The cottages themselves from the outside look small but as you walk in they are like a tardis. Very spacious, clean, great views and generally lovely. Having the views and stables in your back garden was a wonderful addition. Very quiet at night and only heard the horses when we fully opened the windows. We had an issue with our shower, the plumber came out same day and changed it, could not fault the team they were amazing. Definitely highly recommend these cottages. Short drive from Weymouth beach and not far from all the sites. We all had such a lovely week away.

But parking arrangements could be improved as the shrub beds result in 9 spaces along six cottages whereas two cars per cottage are advertised.

My family and I had a wonderful experience and holiday and the accommodation was lovely. It was so peaceful and had wonderful views from the back, we especially enjoyed views of the horses and sheep in the paddocks and the birdlife was just lovely. Thank you and we look forward to staying there again in the near future. Many thanks again.
