thatched Cottage is very old and comfortable and has all one needs for a quiet relaxing holiday in a fantastic country setting, but needs some internal TLC, the wall as you enter the cottage is breaking away (plaster?

  ), in the excellent conservatory , and utility quite a few of the Double glazed windows have 'blown' spoiling the wonderful views . Having said this the cottage is well equipped and very comfortable if you want peace and quiet this is the place for you, many eating places and country houses/parks etc all close by, or relax in the lovely gardens with chairs and cushions supplied by the owners, listening to the birds and if up early enough to see the deer walking across the fields, The owner (Karen) who lives opposite the cottage is lovely and has fresh eggs and lovely venison produce if you are not a vegetarian, Both are highly recommended as in general is the Thatched Cottage, if the time and expense allows to fix the above items could be 100% perfect . The 5pm take over time is very late and should be brought in line with most other holiday lets, usually 3pm. (4pm at the very latest)

  This was our first visit to the area and we definatley plan to return.

  The cottage is very well located (just a 30 – 45 minute drive to some lovely walks and attractions, with Cerne Abbas just a 10 minute drive away), charming and well equipped. Phone signal/wifi is a bit “hit & miss”, but there was good wifi signal in the downstairs bedroom & conservatory (and for us, this was sufficient). The garden is huge & somewhat secure, although I would recommend you keep an eye your pooches as there are some gaps an ”escape artist” could possibly find. It was so tranquil and a very comfortable cottage to stay in. We came with 2 dogs – a senior & a puppy – and we found the book on the coffee table “Dorset Dog Walks (or Ronnie’s Rambles” both useful and entertaining. Do take the time to meet Karen in the right hand cottage opposite – she is a mine of information & a source of local venison. We are looking forward to returning soon.

  This was our second stay at Kerridge, Cerne Abbas and we had another lovely week.

  It is an ideally situated property for exploring Dorset and the coast set in a beautiful village with lovely walks not far from the property. The property itself is very clean and comfortable and my partner and I and our two dogs thoroughly enjoyed our stay again and we certainly hope to visit again. The village shop is a real bonus and I can recommend it. Our only one minor thing which we found was a problem was the television aerial was loose fitting into the back of the television. As a result the picture was breaking up now and again and sometimes no picture at all. I appreciate people don’t go on holiday to watch tv, but it is useful in the evenings or if the weather is wet. Otherwise another perfect holiday and please thank the owner for the very kind gift of the welcome hamper, greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Our stay at Norden house left us not wanting to leave.

  We had a fantastic week stay here. The cottage was truly amazing with period features. Everything you could have wanted the house was equipped with it. There was 4 adults, 2 toddlers and 1 dog in our party and there was tonnes of space for us all. The outdoor paddock was something special with a added retro caravan for us all to enjoy. My wife and I stayed out till the early ours stargazing and enjoyed a bottle of champagne. We will be going back as the location is perfect for walkers, beaches, lovely towns to shop and so much more. We came back Friday 8th and already looking to book up again. The owners are fantastic and on hand if anything is needed. Thanks Danny Carter-Walford
