Cannot fault it. So much love, care and attention have gone into putting it all together and it is so appreciated. The added gift of a fabulous hamper from the Dorset Hamper company was such a lovely touch. We are looking to booking yet again for next year. Thank you.

We loved everything about it. The location is beautiful and plenty of space. The balcony is just wonderful, I spent many a morning eating my breakfast out there. 2 sets of keys was perfect for a family going their separate ways. We shall definitely book again for next year! Thank you so much
