    Everything so clean and well maintained. Excellent information pack which made our stay even more enjoyable. Exceptionally comfy bed. In the hot tub everyday watching the deer graze the fields. Nice touches in the woodland area with the fire pits,swings, croquet and chairs dotted about the place. We were sorry to leave.

  • Dawn

    Finished ro a high standard with a really comfortable bed. Very peaceful and private. We will return.

  • Mark

    An absolutely great escape, with deer walking in your garden, the hawks flying above, and even a sea lion came up on the beach at Durdle Door when we visited. Wimborne minster is the closest quaint village with some lovely shops and pubs / restaurants
